Genes affected
EPG5 (HGNC:29331): (ectopic P-granules 5 autophagy tethering factor) This gene encodes a large coiled coil domain-containing protein that functions in autophagy during starvation conditions. Mutations in this gene cause Vici syndrome. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2015]

Submissions by phenotype

Vici syndrome Pathogenic:2
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeNov 01, 2023This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg2445*) 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 (rs780889226, gnomAD 0.0009%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with Vici syndrome (PMID: 26917586). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 570218). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submittercurationSIB Swiss Institute of BioinformaticsJan 17, 2019This variant is interpreted as a Likely pathogenic for Vici syndrome, autosomal recessive. The following ACMG Tag(s) were applied: PM2 => Absent from controls (or at extremely low frequency if recessive) in Exome Sequencing Project, 1000 Genomes Project, or Exome Aggregation Consortium. PVS1-strong => PVS1 downgraded in strength to Strong. -
EPG5-related disorder Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingPreventionGenetics, part of Exact SciencesJan 02, 2024The EPG5 c.7333C>T variant is predicted to result in premature protein termination (p.Arg2445*). This variant has been reported in the apparently homozygous state in an individual with Vici syndrome (Table 1, Byrne S et al 2016. PubMed ID: 26917586). This variant is reported in 0.00088% of alleles in individuals of European (Non-Finnish) descent in gnomAD. Nonsense variants in EPG5 are expected to be pathogenic. This variant is interpreted as pathogenic. -
