Genes affected

FH (HGNC:3700): (fumarate hydratase) The protein encoded by this gene is an enzymatic component of the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle, or Krebs cycle, and catalyzes the formation of L-malate from fumarate. It exists in both a cytosolic form and an N-terminal extended form, differing only in the translation start site used. The N-terminal extended form is targeted to the mitochondrion, where the removal of the extension generates the same form as in the cytoplasm. It is similar to some thermostable class II fumarases and functions as a homotetramer. Mutations in this gene can cause fumarase deficiency and lead to progressive encephalopathy.

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Ser480*) in the FH gene. While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the last 31 amino acid(s) of the FH protein. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with hereditary leiomyomatosis and renal cell cancer (PMID: 27187686). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 429184). This variant disrupts a region of the FH protein in which other variant(s) (p.Trp500*) have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 9635293, 21398687). This suggests that this is a clinically significant region of the protein, and that variants that disrupt it are likely to be disease-causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The p.S480* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.1439C>G), located in coding exon 10 of the FH gene, results from a C to G substitution at nucleotide position 1439. This changes the amino acid from a serine to a stop codon within coding exon 10. Based on internal structural analysis, this alteration disrupts normal FH protein structure and is anticipated to result in a significant decrease in structural stability; however direct functional evidence is unavailable (Ambry internal data). This alteration has been observed in at least one individual who has a personal or family history that is consistent with FH-associated disease (Ambry internal data). This alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. As such, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -
