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]

Submissions by phenotype

Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease axonal type 2Z Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeJan 22, 2024This sequence change replaces proline, which is neutral and non-polar, with serine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 710 of the MORC2 protein (p.Pro710Ser). This variant is present in population databases (rs780648306, gnomAD 0.05%), and has an allele count higher than expected for a pathogenic variant. This missense change has been observed in individuals with clinical features of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (Invitae). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 542278). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt MORC2 protein function with a negative predictive value of 95%. 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. -
MORC2-related disorder Benign:1
Likely benign, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingPreventionGenetics, part of Exact SciencesAug 09, 2022This variant is classified as likely benign based on ACMG/AMP sequence variant interpretation guidelines (Richards et al. 2015 PMID: 25741868, with internal and published modifications). -
