Genes affected
EHMT1 (HGNC:24650): (euchromatic histone lysine methyltransferase 1) The protein encoded by this gene is a histone methyltransferase that methylates the lysine-9 position of histone H3. This action marks the genomic region packaged with these methylated histones for transcriptional repression. This protein may be involved in the silencing of MYC- and E2F-responsive genes and therefore could play a role in the G0/G1 cell cycle transition. Defects in this gene are a cause of chromosome 9q subtelomeric deletion syndrome (9q-syndrome, also known as Kleefstra syndrome). Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

Submissions by phenotype

Kleefstra syndrome 1 Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeNov 21, 2017This sequence change falls in intron 23 of the EHMT1 gene. It does not directly change the encoded amino acid sequence of the EHMT1 protein, but it affects a nucleotide within the consensus splice site of the intron. This variant is present in population databases (rs759589106, ExAC 0.02%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with EHMT1-related disease. Nucleotide substitutions within the consensus splice site are a relatively common cause of aberrant splicing (PMID: 17576681, 9536098). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant is not likely to affect RNA splicing, but this prediction has not been confirmed by published transcriptional studies. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
