Our verdict is Uncertain significance. The variant received 0 ACMG points: 1P and 1B. PP3BP3
The NM_004456.5(EZH2):c.557_568delATGATGATGATG(p.Asp186_Asp189del) variant causes a disruptive inframe deletion change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. It is difficult to determine the true allele frequency of this variant because it is of type DEL_BIG, and the frequency of such variant types in population databases may be underestimated and unreliable. No clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar.
EZH2 (HGNC:3527): (enhancer of zeste 2 polycomb repressive complex 2 subunit) This gene encodes a member of the Polycomb-group (PcG) family. PcG family members form multimeric protein complexes, which are involved in maintaining the transcriptional repressive state of genes over successive cell generations. This protein associates with the embryonic ectoderm development protein, the VAV1 oncoprotein, and the X-linked nuclear protein. This protein may play a role in the hematopoietic and central nervous systems. Multiple alternatively splcied transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been identified for this gene.
