Genes affected

MEF2C (HGNC:6996): (myocyte enhancer factor 2C) This locus encodes a member of the MADS box transcription enhancer factor 2 (MEF2) family of proteins, which play a role in myogenesis. The encoded protein, MEF2 polypeptide C, has both trans-activating and DNA binding activities. This protein may play a role in maintaining the differentiated state of muscle cells. Mutations and deletions at this locus have been associated with severe cognitive disability, stereotypic movements, epilepsy, and cerebral malformation. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2010]

MEF2C-AS2 (HGNC:53115): (MEF2C antisense RNA 2)

ACMG classification

Verdict is Benign. Variant got -19 ACMG points.

• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (BayesDel_noAF=-0.45).
• BP6: Variant 5-88731897-G-A is Benign according to our data. Variant chr5-88731897-G-A is described in ClinVar as [Likely_benign]. Clinvar id is 138203.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.
• BP7: Synonymous conserved (PhyloP=0.185 with no splicing effect.
• BS1: Variant frequency is greater than expected in population eas. gnomad4 allele frequency = 0.000184 (28/152168) while in subpopulation EAS AF= 0.00464 (24/5176). AF 95% confidence interval is 0.0032. There are 0 homozygotes in gnomad4. There are 16 alleles in male gnomad4 subpopulation. Median coverage is 32. This position pass quality control queck.
• BS2: High AC in GnomAd at 27 AD gene.

This alteration is classified as likely benign based on a combination of the following: seen in unaffected individuals, population frequency, intact protein function, lack of segregation with disease, co-occurrence, RNA analysis, in silico models, amino acid conservation, lack of disease association in case-control studies, and/or the mechanism of disease or impacted region is inconsistent with a known cause of pathogenicity. -
