Variant summary

Our verdict is Benign. The variant received -8 ACMG points: 0P and 8B. BS2BS1

This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: The highest population minor allele frequency of the p.Gly428Val variant in TCF4 in gnomAD v4.1 is 0.0001001 in the Admixed American population, which is higher than the ClinGen Rett and Angelman-like Disorders VCEP threshold (≥0.00008) for BS1, and therefore meets this criterion (BS1). The p.Gly428Val variant is observed in at least 2 unaffected individuals (internal database - Ambry Genetics) (BS2). In summary, the p.Gly428Val variant in TCF4 is classified as benign based on the ACMG/AMP criteria (BS1, BS2).

Genes affected

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]

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. -
