Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 13 ACMG points: 14P and 1B. PM1 PM2 PM5 PP5_Very_Strong BP4

The NM_018684.4(ZC4H2):​c.593G>A​(p.Arg198Gln) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic (★★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. R198W) has been classified as Likely pathogenic.

Genes affected

ZC4H2 (HGNC:24931): (zinc finger C4H2-type containing) This gene encodes a member of the zinc finger domain-containing protein family. This family member has a C-terminal zinc finger domain that is characterized by four cysteine residues and two histidine residues, and it also includes a coiled-coil region. This protein has been detected as an autoantigen in hepatocellular carcinoma patients. This gene has been identified as a potential candidate for X-linked cognitive disability. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2011]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 13 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a hotspot region, there are 5 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 0 benign, 4 uncertain in NM_018684.4
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PM5: Other missense variant is known to change same aminoacid residue: Variant chrX-64917866-G-A is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 432364.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.
• PP5: Variant X-64917865-C-T is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chrX-64917865-C-T is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 50981.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars. Variant chrX-64917865-C-T is described in Lovd as [Likely_pathogenic]. Variant chrX-64917865-C-T is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].
• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (MetaRNN=0.42216164). . Strength limited to SUPPORTING due to the PP5.

The variant is not observed in the gnomAD v2.1.1 dataset. Functional studies provide strong evidence of the variant having a damaging effect on the gene or gene product (PMID:23623388, 28814648). Same nucleotide change resulting in same amino acid change has been previously reported as pathogenic/likely pathogenic with strong evidence (ClinVar ID: VCV000050981). A different missense change at the same codon (p.Arg198Trp) has been reported as pathogenic/likely pathogenic with strong evidence (ClinVar ID: VCV000432364). Therefore, this variant is classified as pathogenic according to the recommendation of ACMG/AMP guideline. -
