Genes affected
TAF4 (HGNC:11537): (TATA-box binding protein associated factor 4) Initiation of transcription by RNA polymerase II requires the activities of more than 70 polypeptides. The protein that coordinates these activities is transcription factor IID (TFIID), which binds to the core promoter to position the polymerase properly, serves as the scaffold for assembly of the remainder of the transcription complex, and acts as a channel for regulatory signals. TFIID is composed of the TATA-binding protein (TBP) and a group of evolutionarily conserved proteins known as TBP-associated factors or TAFs. TAFs may participate in basal transcription, serve as coactivators, function in promoter recognition or modify general transcription factors (GTFs) to facilitate complex assembly and transcription initiation. This gene encodes one of the larger subunits of TFIID that has been shown to potentiate transcriptional activation by retinoic acid, thyroid hormone and vitamin D3 receptors. In addition, this subunit interacts with the transcription factor CREB, which has a glutamine-rich activation domain, and binds to other proteins containing glutamine-rich regions. Aberrant binding to this subunit by proteins with expanded polyglutamine regions has been suggested as one of the pathogenetic mechanisms underlying a group of neurodegenerative disorders referred to as polyglutamine diseases.

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | Ambry Genetics | Jan 18, 2024 | The c.3134dupG (p.T1046Nfs*25) alteration, located in exon 15 (coding exon 15) of the TAF4 gene, consists of a duplication of G at position 3134, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon after 25 amino acids. This alteration occurs at the 3' terminus of the TAF4 gene, is not expected to trigger nonsense-mediated mRNA decay, and only impacts the last 3.6% of the protein. The exact functional effect of this alteration is unknown. This variant was not reported in population-based cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. - |
