Genes affected
EFEMP2 (HGNC:3219): (EGF containing fibulin extracellular matrix protein 2) A large number of extracellular matrix proteins have been found to contain variations of the epidermal growth factor (EGF) domain and have been implicated in functions as diverse as blood coagulation, activation of complement and determination of cell fate during development. The protein encoded by this gene contains four EGF2 domains and six calcium-binding EGF2 domains. This gene is necessary for elastic fiber formation and connective tissue development. Defects in this gene are cause of an autosomal recessive cutis laxa syndrome. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been identified for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2011]

This variant is considered likely benign or benign based on one or more of the following criteria: it is a conservative change, it occurs at a poorly conserved position in the protein, it is predicted to be benign by multiple in silico algorithms, and/or has population frequency not consistent with disease. -

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This variant was observed in the ICSL laboratory as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. It had not been previously curated by ICSL or reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database (HGMD: prior to June 1st, 2018), and was therefore a candidate for classification through an automated scoring system. Utilizing variant allele frequency, disease prevalence and penetrance estimates, and inheritance mode, an automated score was calculated to assess if this variant is too frequent to cause the disease. Based on the score and internal cut-off values, a variant classified as benign is not then subjected to further curation. The score for this variant resulted in a classification of benign for this disease. -

Variant summary: The EFEMP2 c.276C>T (p.His92His) variant involves the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide, resulting in a synonymous change. One in silico tool predicts a polymorphism outcome for this variant. 5/5 splice prediction tools predict no significant impact on normal splicing. ESE finder predicts that this variant may affect binding of multiple ESE sites. However, these predictions have yet to be confirmed by functional studies. This variant was found in 54595/121254 control chromosomes (13690 homozygotes) from ExAC at a frequency of 0.4502532, which is approximately 4027 times the estimated maximal expected allele frequency of a pathogenic EFEMP2 variant (0.0001118), thus it is a common benign polymorphism. In addition, multiple clinical diagnostic laboratories (via ClinVar) have classified this variant as benign. Taken together, this variant is classified as benign. -

This alteration is classified as benign based on a combination of the following: seen in unaffected individuals, population frequency, intact protein function, lack of segregation with disease, co-occurrence, RNA analysis, in silico models, amino acid conservation, lack of disease association in case-control studies, and/or the mechanism of disease or impacted region is inconsistent with a known cause of pathogenicity. -
