Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 11 ACMG points: 11P and 0B. PVS1PP3PP5_Moderate
The NM_001083962.2(TCF4):c.919_922+2delinsGTCCC variant causes a splice donor, coding sequence change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. 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.
PVS1
?
PVS1 - null variant (nonsense, frameshift, canonical ±1 or 2 splice sites, initiation codon, single or multiexon deletion) in a gene where LOF is a known mechanism of disease
Splicing variant, LoF is a know mechanism of disease, No cryptic splice site detected. Exon removal results in frameshift change.
PP3
?
PP3 - Multiple lines of computational evidence support a deleterious effect on the gene or gene product (conservation, evolutionary, splicing impact, etc.)
No computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, but strongly conserved according to phyloP
PP5
?
PP5 - Reputable source recently reports variant as pathogenic, but the evidence is not available to the laboratory to perform an independent evaluation
