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]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Benign. Variant got -15 ACMG points.

• PP3: No computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, but strongly conserved according to phyloP
• BP6: Variant 15-39976797-G-GGACGAC is Benign according to our data. Variant chr15-39976797-G-GGACGAC is described in ClinVar as [Benign]. Clinvar id is 402821.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.
• BA1: GnomAd4 highest subpopulation (SAS) allele frequency at 95% confidence interval = 0.214 is higher than 0.05.
