Genes affected

SFRP4 (HGNC:10778): (secreted frizzled related protein 4) Secreted frizzled-related protein 4 (SFRP4) is a member of the SFRP family that contains a cysteine-rich domain homologous to the putative Wnt-binding site of Frizzled proteins. SFRPs act as soluble modulators of Wnt signaling. The expression of SFRP4 in ventricular myocardium correlates with apoptosis related gene expression. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 16 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Splicing variant, LoF is a know mechanism of disease, Cryptic splice site detected, with MaxEntScore 3.9, offset of 1, new splice context is: taagataattttttttcaAGatg. Cryptic site results in frameshift change. If cryptic site found is not functional and variant results in exon loss, it results in frameshift change.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP3: Splicing scoreres supports a deletorius effect: Scorers claiming Pathogenic: dbscSNV1_ADA, dbscSNV1_RF, max_spliceai. No scorers claiming Uncertain. No scorers claiming Benign.
• PP5: Variant 7-37909681-C-T is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr7-37909681-C-T is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 2860973.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.

This sequence change affects an acceptor splice site in intron 4 of the SFRP4 gene. It is expected to disrupt RNA splicing. Variants that disrupt the donor or acceptor splice site typically lead to a loss of protein function (PMID: 16199547), and loss-of-function variants in SFRP4 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 27355534). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with SFRP4-related conditions. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. 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. -
