Variant summary
Our verdict is Likely benign. The variant received -2 ACMG points: 2P and 4B. PP3PP5BS2
The NM_004100.5(EYA4):c.1109G>A(p.Arg370His) variant causes a missense, splice region change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0000267 in 1,611,724 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. 15/24 in silico tools predict a damaging outcome for this variant. 2/3 splice prediction tools predicting alterations to normal splicing. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity (no stars). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. R370C) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

Autosomal dominant nonsyndromic hearing loss 10 Pathogenic:1
EYA4-related disorder Uncertain:1
The EYA4 c.1109G>A variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Arg370His. This variant was reported in an individual with hearing loss, although further evidence of pathogenicity was not presented (Truong et al. 2019. PubMed ID: 30828794). This variant is reported in 0.0065% of alleles in individuals of South Asian descent in gnomAD. At this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence.
not specified Uncertain:1

Dilated cardiomyopathy 1J Uncertain:1
This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with histidine, which is basic and polar, at codon 370 of the EYA4 protein (p.Arg370His). This variant is present in population databases (rs143936434, gnomAD 0.007%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with hearing loss (PMID: 30828794). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 163451). An algorithm developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (PolyPhen-2) suggests that this variant is likely to be disruptive. 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.
Cardiovascular phenotype Uncertain:1
The p.R370H variant (also known as c.1109G>A), located in coding exon 12 of the EYA4 gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 1109. The arginine at codon 370 is replaced by histidine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This variant was reported in an individual with hearing loss and cochlear implants (Truong BT et al. Clin Genet, 2019 May;95:634-636). This variant was also reported in an adult individual from a large cardiomyopathy cohort screened by whole genome sequencing (Akinrinade O et al. J Cardiovasc Transl Res, 2023 Dec;16:1287-1302). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Based on the available evidence, the clinical significance of this variant remains unclear.
