Genes affected

ELP4 (HGNC:1171): (elongator acetyltransferase complex subunit 4) This gene encodes a component of the six subunit elongator complex, a histone acetyltransferase complex that associates directly with RNA polymerase II during transcriptional elongation. The human gene can partially complement sensitivity phenotypes of yeast ELP4 deletion mutants. This gene has also been associated with Rolandic epilepsy. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2013]

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The c.494A>C (p.Q165P) alteration is located in exon 4 (coding exon 4) of the ELP4 gene. This alteration results from a A to C substitution at nucleotide position 494, causing the glutamine (Q) at amino acid position 165 to be replaced by a proline (P). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change replaces glutamine, which is neutral and polar, with proline, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 165 of the ELP4 protein (p.Gln165Pro). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with ELP4-related conditions. An algorithm developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (PolyPhen-2) suggests that this variant is likely to be disruptive. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
