Variant summary

Our verdict is Uncertain significance. Variant got 0 ACMG points: 2P and 2B. PM2 BP4_Moderate

The NM_001291303.3(FAT4):c.132G>C(p.Glu44Asp) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000248 in 1,613,894 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. 15/21 in silico tools predict a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. E44A) has been classified as Likely benign.

Genes affected

FAT4 (HGNC:23109): (FAT atypical cadherin 4) The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the protocadherin family. This gene may play a role in regulating planar cell polarity (PCP). Studies in mice suggest that loss of PCP signaling may cause cystic kidney disease, and mutations in this gene have been associated with Van Maldergem Syndrome 2. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been noted for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2014]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Uncertain_significance. Variant got 0 ACMG points.

• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (MetaRNN=0.06856677).

The c.132G>C (p.E44D) alteration is located in exon 1 (coding exon 1) of the FAT4 gene. This alteration results from a G to C substitution at nucleotide position 132, causing the glutamic acid (E) at amino acid position 44 to be replaced by an aspartic acid (D). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

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. 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 FAT4 protein function. This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with FAT4-related conditions. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This sequence change replaces glutamic acid with aspartic acid at codon 44 of the FAT4 protein (p.Glu44Asp). The glutamic acid residue is highly conserved and there is a small physicochemical difference between glutamic acid and aspartic acid. -
