Genes affected

HECW2 (HGNC:29853): (HECT, C2 and WW domain containing E3 ubiquitin protein ligase 2) This gene encodes a member of a family of E3 ubiquitin ligases which plays an important role in the proliferation, migration and differentiation of neural crest cells as a regulator of glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF)/Ret signaling. This gene also plays an important role in angiogenesis through stabilization of endothelial cell-to-cell junctions as a regulator of angiomotin-like 1 stability. The encoded protein contains an N-terminal calcium/lipid-binding (C2) domain involved in membrane targeting, two-four WW domains responsible for cellular localization and substrate recognition, and a C-terminal homologous with E6-associated protein C-terminus (HECT) catalytic domain. Naturally occurring mutations in this gene are associated with neurodevelopmental delay, hypotonia, and epilepsy. The decreased expression of this gene in the aganglionic colon is associated with Hirschsprung's disease. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2017]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Likely_pathogenic. Variant got 6 ACMG points.

• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP2: Missense variant in the HECW2 gene, where missense mutations are typically associated with disease (based on misZ statistic). The gene has 31 curated pathogenic missense variants (we use a threshold of 10). The gene has 62 curated benign missense variants. Gene score misZ: 3.3052 (above the threshold of 3.09). Trascript score misZ: 3.6429 (above the threshold of 3.09). GenCC associations: The gene is linked to neurodevelopmental disorder with hypotonia, seizures, and absent language, complex neurodevelopmental disorder.
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.871
• PP5: Variant 2-196242157-A-C is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr2-196242157-A-C is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 242324.Status of the report is no_assertion_criteria_provided, 0 stars. Variant chr2-196242157-A-C is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].
