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]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Likely_pathogenic. Variant got 9 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Splicing variant, NOT destroyed by nmd, known LOF gene, truncates exone, which is 0.03171717 fraction of the gene. Cryptic splice site detected, with MaxEntScore 7.4, offset of -48, new splice context is: cctcccttccttcccccaAGaga. Cryptic site results in inframe change. If cryptic site found is not functional and variant results in exon loss, it results in frameshift change.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP3: Splicing scoreres supports a deletorius effect: Scorers claiming Pathogenic: dbscSNV1_ADA, dbscSNV1_RF, max_spliceai. No scorers claiming Uncertain. No scorers claiming Benign.
• PP5: Variant 15-39965685-G-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr15-39965685-G-A is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 101530.Status of the report is no_assertion_criteria_provided, 0 stars.
