Variant summary

Our verdict is Benign. Variant got -14 ACMG points: 0P and 14B. BS2BA1BP4BP5

This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: The highest population minor allele frequency of the p.Ala664Thr variant in TCF4 in gnomAD v4.1 is 0.007675 in the Amish population, which is higher than the ClinGen Rett and Angelman-like Disorders VCEP threshold (≥0.0003) for BA1, and therefore meets this criterion (BA1). The p.Ala664Thr variant is observed in at least 2 unaffected individuals (internal database - GeneDx) (BS2). Computational analysis prediction tools suggest that the p.Ala664Thr variant does not have a deleterious impact; however this information does not predict clinical significance on its own (BP4). The p.Ala664Thr variant is found in a patient with an alternate molecular basis of disease (internal database - GeneDx) (BP5). In summary, the p.Ala664Thr variant in TCF4 is classified as benign based on the ACMG/AMP criteria (BA1, BS2, BP4, BP5).

Genes affected
TCF4 (HGNC:11634): (transcription factor 4) This gene encodes transcription factor 4, a basic helix-loop-helix transcription factor. The encoded protein recognizes an Ephrussi-box ('E-box') binding site ('CANNTG') - a motif first identified in immunoglobulin enhancers. This gene is broadly expressed, and may play an important role in nervous system development. Defects in this gene are a cause of Pitt-Hopkins syndrome. In addition, an intronic CTG repeat normally numbering 10-37 repeat units can expand to >50 repeat units and cause Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants that encode different proteins have been described. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2016]

Pitt-Hopkins syndrome Uncertain:1Benign:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLabcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), LabcorpJan 04, 2024This sequence change replaces alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, with threonine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 664 of the TCF4 protein (p.Ala664Thr). This variant is present in population databases (rs755332116, gnomAD 0.002%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with TCF4-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 207527). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt TCF4 protein function with a negative predictive value of 95%. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -

not specified Benign:1
Likely benign, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingGeneDxOct 09, 2014This variant is considered likely benign or benign based on one or more of the following criteria: it is a conservative change, it occurs at a poorly conserved position in the protein, it is predicted to be benign by multiple in silico algorithms, and/or has population frequency not consistent with disease. -
