RCV002789994 | SCV003761304 | likely pathogenic | Wiedemann-Steiner syndrome | 2023-01-25 | criteria provided, single submitter | curation | The heterozygous p.Pro3618ArgfsTer5 variant in KMT2A was identified by our study in one individual with short stature, autism, and dysmorphic features. Trio exome analysis showed this variant to be de novo. The p.Pro3618ArgfsTer5 variant in KMT2A has not been previously reported in individuals with Wiedemann-Steiner syndrome. This variant was absent from large population studies. This variant is predicted to cause a frameshift, which alters the protein’s amino acid sequence beginning at position 3618 and leads to a premature termination codon 5 amino acids downstream. This alteration is then predicted to lead to a truncated or absent protein. Heterozygous loss of function of the KM2TA gene is strongly associated to autosomal dominant Wiedemann-Steiner syndrome. In summary, although additional studies are required to fully establish its clinical significance, this variant is likely pathogenic for autosomal dominant Wiedemann-Steiner syndrome.
