Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 12 ACMG points: 12P and 0B. PM1PM2PM5PP2PP3_StrongPP5
The NM_002397.5(MEF2C):c.80G>C(p.Gly27Ala) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. 12/21 in silico tools predict a damaging outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic (no stars). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. G27R) has been classified as Likely pathogenic.
MEF2C (HGNC:6996): (myocyte enhancer factor 2C) This locus encodes a member of the MADS box transcription enhancer factor 2 (MEF2) family of proteins, which play a role in myogenesis. The encoded protein, MEF2 polypeptide C, has both trans-activating and DNA binding activities. This protein may play a role in maintaining the differentiated state of muscle cells. Mutations and deletions at this locus have been associated with severe cognitive disability, stereotypic movements, epilepsy, and cerebral malformation. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2010]
Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 12 ACMG points.
PM1
?
PM1 - Located in a mutational hot spot and/or critical and well-established functional domain (e.g., active site of an enzyme) without benign variation
In a hotspot region, there are 7 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 0 benign, 3 uncertain in NM_002397.5
PM2
?
PM2 - Absent from controls (or at extremely low frequency if recessive) in Exome Sequencing Project, 1000 Genomes Project, or Exome Aggregation Consortium
Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage;
PM5
?
PM5 - Novel missense change at an amino acid residue where a different missense change determined to be pathogenic has been seen before
Other missense variant is known to change same aminoacid residue: Variant chr5-88804777-C-T is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 2169514.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.
PP2
?
PP2 - Missense variant in a gene that has a low rate of benign missense variation and in which missense variants are a common mechanism of disease
Missense variant where missense usually causes diseases, MEF2C
PP3
?
PP3 - Multiple lines of computational evidence support a deleterious effect on the gene or gene product (conservation, evolutionary, splicing impact, etc.)
MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.984
PP5
?
PP5 - Reputable source recently reports variant as pathogenic, but the evidence is not available to the laboratory to perform an independent evaluation
Variant 5-88804776-C-G is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr5-88804776-C-G is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 40216.Status of the report is no_assertion_criteria_provided, 0 stars. Variant chr5-88804776-C-G is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].
