Genes affected
EIF2AK4 (HGNC:19687): (eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2 alpha kinase 4) This gene encodes a member of a family of kinases that phosphorylate the alpha subunit of eukaryotic translation initiation factor-2 (EIF2), resulting in the downregulaton of protein synthesis. The encoded protein responds to amino acid deprivation by binding uncharged transfer RNAs. It may also be activated by glucose deprivation and viral infection. Mutations in this gene have been found in individuals suffering from autosomal recessive pulmonary venoocclusive-disease-2. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2014]

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingJohns Hopkins Genomics, Johns Hopkins UniversitySep 14, 2022This EIF2AK4 variant has been reported in individuals and families with pulmonary venoocclusive disease or pulmonary capillary hemangiomatosis. The variant (rs587777102) is rare (<0.1%) in a large population dataset (gnomAD v3.1.2: 8/152172 total alleles; 0.00526%; no homozygotes). It has been reported in ClinVar (Variation ID 97064). This frameshift variant results in a premature stop codon in exon 9 of 39, likely leading to nonsense-mediated decay and lack of protein production. We consider c.1392delT in EIF2AK4 to be pathogenic. -
