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 12 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 20 pathogenic variants in the truncated region.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 15-56919972-TA-T is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr15-56919972-TA-T is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 817307.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.

A variant that is likely pathogenic has been identified in the TCF12 gene. The c.60delA variant causes a frameshift starting with codon Leucine 21, changes this amino acid to a Tryptophan residue and creates a premature Stop codon at position 66 of the new reading frame, denoted p.Leu21TrpfsX66. This variant is predicted to cause loss of normal protein function either through protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. The c.60delA variant is not observed in large population cohorts (Lek et al., 2016). Therefore, this variant is likely pathogenic; however, the possibility that it is benign cannot be excluded. -
