Genes affected

GATA4 (HGNC:4173): (GATA binding protein 4) This gene encodes a member of the GATA family of zinc-finger transcription factors. Members of this family recognize the GATA motif which is present in the promoters of many genes. This protein is thought to regulate genes involved in embryogenesis and in myocardial differentiation and function, and is necessary for normal testicular development. Mutations in this gene have been associated with cardiac septal defects. Additionally, alterations in gene expression have been associated with several cancer types. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2015]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Likely_pathogenic. Variant got 7 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Splicing +-2 bp (donor or acceptor) variant, product NOT destroyed by NMD, known LOF gene, truncates exone, which is 0.124905944 fraction of the gene. Cryptic splice site detected, with MaxEntScore 5.1, offset of -3, new splice context is: gtctgttccccccaactcAGtgg. Cryptic site results in inframe 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
• PP5: Variant 8-11748917-A-G is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr8-11748917-A-G is described in ClinVar as [Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity]. Clinvar id is 472779.We mark this variant Likely_pathogenic, oryginal submissions are: {Uncertain_significance=1, Likely_pathogenic=1}.

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. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 472779). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with GATA4-related conditions. This variant is present in population databases (no rsID available, gnomAD 0.006%). This sequence change affects an acceptor splice site in intron 2 of the GATA4 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 GATA4 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 12845333, 15235040). -
