Genes affected
HSF4 (HGNC:5227): (heat shock transcription factor 4) Heat-shock transcription factors (HSFs) activate heat-shock response genes under conditions of heat or other stresses. HSF4 lacks the carboxyl-terminal hydrophobic repeat which is shared among all vertebrate HSFs and has been suggested to be involved in the negative regulation of DNA binding activity. Two alternatively spliced transcripts encoding distinct isoforms and possessing different transcriptional activity have been described. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

ACMG classification

Classification made for transcript

Verdict is Likely_benign. Variant got -3 ACMG points.

BP4
Computational evidence support a benign effect (MetaRNN=0.11464414).
BS2
High AC in GnomAd4 at 7 AD gene. Variant has AC lower than other variant known as pathogenic in the gene, so the strength is limited to Supporting.

Submissions by phenotype

Cataract 5 multiple types Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeJun 27, 2017This sequence change replaces glutamic acid with glycine at codon 3 of the HSF4 protein (p.Glu3Gly). The glutamic acid residue is moderately conserved and there is a moderate physicochemical difference between glutamic acid and glycine. This variant is present in population databases (rs753084587, ExAC 0.07%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with an HSF4-related disease. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function do not agree on the potential impact of this missense change (SIFT: "Tolerated"; PolyPhen-2: "Probably Damaging"; Align-GVGD: "Class C0"). In summary, this variant has uncertain impact on HSF4 function. The available evidence is currently insufficient to determine its role in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
