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, no assertion criteria providedliterature onlyOMIMFeb 01, 2014- -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingARUP Laboratories, Molecular Genetics and Genomics, ARUP LaboratoriesSep 07, 2019The EIF2AK4 c.3766C>T; p.Arg1256Ter variant (rs587777207) is reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with pulmonary capillary hemangiomatosis (Best 2014, Zhu 2018). In one family, this variant was observed in trans to a second pathogenic variant in two affected brothers and was absent from an unaffected sister, demonstrating co-segregation with disease (Best 2014). The p.Arg1256Ter variant is found in the non-Finnish European population with an overall allele frequency of 0.02% (21/113166 alleles) in the Genome Aggregation Database. This variant induces an early termination codon and is predicted to result in a truncated protein or mRNA subject to nonsense-mediated decay. Based on available information, this variant is considered to be pathogenic. References: Best DH et al. EIF2AK4 mutations in pulmonary capillary hemangiomatosis. Chest. 2014 Feb;145(2):231-236.

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeJul 13, 2021This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg1256*) in the EIF2AK4 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in EIF2AK4 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 12215525, 24135949, 24292273, 24310610, 28972005, 29743074). This variant is present in population databases (rs587777207, ExAC 0.03%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with pulmonary capillary hemangiomatosis (PMID: 24135949). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 101528). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
