Genes affected

BRD4 (HGNC:13575): (bromodomain containing 4) The protein encoded by this gene is homologous to the murine protein MCAP, which associates with chromosomes during mitosis, and to the human RING3 protein, a serine/threonine kinase. Each of these proteins contains two bromodomains, a conserved sequence motif which may be involved in chromatin targeting. This gene has been implicated as the chromosome 19 target of translocation t(15;19)(q13;p13.1), which defines an upper respiratory tract carcinoma in young people. Two alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 10 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Splicing +-2 bp (donor or acceptor) variant, LoF is a know mechanism of disease, Cryptic splice site detected, with MaxEntScore 3.4, offset of 17, new splice context is: ctgGTgggg. Cryptic site results in frameshift change. If cryptic site found is not functional and variant results in exon loss, it results in frameshift change.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage

The variant is not observed in the gnomAD v2.1.1 dataset. Predicted Consequence/Location: Canonical splice site: predicted to alter splicing and result in a loss or disruption of normal protein function. The predicted truncated protein may be shortened by less than 10%. Therefore, this variant is classified as VUS according to the recommendation of ACMG/AMP guideline. -
