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.

Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces threonine, which is neutral and polar, with alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 234 of the FH protein (p.Thr234Ala). This variant is present in population databases (rs372505976, gnomAD 0.003%). This missense change has been observed in individuals with clinical features of hereditary leiomyomatosis and renal cell cancer (HLRCC) and/or pheochromocytoma (PMID: 30050099; external communication, internal data). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 184555). 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%. This variant disrupts the p.Thr234 amino acid residue in FH. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been observed in individuals with FH-related conditions (internal data), which suggests that this may be a clinically significant amino acid residue. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

The p.T234A variant (also known as c.700A>G), located in coding exon 5 of the FH gene, results from an A to G substitution at nucleotide position 700. The threonine at codon 234 is replaced by alanine, an amino acid with similar properties. This alteration has been identified in numerous patients with a personal and/or family history of pheochromocytomas or paragangliomas, including tumors with a loss of fumarate hydratase staining in immunohistochemistry experiments (Ambry internal data; Richter S et al. Genet. Med. 2018 Jul; Fuchs TL et al. Am J Surg Pathol 2023 Jan;47(1):25-36; Zavoshi S et al. Urology 2023 Feb.). Based on internal structural analysis, this amino acid sits at the interface of two monomer subunits and this substitution is anticipated to result in a significant decrease in structural stability (Baugh L et al. Tuberculosis (Edinb). 2015 Mar;95:142-8; Ambry internal data). 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 in association with PPGL, however its association with other features of hereditary leiomyomatosis and renal cell carcinoma syndrome is unclear. -
