Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 11 ACMG points: 11P and 0B. PS3_Supporting PP3 PP4 PM6_Strong PS4_Supporting PM2_Supporting PM1

This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: The p.Arg580Trp variant in TCF4 has been reported in at least 2 de novo occurrences (biological parentage unconfirmed) in individuals with Pitt-Hopkins syndrome (PMID 17436254, 22045651) (PM6_strong, PS4_supporting, PP4). The p.Arg580Trp in TCF4 is absent from gnomAD (PM2_supporting). The p.Arg580Trp variant occurs in the well-characterized basic Helix-Loop-Helix domain of TCF4 (PM1). In vitro binding assays have shown that this variant impacts protein function (PMID 22460224) (PS3_supporting). Computational prediction analysis tools suggests a deleterious impact; however, this information does not predict clinical significance on its own (PP3). In summary, the p.Arg580Trp variant in TCF4 is classified as Pathogenic for Pitt-Hopkins syndrome based on the ACMG/AMP criteria (PM6_strong, PM1, PM2_supporting, PS4_supporting, PP3, PP4).

Genes affected

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]
