Variant summary

Our verdict is Benign. Variant got -8 ACMG points: 2P and 10B. PM2 BP4_Moderate BP6_Very_Strong

The NM_001083962.2(TCF4):c.656-3C>T variant causes a splice region, splice polypyrimidine tract, intron change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000274 in 1,461,454 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. 2/3 splice prediction tools predict no significant impact on normal splicing. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Likely benign (★★).

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]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Benign. Variant got -8 ACMG points.

• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (BayesDel_noAF=-0.26).
• BP6: Variant 18-55275755-G-A is Benign according to our data. Variant chr18-55275755-G-A is described in ClinVar as [Likely_benign]. Clinvar id is 160088.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

Likely benign, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Genetic Services Laboratory, University of Chicago	Oct 14, 2013	- -
Likely benign, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	GeneDx	May 04, 2017	This variant is considered likely benign or benign based on one or more of the following criteria: it is a conservative change, it occurs at a poorly conserved position in the protein, it is predicted to be benign by multiple in silico algorithms, and/or has population frequency not consistent with disease. -
