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]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Likely_benign. Variant got -6 ACMG points.

• PP2: Missense variant where missense usually causes diseases, MORC2
• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (MetaRNN=0.0928272).
• BS1: Variant frequency is greater than expected in population mid. gnomad4_exome allele frequency = 0.0000233 (34/1461494) while in subpopulation MID AF= 0.00052 (3/5768). AF 95% confidence interval is 0.000241. There are 0 homozygotes in gnomad4_exome. There are 23 alleles in male gnomad4_exome subpopulation. Median coverage is 31. This position pass quality control queck. Existence of Clinvar submissions makes me limit the strength of this signal to Supporting
• BS2: High AC in GnomAdExome at 14 AD gene.

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. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (SIFT, PolyPhen-2, Align-GVGD) all suggest that this variant is likely to be tolerated, but these predictions have not been confirmed by published functional studies and their clinical significance is uncertain. This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with MORC2-related disease. This variant is present in population databases (rs770774096, ExAC 0.05%). This sequence change replaces proline with threonine at codon 521 of the MORC2 protein (p.Pro521Thr). The proline residue is moderately conserved and there is a small physicochemical difference between proline and threonine. -
