Genes affected
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]

The MEF2C c.2T>C (p.Met1?) variant alters the initiator methionine amino acid and the resultant protein is described as p.Met1? to denote that whether the loss of the methionine at codon 1 prevents all protein translation or causes abnormal protein formation from an alternate methionine is unknown. To our knowledge, this variant has not been reported in the peer-reviewed literature. However, three different start loss variants, including at least two de novo variants, have been reported in individuals with MEF2C deficiency (PMID: 34055696; 26633542). The c.2T>C variant is reported in the Genome Aggregation Database in one allele at a frequency of 0.000065 in the African/ African American population (version 2.1.1). This variant was identified in a de novo state. Based on the available evidence, the c.2T>C (p.Met1?) variant is classified as likely pathogenic for neurodevelopmental disorder with hypotonia, stereotypic hand movements, and impaired language. -

The de novo c.2T>C pathogenic variant in the MEF2C gene has not been reported previously as a pathogenic variant nor as a benign variant, to our knowledge. This variant was not observed at any significant frequency in approximately 6500 individuals of European and African American ancestry in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project. As this pathogenic variant changes the translation initiator Methionine codon, the resultant protein is described as p.Met1?, using a question mark to signify that it is not known if the loss of Met1 means that all protein translation is completely prevented or if an abnormal protein is produced using an alternate Methionine. We interpret c.2T>C as a pathogenic variant. -
