Genes affected

CTCF (HGNC:13723): (CCCTC-binding factor) This gene is a member of the BORIS + CTCF gene family and encodes a transcriptional regulator protein with 11 highly conserved zinc finger (ZF) domains. This nuclear protein is able to use different combinations of the ZF domains to bind different DNA target sequences and proteins. Depending upon the context of the site, the protein can bind a histone acetyltransferase (HAT)-containing complex and function as a transcriptional activator or bind a histone deacetylase (HDAC)-containing complex and function as a transcriptional repressor. If the protein is bound to a transcriptional insulator element, it can block communication between enhancers and upstream promoters, thereby regulating imprinted expression. Mutations in this gene have been associated with invasive breast cancers, prostate cancers, and Wilms' tumors. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2010]

CTCF (HGNC:):

ACMG classification

Verdict is Likely_pathogenic. Variant got 6 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Splicing +-2 bp (donor or acceptor) variant, product NOT destroyed by NMD, known LOF gene, truncates exone, which is 0.07783883 fraction of the gene. Cryptic splice site detected, with MaxEntScore 4.6, offset of -27, new splice context is: aacactttgaaactctgcAGcaa. Cryptic site results in inframe change. If cryptic site found is not functional and variant results in exon loss, it results in inframe change.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 16-67611949-A-T is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr16-67611949-A-T is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 3378409.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.

This variant was detected in multiple affected family members (two brothers and their mother) with variable phenotypic abnormalities, including intestinal abnormalities, kidney malfunction, visual abnormalities, intellectual impairment and behavioral abnormalities. The relevant medical/scientific publications report on families with transmission of causative loss-of-function CTCF gene variants, including variants affecting the canonical sequence of splice donor or acceptor sites. They provide an evidence of incomplete penetrance and variable expressivity of related phenotypic features (PMID:23746550;31239556). The loss-of-function variants affecting the CTCF gene are well documented as a molecular cause of "autosomal dominant intellectual developmental disorder-21" (OMIM:615502). To conclude, the variant is classified as pathogenic (ACMG PVS1, PM2, PP1). -
