Variant summary

Our verdict is Uncertain significance. The variant received 3 ACMG points: 8P and 5B. PP5_Very_StrongBS1_SupportingBS2

The ENST00000585474.5(TXNL4A):​c.-60-10913_-60-10880delCTAGCGCGCGCGCATGCCGTCAGCACGCACGGCG variant causes a intron change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00418 in 516,266 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, including 9 homozygotes. It is difficult to determine the true allele frequency of this variant because it is of type DEL_BIG, and the frequency of such variant types in population databases may be underestimated and unreliable. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Likely pathogenic (★★).

Genes affected
TXNL4A (HGNC:30551): (thioredoxin like 4A) The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the U5 small ribonucleoprotein particle (snRNP), and is involved in pre-mRNA splicing. This protein contains a thioredoxin-like fold and it is expected to interact with multiple proteins. Protein-protein interactions have been observed with the polyglutamine tract-binding protein 1 (PQBP1). Mutations in both the coding region and promoter region of this gene have been associated with Burn-McKeown syndrome, which is a rare disorder characterized by craniofacial dysmorphisms, cardiac defects, hearing loss, and bilateral choanal atresia. A pseudogene of this gene is found on chromosome 2. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2015]

Variant summary: TXNL4A c.-222_-189del34 is a deletion in the promoter region. 4/4 computational tools predict no significant impact on normal splicing. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0036 in 31196 control chromosomes. This frequency is not significantly higher than expected for a pathogenic variant in TXNL4A causing Choanal Atresia-Hearing Loss-Cardiac Defects-Craniofacial Dysmorphism Syndrome (0.0036 vs ND), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. c.-222_-189del34 has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Choanal Atresia-Hearing Loss-Cardiac Defects-Craniofacial Dysmorphism Syndrome. These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. At least one publication reports experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function and showed that this deletion resulted in a decrease of TXNL4A expression to about 40% of wild type. Four clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation (pathogenic/likely pathogenic n=3, VUS n=1). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
