Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 15 ACMG points: 15P and 0B. PS1_Moderate PM1 PM2 PM5 PP2 PP3_Strong PP5_Moderate

The NM_001083962.2(TCF4):​c.1733G>C​(p.Arg578Pro) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. 12/21 in silico tools predict a damaging outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic (★). Another nucleotide change resulting in the same amino acid substitution has been previously reported as Likely pathogenic in UniProt. Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. R578H) has been classified as Likely pathogenic.

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 Pathogenic. Variant got 15 ACMG points.

• PS1: Transcript NM_001083962.2 (TCF4) is affected with MISSENSE_VARIANT having same AA change as one Pathogenic present in UniProt
• PM1: In a helix (size 29) in uniprot entity ITF2_HUMAN there are 22 pathogenic changes around while only 0 benign (100%) in NM_001083962.2
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PM5: Other missense variant is known to change same aminoacid residue: Variant chrnull-null-null-null is described in UniProt as null.
• 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). The gene has 42 curated pathogenic missense variants (we use a threshold of 10). The gene has 70 curated benign missense variants. GenCC has associacion of the gene with intellectual disability, corneal dystrophy, Fuchs endothelial, 3, autosomal dominant non-syndromic intellectual disability, autism spectrum disorder, Fuchs' endothelial dystrophy, Pitt-Hopkins syndrome.
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.982
• PP5: Variant 18-55228993-C-G is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr18-55228993-C-G is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 7374.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars. Variant chr18-55228993-C-G is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].
