Variant summary

Our verdict is Uncertain significance. The variant received 3 ACMG points: 3P and 0B. PM2 PP3

The NM_001083962.2(TCF4):​c.1354G>C​(p.Gly452Arg) variant causes a missense change. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. No clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar. Another nucleotide change resulting in the same amino acid substitution has been previously reported as Uncertain significance in ClinVar. Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. G452G) has been classified as Likely benign. The gene TCF4 is included in the ClinGen Criteria Specification Registry.

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]
