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]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Benign. Variant got -8 ACMG points.

• BS1: Variant frequency is greater than expected in population afr. gnomad4 allele frequency = 0.0102 (1387/135498) while in subpopulation AFR AF= 0.0265 (996/37628). AF 95% confidence interval is 0.0251. There are 20 homozygotes in gnomad4. There are 671 alleles in male gnomad4 subpopulation. Median coverage is 0. This position pass quality control queck.
• BS2: High AC in GnomAd4 at 1387 AD gene.
