Genes affected
EYA4 (HGNC:3522): (EYA transcriptional coactivator and phosphatase 4) This gene encodes a member of the eyes absent (EYA) family of proteins. The encoded protein may act as a transcriptional activator through its protein phosphatase activity, and it may be important for eye development, and for continued function of the mature organ of Corti. Mutations in this gene are associated with postlingual, progressive, autosomal dominant hearing loss at the deafness, autosomal dominant non-syndromic sensorineural 10 locus. The encoded protein is also a putative oncogene that mediates DNA repair, apoptosis, and innate immunity following DNA damage, cellular damage, and viral attack. Defects in this gene are also associated with dilated cardiomyopathy 1J. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2014]

Variant summary: EYA4 c.979G>A (p.Asp327Asn) results in a conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function are either unavailable or do not agree on the potential impact of this missense change. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0005 in 250092 control chromosomes. The observed variant frequency is approximately 31.73 fold of the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in EYA4 causing Dilated Cardiomyopathy phenotype (1.6e-05). c.979G>A has been observed in individual(s) affected with Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy and Dilated Cardiomyopathy (Kostareva_2016, Akinrinade_2015). These report(s) do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Dilated Cardiomyopathy. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 26084686, 27662471). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 191664). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely benign.

Significance:Likely benign
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This alteration is classified as likely benign based on a combination of the following: seen in unaffected individuals, population frequency, intact protein function, lack of segregation with disease, co-occurrence, RNA analysis, in silico models, amino acid conservation, lack of disease association in case-control studies, and/or the mechanism of disease or impacted region is inconsistent with a known cause of pathogenicity.
