Genes affected
HNF4A (HGNC:5024): (hepatocyte nuclear factor 4 alpha) The protein encoded by this gene is a nuclear transcription factor which binds DNA as a homodimer. The encoded protein controls the expression of several genes, including hepatocyte nuclear factor 1 alpha, a transcription factor which regulates the expression of several hepatic genes. This gene may play a role in development of the liver, kidney, and intestines. Mutations in this gene have been associated with monogenic autosomal dominant non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus type I. Alternative splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants encoding several different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2012]

ACMG classification

Classification made for transcript

Verdict is Benign. Variant got -7 ACMG points.

BP4
Computational evidence support a benign effect (BayesDel_noAF=-0.31).
BS1
Variant frequency is greater than expected in population sas. gnomad4 allele frequency = 0.00021 (32/152376) while in subpopulation SAS AF= 0.00497 (24/4826). AF 95% confidence interval is 0.00343. There are 0 homozygotes in gnomad4. There are 22 alleles in male gnomad4 subpopulation. Median coverage is 32. This position pass quality control queck. Existence of Clinvar submissions makes me limit the strength of this signal to Supporting
BS2
High AC in GnomAd4 at 32 AD gene.

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLabcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), LabcorpMay 21, 2023This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). 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. Studies have shown that this variant does not significantly alter or has an unclear effect on HNF4A gene expression (PMID: 12242469). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 1442643). This variant has been observed in individual(s) with HNF4A-related conditions, however it has also been observed in unaffected controls (PMID: 12242469, 21062274). This variant occurs in a non-coding region of the HNF4A gene. It does not change the encoded amino acid sequence of the HNF4A protein. -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingGeneDxMar 07, 2024Observed in two unrelated individuals in published literature with maturity onset diabetes of the young (MODY); however, the variant did not segregate completely with the condition in the family of one proband and familial segregation information was not provided for the other proband (PMID: 12242469, 21062274); In-silico analysis and one published study are inconclusive as to whether the variant alters gene function (PMID: 12242469). In the absence of additional RNA/functional studies, the actual effect of this sequence change is unknown.; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 12242469, 23014256, 21062274) -
