Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 15 ACMG points: 15P and 0B. PS1_ModeratePM1PM2PM5PP2PP3_StrongPP5_Moderate
The NM_001083962.2(TCF4):c.1733G>C(p.Arg578Pro) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. 12/21 in silico tools predict a damaging outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic (★). Another nucleotide change resulting in the same amino acid substitution has been previously reported as Likely pathogenic in UniProt. Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. R578H) has been classified as Likely pathogenic.
TCF4 (HGNC:11634): (transcription factor 4) This gene encodes transcription factor 4, a basic helix-loop-helix transcription factor. The encoded protein recognizes an Ephrussi-box ('E-box') binding site ('CANNTG') - a motif first identified in immunoglobulin enhancers. This gene is broadly expressed, and may play an important role in nervous system development. Defects in this gene are a cause of Pitt-Hopkins syndrome. In addition, an intronic CTG repeat normally numbering 10-37 repeat units can expand to >50 repeat units and cause Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants that encode different proteins have been described. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2016]

PS1
Transcript NM_001083962.2 (TCF4) is affected with MISSENSE_VARIANT having same AA change as one Pathogenic present in UniProt
PM1
In a domain bHLH (size 53) in uniprot entity ITF2_HUMAN there are 24 pathogenic changes around while only 0 benign (100%) in NM_001083962.2
PM2
Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage;
PM5
Other missense variant is known to change same aminoacid residue: Variant chrnull-null-null-null is described in UniProt as null.
PP2
Missense variant in the TCF4 gene, where missense mutations are typically associated with disease (based on misZ statistic). The gene has 42 curated pathogenic missense variants (we use a threshold of 10). The gene has 70 curated benign missense variants. Gene score misZ: 4.1035 (above the threshold of 3.09). Trascript score misZ: 4.5676 (above the threshold of 3.09). GenCC associations: The gene is linked to intellectual disability, corneal dystrophy, Fuchs endothelial, 3, autosomal dominant non-syndromic intellectual disability, autism spectrum disorder, Fuchs' endothelial dystrophy, Pitt-Hopkins syndrome.
PP3
MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.982
PP5
Variant 18-55228993-C-G is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr18-55228993-C-G is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 7374.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars. Variant chr18-55228993-C-G is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].
