Genes affected

EIF2AK4 (HGNC:19687): (eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2 alpha kinase 4) This gene encodes a member of a family of kinases that phosphorylate the alpha subunit of eukaryotic translation initiation factor-2 (EIF2), resulting in the downregulaton of protein synthesis. The encoded protein responds to amino acid deprivation by binding uncharged transfer RNAs. It may also be activated by glucose deprivation and viral infection. Mutations in this gene have been found in individuals suffering from autosomal recessive pulmonary venoocclusive-disease-2. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2014]

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg463*) in the EIF2AK4 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in EIF2AK4 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 12215525, 24135949, 24292273, 24310610, 28972005, 29743074). This variant is present in population databases (rs587777107, gnomAD 0.0009%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with pulmonary veno-occlusive disease and/or pulmonary arterial hypertension (PMID: 24292273, 29631995, 30679663, 36451176). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 97069). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
