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]

Dilated cardiomyopathy 1J Uncertain:2
Jan 22, 2025
Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp
Significance: Uncertain significance
Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change replaces methionine, which is neutral and non-polar, with isoleucine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 329 of the EYA4 protein (p.Met329Ile). This variant is present in population databases (rs146144708, gnomAD 0.05%), and has an allele count higher than expected for a pathogenic variant. This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with EYA4-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 239632). 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 tolerated. 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. -

Illumina Laboratory Services, Illumina
Significance: Uncertain significance
Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method: clinical testing

This variant was observed in the ICSL laboratory as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. It had not been previously curated by ICSL or reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database (HGMD: prior to June 1st, 2018), and was therefore a candidate for classification through an automated scoring system. Utilizing variant allele frequency, disease prevalence and penetrance estimates, and inheritance mode, an automated score was calculated to assess if this variant is too frequent to cause the disease. Based on the score, this variant could not be ruled out of causing disease and therefore its association with disease required further investigation. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (if applicable). No publications were found based on this search. This variant was therefore classified as a variant of unknown significance for this disease. -

The p.Met329Ile variant in EYA4 is classified as likely benign because it has be en identified in 0.056% (20/35430) of Latino chromosomes by gnomAD (http://gnoma d.broadinstitute.org) and computational prediction tools and conservation analys is suggest that the p.Met329Ile variant may not impact the protein.

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

Variant summary: EYA4 c.987G>T (p.Met329Ile) results in a conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00029 in 250326 control chromosomes in gnomAD. The observed variant frequency is approximately 18.41 fold of the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in EYA4 causing Dilated Cardiomyopathy phenotype (1.6e-05), strongly suggesting that the variant is benign. To our knowledge, no occurrence of c.987G>T in individuals affected with Dilated Cardiomyopathy and no experimental evidence demonstrating its impact on protein function have been reported. Five submitters have cited clinical-significance assessments (VUS: 3; Likely benign: 2) for this variant to ClinVar after 2014. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely benign. -

Ambry Genetics
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. -
