Genes affected

LHX4 (HGNC:21734): (LIM homeobox 4) This gene encodes a member of a large protein family which contains the LIM domain, a unique cysteine-rich zinc-binding domain. The encoded protein is a transcription factor involved in the control of differentiation and development of the pituitary gland. Mutations in this gene cause combined pituitary hormone deficiency 4. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2010]

ACMG classification

Our verdict: Likely_benign. The variant received -4 ACMG points.

• PM4: Nonframeshift variant in NON repetitive region in NM_033343.4. Strenght limited to Supporting due to length of the change: 1aa.
• BS1: Variant frequency is greater than expected in population nfe. GnomAd4 allele frequency = 0.0000394 (6/152166) while in subpopulation NFE AF = 0.0000588 (4/68026). AF 95% confidence interval is 0.0000197. There are 1 homozygotes in GnomAd4. There are 4 alleles in the male GnomAd4 subpopulation. Median coverage is 31. This position passed quality control check. Existence of Clinvar submissions makes me limit the strength of this signal to Supporting
• BS2: High AC in GnomAd4 at 6 AD gene.
