The NM_001083962.2(TCF4):c.1831C>G(p.Leu611Val) variant causes a missense change. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic (★).
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]
Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 11 ACMG points.
PM1
In a domain bHLH (size 53) in uniprot entity ITF2_HUMAN there are 24 pathogenic changes around while only 0 benign (100%) in NM_001083962.2
PM2
Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage;
PP2
Missense variant in the TCF4 gene, where missense mutations are typically associated with disease (based on misZ statistic). The gene has 42 curated pathogenic missense variants (we use a threshold of 10). The gene has 70 curated benign missense variants. Gene score misZ: 4.1035 (above the threshold of 3.09). Trascript score misZ: 4.5676 (above the threshold of 3.09). GenCC associations: The gene is linked to 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, 0.975
PP5
Variant 18-55228895-G-C is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr18-55228895-G-C is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 1199893.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.
Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method: clinical testing
Not observed in large population cohorts (Lek et al., 2016); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; Has not been previously published as pathogenic or benign to our knowledge -
