Genes affected

EPM2A (HGNC:3413): (EPM2A glucan phosphatase, laforin) This gene encodes a dual-specificity phosphatase and may be involved in the regulation of glycogen metabolism. The protein acts on complex carbohydrates to prevent glycogen hyperphosphorylation, thus avoiding the formation of insoluble aggregates. Loss-of-function mutations in this gene have been associated with Lafora disease, a rare, adult-onset recessive neurodegenerative disease, which results in myoclonus epilepsy and usually results in death several years after the onset of symptoms. The disease is characterized by the accumulation of insoluble particles called Lafora bodies, which are derived from glycogen. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2018]

This variant has not been reported in the literature but is present in the Genome Aggregation Database (Highest reported MAF 0.1% (95/67772) (https://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/variant/6-145735475-C-T?dataset=gnomad_r3). This variant is present in ClinVar, with multiple classifications of Likely Benign or Benign (Variation ID:137222). Evolutionary conservation and computational predictive tools for this variant are limited or unavailable. Of note, this variant is a silent variant and does not change the amino acid, reducing the probability that this variant is disease causing. In summary, data on this variant suggests that this variant does not cause disease but requires further evidence. Therefore, this variant is classified as likely benign. -
