Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 13 ACMG points: 13P and 0B. PM1PM2PM5PP2PP3_StrongPP5_Moderate
The NM_001083962.2(TCF4):c.1840G>C(p.Ala614Pro) 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 Likely pathogenic (★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. A614V) has been classified as 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]

PM2
Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage;
PM5
Other missense variant is known to change same aminoacid residue: Variant chr18-55228885-G-A is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].
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, 0.975
PP5
Variant 18-55228886-C-G is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr18-55228886-C-G is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 160081.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.
