Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 15 ACMG points: 15P and 0B. PM2PM5PP2PP3_ModeratePP5_Very_Strong

The NM_001375380.1(EBF3):​c.625C>T​(p.Arg209Trp) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Likely pathogenic (★★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. R209Q) has been classified as Likely pathogenic.

Genes affected
EBF3 (HGNC:19087): (EBF transcription factor 3) This gene encodes a member of the early B-cell factor (EBF) family of DNA binding transcription factors. EBF proteins are involved in B-cell differentiation, bone development and neurogenesis, and may also function as tumor suppressors. The encoded protein inhibits cell survival through the regulation of genes involved in cell cycle arrest and apoptosis, and aberrant methylation or deletion of this gene may play a role in multiple malignancies including glioblastoma multiforme and gastric carcinoma.

EBF3 Gene-Disease associations (from GenCC):
  • hypotonia, ataxia, and delayed development syndrome

ACMG classification

Classification was made for transcript

Our verdict: Pathogenic. The variant received 15 ACMG points.

PM2
Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage;
PM5
Other missense variant is known to change same aminoacid residue: Variant chr10-129877778-C-T is described in ClinVar as Pathogenic/Likely_pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 430930.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.
PP2
Missense variant in the EBF3 gene, where missense mutations are typically associated with disease (based on misZ statistic). The gene has 40 curated pathogenic missense variants (we use a threshold of 10). The gene has 6 curated benign missense variants. Gene score misZ: 3.6113 (above the threshold of 3.09). Trascript score misZ: 3.1409 (above the threshold of 3.09). GenCC associations: The gene is linked to hypotonia, ataxia, and delayed development syndrome.
PP3
MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.874
PP5
Variant 10-129877779-G-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr10-129877779-G-A is described in ClinVar as Pathogenic/Likely_pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 375494.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

Published functional studies suggest a damaging effect as R209W results in mislocalization of the EBF3 protein and impaired association with chromatin (Harms et al., 2016); Not observed in large population cohorts (gnomAD); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 34050706, 32637629, 28017373)

DNA sequence analysis of the EBF3 gene demonstrated a sequence change, c.625C>T, in exon 7 that results in an amino acid change, p.Arg209Trp. This is a novel sequence change that is not present in the population databases (ExAC, gnomAD). The p.Arg209Trp change affects a highly conserved amino acid residue located in the DNA-binding domain of the EBF3 protein where all other missense pathogenic variants have been described to date. The p.Arg209Trp substitution appears to be possibly damaging using several in-silico pathogenicity prediction tools (SIFT, PolyPhen2, Align GVGD, REVEL). This variant has previously been described in two symptomatic siblings with ataxia, ID, speech delay, motor developmental delay, seizures where functional studies were performed that demonstrated a likely defect in protein function (Harms et al.,2017). This sequence change is the likely cause of this phenotype, however functional studies have not been performed to prove this conclusively.
