Variant summary

Our verdict is Benign. The variant received -9 ACMG points: 0P and 9B. BP4_StrongBP6BS1

The NM_001291303.3(FAT4):​c.131A>C​(p.Glu44Ala) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.000449 in 1,613,986 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, including 2 homozygotes. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. 16/22 in silico tools predict a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity (no stars). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. E44D) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

Genes affected
FAT4 (HGNC:23109): (FAT atypical cadherin 4) The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the protocadherin family. This gene may play a role in regulating planar cell polarity (PCP). Studies in mice suggest that loss of PCP signaling may cause cystic kidney disease, and mutations in this gene have been associated with Van Maldergem Syndrome 2. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been noted for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2014]

Identified with a second variant in the FAT4 gene in addition to a variant in the DAB1 gene in a patient with ocular developmental anomalies in published literature (Chassaing et al., 2016); however, the variant was also seen in both asymptomatic parents and not believed to be the causative variant for that patient; In silico analysis, which includes protein predictors and evolutionary conservation, supports that this variant does not alter protein structure/function; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 26893459) -
