RCV001253783 | SCV001427086 | pathogenic | Pitt-Hopkins syndrome | 2019-10-04 | no assertion criteria provided | clinical testing | The p.Ser213Leufs*18 variant in the TCF4 gene was identified de novo in this individual and has not been previously reported in association with disease. This variant was absent from large population databases, including the Genome Aggregation Database (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/). The p.Ser213Leufs*18 variant results in a 3 bp deletion and 19 bp insertion, which causes a shift in the protein reading frame, leading to a premature termination codon 18 amino acids downstream. Heterozygous loss of function is an established mechanism of disease for the TCF4 gene (Zweier et al., 2008; Whalen et al., 2012; Sweetser et al., 2012). These data were assessed using the ACMG/AMP variant interpretation guidelines. In summary, there is sufficient evidence to classify the p.Ser213Leufs*18 variant as pathogenic for autosomal dominant Pitt-Hopkins syndrome based on the information above.
