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: Likely pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This variant is denoted FH c.947C>A at the cDNA level, p.Ala316Asp (A316D) at the protein level, and results in the change of an Alanine to an Aspartic Acid (GCT>GAT). Using alternate nomenclature, this variant would be defined as FH Ala273Asp. This variant has not, to our knowledge, been published in the literature as pathogenic or benign. FH Ala316Asp was not observed in large population cohorts (Lek 2016). Although this variant is not located in a known functional domain, missense variants at several surrounding residues have been reported in hereditary leiomyomatosis and renal cell cancer (HLRCC) or fumarate hydratase deficiency kindreds and shown to cause decreased FH enzyme activity (Martinez-Mir 2003, Toro 2003, Pithukpakorn 2006, Marque 2010, Gardie 2011, Picaud 2011). In silico analysis, which includes protein predictors and evolutionary conservation, supports a deleterious effect. Based on currently available evidence and internal clinical data, we consider FH Ala316Asp to be a likely pathogenic variant. -

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change replaces alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, with aspartic acid, which is acidic and polar, at codon 316 of the FH protein (p.Ala316Asp). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individuals with features consistent with hereditary leiomyomatosis and renal cell cancer (PMID: 28300276; internal data). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 214416). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt FH protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects FH function (PMID: 28300276). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The p.A316D pathogenic mutation (also known as c.947C>A), located in coding exon 7 of the FH gene, results from a C to A substitution at nucleotide position 947. The alanine at codon 316 is replaced by aspartic acid, an amino acid with dissimilar properties. This variant has been detected in individuals satisfying diagnostic criteria for Hereditary Leiomyomatosis and Renal Cell Cancer (HLRCC) syndrome, and functional analysis demonstrated 29% of FH activity compared to controls (Muller M et al. Clin Genet, 2017 Dec;92:606-615; Ambry internal data). Based on internal protein structure analysis, this variant is predicted to disrupt the FH protein binding interface (Picaud S et al. J Inherit Metab Dis, 2011 Jun;34:671-6; Mechaly AE et al. FEBS Lett., 2012 Jun;586:1606-11). This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Based on the supporting evidence, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -
