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]

This sequence change replaces threonine, which is neutral and polar, with methionine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 280 of the GATA4 protein (p.Thr280Met). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with congenital heart disease (PMID: 20659440). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 30108). 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 expected to disrupt GATA4 protein function with a positive predictive value of 80%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects GATA4 function (PMID: 23626780). 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. -
