Our verdict is Uncertain significance. Variant got 0 ACMG points: 3P and 3B. PM2PP2BP4BP6_Moderate
The NM_001083962.2(TCF4):c.726G>T(p.Leu242Phe) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000186 in 1,613,780 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Likely benign (★).
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]
Verdict is Uncertain_significance. Variant got 0 ACMG points.
PM2
Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage;
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.
BP4
Computational evidence support a benign effect (MetaRNN=0.3966272).
BP6
Variant 18-55275682-C-A is Benign according to our data. Variant chr18-55275682-C-A is described in ClinVar as [Likely_benign]. Clinvar id is 380236.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.
Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method: clinical testing
This variant is considered likely benign or benign based on one or more of the following criteria: it is a conservative change, it occurs at a poorly conserved position in the protein, it is predicted to be benign by multiple in silico algorithms, and/or has population frequency not consistent with disease. -
