Genes affected

EPHA4 (HGNC:3388): (EPH receptor A4) This gene belongs to the ephrin receptor subfamily of the protein-tyrosine kinase family. EPH and EPH-related receptors have been implicated in mediating developmental events, particularly in the nervous system. Receptors in the EPH subfamily typically have a single kinase domain and an extracellular region containing a Cys-rich domain and 2 fibronectin type III repeats. The ephrin receptors are divided into 2 groups based on the similarity of their extracellular domain sequences and their affinities for binding ephrin-A and ephrin-B ligands. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2015]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Uncertain_significance. Variant got 2 ACMG points.

• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP2: Missense variant where missense usually causes diseases, EPHA4
• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (MetaRNN=0.35894567).

The c.2942G>T (p.G981V) alteration is located in exon 17 (coding exon 17) of the EPHA4 gene. This alteration results from a G to T substitution at nucleotide position 2942, causing the glycine (G) at amino acid position 981 to be replaced by a valine (V). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
