Genes affected
ORC4 (HGNC:8490): (origin recognition complex subunit 4) The origin recognition complex (ORC) is a highly conserved six subunit protein complex essential for the initiation of the DNA replication in eukaryotic cells. Studies in yeast demonstrated that ORC binds specifically to origins of replication and serves as a platform for the assembly of additional initiation factors such as Cdc6 and Mcm proteins. This gene encodes a subunit of the ORC complex. Several alternatively spliced transcript variants, some of which encode the same protein, have been reported for this gene.

This variant is interpreted as a Likely Pathogenic, for Meier-Gorlin syndrome 2, in Autosomal Recessive manner. The following ACMG Tag(s) were applied: PM2 => Absent from controls (or at extremely low frequency if recessive) in Exome Sequencing Project, 1000 Genomes Project, or Exome Aggregation Consortium. PP3 => Multiple lines of computational evidence support a deleterious effect on the gene or gene product. PP1-Moderate => PP1 upgraded in strength to Moderate (PMID:21358632,21358631). PM3 => For recessive disorders, detected in trans with a pathogenic variant (PMID:21358632,21358631).

Significance:Pathogenic
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces tyrosine, which is neutral and polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 174 of the ORC4 protein (p.Tyr174Cys). This variant is present in population databases (rs387906847, gnomAD 0.004%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with Meier-Gorlin syndrome (PMID: 21358632; internal data). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 30295). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt ORC4 protein function with a positive predictive value of 80%. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.
