RCV001932306 | SCV002117862 | uncertain significance | Pitt-Hopkins syndrome | 2021-07-04 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This sequence change falls in intron 3 of the TCF4 gene. It does not directly change the encoded amino acid sequence of the TCF4 protein. It affects a nucleotide within the consensus splice site of the intron. This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with TCF4-related conditions. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. Nucleotide substitutions within the consensus splice site are a relatively common cause of aberrant splicing (PMID: 17576681, 9536098). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. |
