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

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg821*) in the EPG5 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in EPG5 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 23222957, 23674064). This variant is present in population databases (rs759625169, gnomAD 0.005%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of Vici syndrome (PMID: 28615637). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 267454). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
