Our verdict is Likely benign. The variant received -2 ACMG points: 2P and 4B. PM2BP4_ModerateBP6_Moderate
The NM_001083962.2(TCF4):c.571A>G(p.Thr191Ala) variant causes a missense change. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.000000684 in 1,461,686 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Benign (★). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. T191T) has been classified as Uncertain significance.
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]
