Corneal dystrophy
Gene: TCF4
Causes corneal dystrophy only due to STR expansion. Point pathogenic variants in TCF4 gene causes Pitt-Hopkins syndrome. Should not be green on this panel, as will not yield diagnosis with corneal dystrophy.Created: 30 Nov 2021, 8:55 p.m. | Last Modified: 30 Nov 2021, 8:55 p.m.

TCF4 is associated with Corneal dystrophy in OMIM but not in Gene2Phenotype. There is enough evidence for this gene to be rated green on this panel. It should be noted that the CTG18.1 repeat expansion in the intronic region of TCF4 may be difficult to analyse due to technical difficulties with short-read WGS.
