Our verdict is Uncertain significance. Variant got 2 ACMG points: 3P and 1B. PM2PP2BP4
The NM_001083962.2(TCF4):c.256G>A(p.Gly86Arg) variant causes a missense change. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (no stars).
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]
Verdict is Uncertain_significance. Variant got 2 ACMG points.
PM2
Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage;
PP2
Missense variant in the TCF4 gene, where missense mutations are typically associated with disease (based on misZ statistic). The gene has 42 curated pathogenic missense variants (we use a threshold of 10). The gene has 70 curated benign missense variants. Gene score misZ: 4.1035 (above the threshold of 3.09). Trascript score misZ: 4.5676 (above the threshold of 3.09). GenCC associations: The gene is linked to intellectual disability, corneal dystrophy, Fuchs endothelial, 3, autosomal dominant non-syndromic intellectual disability, autism spectrum disorder, Fuchs' endothelial dystrophy, Pitt-Hopkins syndrome.
BP4
Computational evidence support a benign effect (MetaRNN=0.33390695).
The TCF4 c.256G>A variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Gly86Arg. To our knowledge, this variant has not been reported in the literature or in a large population database, indicating this variant is rare. At this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -
