Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely benign. Variant got -1 ACMG points: 2P and 3B. PM2 BP4_Moderate BP7

The NM_001303256.3(MORC2):c.3015G>T(p.Leu1005=) variant causes a synonymous change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.000000684 in 1,461,222 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. No clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar. Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. L1005L) has been classified as Likely benign.

Genes affected

MORC2 (HGNC:23573): (MORC family CW-type zinc finger 2) This gene encodes a member of the Microrchidia (MORC) protein superfamily. The encoded protein is known to regulate the condensation of heterochromatin in response to DNA damage and play a role in repressing transcription. The protein has been found to regulate the activity of ATP citrate lyase via specific interaction with this enzyme in the cytosol of lipogenic breast cancer cells. The protein also plays a role in lipogenesis and adipocyte differentiation. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2016]

MORC2-AS1 (HGNC:26662): (MORC2 antisense RNA 1)

ACMG classification

Verdict is Likely_benign. Variant got -1 ACMG points.

• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (BayesDel_noAF=-0.29).
• BP7: Synonymous conserved (PhyloP=0.14 with no splicing effect.
