Genes affected

EYA4 (HGNC:3522): (EYA transcriptional coactivator and phosphatase 4) This gene encodes a member of the eyes absent (EYA) family of proteins. The encoded protein may act as a transcriptional activator through its protein phosphatase activity, and it may be important for eye development, and for continued function of the mature organ of Corti. Mutations in this gene are associated with postlingual, progressive, autosomal dominant hearing loss at the deafness, autosomal dominant non-syndromic sensorineural 10 locus. The encoded protein is also a putative oncogene that mediates DNA repair, apoptosis, and innate immunity following DNA damage, cellular damage, and viral attack. Defects in this gene are also associated with dilated cardiomyopathy 1J. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2014]

TARID (HGNC:):

ACMG classification

Verdict is Likely_benign. Variant got -2 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product does not undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. Variant is located in the 3'-most 50 bp of the penultimate exon, not predicted to undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. Fraction of 0.0661 CDS is truncated, and there are 0 pathogenic variants in the truncated region.
• BS2: High AC in GnomAdExome4 at 33 AD gene.

Variant classified as Uncertain Significance - Favor Pathogenic. The Tyr598fs va riant in EYA4 has not been reported in individuals affected with hearing loss or in large population studies. This frameshift variant is located in exon 18A (al so referred to as exon 19 in the literature) present in alternate splice isoform s of the EYA4 gene, and is predicted to alter the protein?s amino acid sequence beginning at position 598 leading to a premature termination codon 8 amino acids downstream. While the major transcript of EYA4 (NM_004100.4) does not contain e xon 18A, studies have shown that this exon is expressed in human fetal cochlea ( Wayne 2001). However, without additional studies, it is unclear whether this tru ncated product is related to this individual's hearing loss. In summary, additio nal information is needed to determine the clinical significance of this variant . -

The EYA4 c.1793_1797delATGTT (p.Tyr598CysfsTer8) variant results in a frameshift and is predicted to cause a premature termination of the protein. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change and amino acid change. No publications were found based on this search. This variant is reported at a frequency of 0.00002 in the European (non-Finnish) population of the Exome Aggregation Consortium, but this frequency is based on a single allele in a region of good sequencing coverage. Therefore, the variant is presumed to be rare. Based on the variant frequency, disease prevalence, disease penetrance and inheritance mode, this variant could not be ruled out of causing disease. Due to the potential impact of frameshift variants and the lack of clarifying evidence, this variant is classified as a variant of unknown significance but suspicious for pathogenicity for EYA4-related disorders. This variant was observed by ICSL as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. -
