Comment on list classification: Updated rating from Amber to Green following recent external review by Konstantinos Varvagiannis (Dec 2018 and Feb 2019). The Torti et al., 2019 article (PMID:30739909) describes 27 individuals from 24 families with novel TCF20 variants. All 27 individuals had developmental delay/intellectual disability (DD/ID). Together with the individual in PMID:30525188 (Snoeijen-Schouwenaars et al 2019, Supplementary Table 2) and the additional evidence listed by Konstantinos Varvagiannis, these papers provide additional cases since the Amber rating in July 2018, and support that ID is a consistent feature amongst TCF20 patients.

PMID: 30739909 (Torti et al. 2019) provides information on 27 new individuals and compares with the phenotype of 17 previously reported ones. DD/ID was an almost universal feature (27/27 or 43/44 when considering all previously published cases).
Created: 14 Feb 2019, 5:14 p.m.
One further individual investigated for mild ID and focal epilepsy was found to harbor a de novo frameshift variant [NM_005650.3:c.5430dup or p.(Ala1811Serfs*4)] in PMID: 30525188.
Created: 19 Dec 2018, 11:07 a.m.
Apart from the 2 unrelated individuals with ID and de novo LoF variants reported by Schäfgen et al. (PMID: 27436265), 3 further relevant patients were reported by Babbs et al. (PMID: 25228304).

In the latter article, 2 sibs had disruption of TCF20 secondary to a translocation. One presented with borderline intellectual functioning (IQ of 79), while the other had mild to moderate intellectual disability. Both were presumed to have this chromosomal translocation due to parental germline mosaicism. None of the parents presented with ID.

In addition a third individual from the same study harbored a de novo frameshift variant and was reported to have moderate intellectual disability.
-----
In Decipher 23 patients have been reported with TCF20 mutations, 14 of whom as pathogenic/likely pathogenic. Developmental delay (speech/motor/global) was specifically recorded as a feature in 15 and intellectual disability in 4 (2 mild - 2 moderate). [Only 7 individuals from this list seem to have been included in the DDD study - details below]
https://decipher.sanger.ac.uk/gene/TCF20#variants/TCF20/patient-overlap/snvs
-----
Many of the individuals with de novo mutations from large patient cohorts (discussed in previous TCF20 review here) are listed in the denovo-db when filtering for coding variants:
http://denovo-db.gs.washington.edu/denovo-db/QueryVariantServlet?searchBy=Gene&target=tcf20

[This list includes 7 patients from the DDD study (PMID: 28135719) who also appear in Decipher, as well as those reported in a meta-analysis by Lelieveld et al (PMID: 27479843)].

Additional reports from large patient cohorts exist:
- Vissers et al. (PMID: 28333917) report on an individual with de novo frameshift variant [Patient 66 - table 1 - NM_005650.1:c.3889_3890insT or p.(Asn1297fs) - phenotype of "psychomotor retardation" in suppl.]
- Bowling et al. (PMID: 28554332) report on an additional patient with de novo LoF variant and relevant phenotype [Indiv. ID : 00078-C - NM_005650.3:c.5385_5386delTG or (p.Cys1795Trpfs) - phenotype of moderate ID, ASD and Speech delay]
-----
TCF20 is not associated with any phenotype in OMIM.
In G2P this gene is included in the DD panel, associated with TCF20 syndrome.
TCF20 is included in gene panels for ID offered by diagnostic laboratories (incl. Radboudumc)
-----
As a result, this gene could be considered for upgrade to green.

This is a pertinent gene from the NIHR BioResource - Rare Diseases Study (NIHRBR-RD) BRIDGE Study : SPEED (Specialist Pathology: Evaluating Exomes in Diagnostics) which covers epilepsies, movement and microcephaly disorders, this gene is on the SPEED_NEURO_20170705 gene list.

Louise Daugherty (Genomics England Curator)

Green List (high evidence)

As a result of watchlist tag audit the watchlist tag was removed from TCF20 this is now a green gene with sufficient evidence/review

Panel Version: 3.0
After internal clinical review it was agreed this gene should be Amber on this panel, based upon the two cases, albeit borderline, as the ID is described as mild
Created: 24 Jul 2018, 9:42 a.m.
Apart from this paper https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27436265 the other publications are all meta/large scale analyses https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27479843; https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25533962
The clinvar cases https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/?term=tcf20%5Bgene%5D noted by expert review although Clinical Significance in Clinvar defined as pathogenic, there is no phenotype info other than " Inborn genetic diseases" (phenotype absent from OMIM), so I am not sure this can be used bonafide evinced that variaints cause ID.There are also many cases listed in DDD https://decipher.sanger.ac.uk/search?q=tcf20#consented-patients/results but the contribution to phenotype is denoted as not confirmed. TCF20 is on the VCGS BRIDGE SPEED (NIHRRD-BR) panels, but should be noted evidence is lower than ours eg: 2 cases. Past onto internal clinical team for further review and consideration.

Comment on publications: added publication PMID: 27436265 that describes two individuals with de novo TCF20 sequence variants identified in a cohort of 313 individuals with intellectual disability of unknown aetiology. Both detected variants - one nonsense and one frameshift variant - were truncating. A comprehensive clinical characterisation of the patients yielded mild intellectual disability, postnatal tall stature and macrocephaly, obesity and muscular hypotonia as common clinical signs while ASD was only present in one proband.

Comment on list classification: This gene is from an expert list and needs further assessment by the Genomics England curation team to access inclusion and pertinence to this panel.
