Genes affected

TCF12 (HGNC:11623): (transcription factor 12) The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) E-protein family that recognizes the consensus binding site (E-box) CANNTG. This encoded protein is expressed in many tissues, among them skeletal muscle, thymus, B- and T-cells, and may participate in regulating lineage-specific gene expression through the formation of heterodimers with other bHLH E-proteins. Several alternatively spliced transcript variants of this gene have been described, but the full-length nature of some of these variants has not been determined. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 10 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product does not undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. Variant located near the start codon (<100nt), not predicted to undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. There are 69 pathogenic variants in the truncated region.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage

Based on the classification scheme VCGS_Germline_v1.3.4, this variant is classified as VUS-3A. Following criteria are met: 0102 - Loss of function is a known mechanism of disease in this gene and is associated with TCF12-related conditions. (I) 0107 - This gene is associated with autosomal dominant disease. However, one affected homozygous individual has been reported (PMID:32629054). (I) 0112 - The condition associated with this gene has incomplete penetrance. Two families have been described where unaffected parents and their affected children both have the same TCF12 variant (PMID:32629054). (I) 0204 - Variant is predicted to result in a truncated protein (premature termination codon is located within the first 102 nucleotides of the coding sequence and is predicted to escape nonsense-mediated decay). (SP) 0251 - This variant is heterozygous. (I) 0301 - Variant is absent from gnomAD (both v2 and v3). (SP) 0705 - No comparable truncating variants have previous evidence for pathogenicity. (I) 0807 - This variant has no previous evidence of pathogenicity. (I) 0905 - No published segregation evidence has been identified for this variant. (I) 1007 - No published functional evidence has been identified for this variant. (I) 1208 - Inheritance information for this variant is not currently available in this individual. (I) Legend: (SP) - Supporting pathogenic, (I) - Information, (SB) - Supporting benign -
