Genes affected

TFAP2A (HGNC:11742): (transcription factor AP-2 alpha) The protein encoded by this gene is a transcription factor that binds the consensus sequence 5'-GCCNNNGGC-3'. The encoded protein functions as either a homodimer or as a heterodimer with similar family members. This protein activates the transcription of some genes while inhibiting the transcription of others. Defects in this gene are a cause of branchiooculofacial syndrome (BOFS). Three transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.[provided by RefSeq, Dec 2009]

TFAP2A-AS2 (HGNC:52289): (TFAP2A antisense RNA 2) The product of this intronless gene is a capped lncRNA that is nuclear-enriched and associated with chromatin. The encoded transcript may be involved in the regulation of developmental gene expression in a context-dependent manner, functioning as a repressor in non-pluripotent cells and an activator in pluripotent cells. Transcription of this gene is activated in 8-cell human embryos during the major wave of zygotic genome activation, independently of and prior to the activation of TFAP2A, an overlapping gene found on the opposite strand. Expression of this gene is characterized by high cell-to-cell variability in the cells of totipotent human embryos and in stable cell lines. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2017]

This missense change has been observed in individuals with clinical features of branchiooculofacial syndrome (PMID: 21204207; Invitae). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. This sequence change replaces alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, with glutamic acid, which is acidic and polar, at codon 246 of the TFAP2A protein (p.Ala246Glu). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function are either unavailable or do not agree on the potential impact of this missense change (SIFT: "Deleterious"; PolyPhen-2: "Benign"; Align-GVGD: "Class C15"). Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects TFAP2A function (PMID: 23578821). In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. -
