Genes affected

ZEB2 (HGNC:14881): (zinc finger E-box binding homeobox 2) The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the Zfh1 family of 2-handed zinc finger/homeodomain proteins. It is located in the nucleus and functions as a DNA-binding transcriptional repressor that interacts with activated SMADs. Mutations in this gene are associated with Hirschsprung disease/Mowat-Wilson syndrome. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene.[provided by RefSeq, Jan 2010]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product undergoes nonsense mediated mRNA decay. LoF is a known mechanism of disease.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 2-144401211-G-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr2-144401211-G-A is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 160329.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars. Variant chr2-144401211-G-A is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg302*) in the ZEB2 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in ZEB2 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 16053902). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individuals with Mowat-Wilson syndrome (PMID: 15121779, 19842203). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 160329). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

The heterozygous p.Arg302Ter variant in ZEB2 was identified by our study in one individual with periventricular heterotopia, agenesis of the corpus callosum, and seizures. Trio exome analysis showed this variant to be de novo. The p.Arg302Ter variant in ZEB2 has been previously reported in at least 4 unrelated individuals with Mowat Wilson syndrome (PMID: 28096981, PMID: 29093530, PMID: 15121779, PMID: 19842203). The number of reported affected individuals with this variant is slightly greater than expected compared to non-affected individuals with this variant. This variant was found to be de novo in 2 individuals with confirmed paternity and maternity (PMID: 28096981, PMID: 29093530). This variant has also been reported in ClinVar (Variation ID: 160329) and has been interpreted as pathogenic by multiple submitters. This variant was absent from large population studies. This nonsense variant leads to a premature termination codon at position 302, which is predicted to lead to a truncated or absent protein. Heterozygous loss of function of the ZEB2 gene is an established disease mechanism in autosomal dominant Mowat Wilson syndrome. In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for Mowat Wilson syndrome. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: PVS1, PS2, PS4_Moderate, PM2_Supporting (Richards 2015). -
