Genes affected

PLCD4 (HGNC:9062): (phospholipase C delta 4) This gene encodes a member of the delta class of phospholipase C enzymes. Phospholipase C enzymes play a critical role in many cellular processes by hydrolyzing phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate into two intracellular second messengers, inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate and diacylglycerol. Expression of this gene may be a marker for cancer. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2011]

ACMG classification

Our verdict: Uncertain_significance. The variant received 2 ACMG points.

• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage

Collection Method: clinical testing

The c.517G>A (p.E173K) alteration is located in exon 5 (coding exon 4) of the PLCD4 gene. This alteration results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 517, causing the glutamic acid (E) at amino acid position 173 to be replaced by a lysine (K). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
