Genes affected

ZC4H2 (HGNC:24931): (zinc finger C4H2-type containing) This gene encodes a member of the zinc finger domain-containing protein family. This family member has a C-terminal zinc finger domain that is characterized by four cysteine residues and two histidine residues, and it also includes a coiled-coil region. This protein has been detected as an autoantigen in hepatocellular carcinoma patients. This gene has been identified as a potential candidate for X-linked cognitive disability. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2011]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Uncertain_significance. Variant got 5 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a hotspot region, there are 7 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 0 benign, 2 uncertain in NM_018684.4
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant X-64917841-C-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chrX-64917841-C-A is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 422398.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars. Variant chrX-64917841-C-A is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].
• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (MetaRNN=0.29977387). . Strength limited to SUPPORTING due to the PP5.

The C206F variant in the ZC4H2 gene has not been reported previously as a pathogenic variant, nor as a benign variant, to our knowledge. The C206F variant was not observed in approximately 6,500 individuals of European and African American ancestry in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, indicating it is not a common benign variant in these populations. The C206F variant is a non-conservative amino acid substitution, which is likely to impact secondary protein structure as these residues differ in polarity, charge, size and/or other properties. This substitution occurs at a position that is conserved across species. In silico analysis predicts this variant is probably damaging to the protein structure/function. As an alternate mechanism, some splice predictor models predict that c.617 G>T (aka C206F) may increase the strength of an existing splice acceptor site in intron 4 that is downstream of the natural splice acceptor site, which may cause abnormal gene splicing. However, in the absence of RNA/functional studies, the actual effect of c.617 G>T in this individual is unknown. The C206F variant is a strong candidate for a pathogenic variant. -
