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]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Likely_pathogenic. Variant got 6 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a region_of_interest Disordered (size 104) in uniprot entity ITF2_HUMAN there are 9 pathogenic changes around while only 0 benign (100%) in NM_001083962.2
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP2: Missense variant in gene, where missense usually causes diseases (based on misZ statistic), TCF4. . Gene score misZ 4.1035 (greater than the threshold 3.09). Trascript score misZ 4.5676 (greater than threshold 3.09). GenCC has associacion of gene with intellectual disability, corneal dystrophy, Fuchs endothelial, 3, autosomal dominant non-syndromic intellectual disability, autism spectrum disorder, Fuchs' endothelial dystrophy, Pitt-Hopkins syndrome.
• PP5: Variant 18-55234565-G-C is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr18-55234565-G-C is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 468947.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.
• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (MetaRNN=0.25764036). . Strength limited to SUPPORTING due to the PP5.

In summary, this variant is a novel de novo missense change observed in an affected individual which suggests it is pathogenic, however, in the absence of functional data, it has been classified as Likely Pathogenic.. 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: "Possibly Damaging"; Align-GVGD: "Class C0"). Family studies indicate this variant likely was not inherited from either parent (i.e. occurred de novo) in an individual with disease (Invitae database). This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency) and has not been reported in the literature in individuals with a TCF4-related disease. This sequence change replaces proline with arginine at codon 490 of the TCF4 protein (p.Pro490Arg). The proline residue is moderately conserved and there is a moderate physicochemical difference between proline and arginine. -
