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.

ACMG classification

Our verdict: Pathogenic. The variant received 17 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a hotspot region, there are 18 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 0 benign, 26 uncertain in NM_000143.4
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PM5: Other missense variant is known to change same aminoacid residue: Variant chr1-241508644-G-A is described in ClinVar as Pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 141355.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.
• PP2: Missense variant in the gene, where a lot of missense mutations are associated with disease in ClinVar. The gene has 132 curated pathogenic missense variants (we use a threshold of 10). The gene has 17 curated benign missense variants. Gene score misZ: 1.2708 (below the threshold of 3.09). Trascript score misZ: 2.0634 (below the threshold of 3.09). GenCC associations: The gene is linked to fumaric aciduria, hereditary leiomyomatosis and renal cell cancer, hereditary pheochromocytoma-paraganglioma, leiomyosarcoma, pheochromocytoma-paraganglioma.
• PP3: Splicing predictors support a deleterious effect. Scorers claiming Pathogenic: max_spliceai. No scorers claiming Uncertain. No scorers claiming Benign.
• PP5: Variant 1-241508644-G-C is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr1-241508644-G-C is described in ClinVar as Pathogenic/Likely_pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 826742.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 826742). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt FH protein function. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may create or strengthen a splice site. This variant disrupts the p.Arg233 amino acid residue in FH. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 2314594, 9300800, 11865300, 12772087, 15761418, 15937070, 20618355, 21398687, 22127509). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with FH-related conditions. This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 233 of the FH protein (p.Arg233Gly). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency).

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The p.R233G pathogenic mutation (also known as c.697C>G), located in coding exon 5 of the FH gene, results from a C to G substitution at nucleotide position 697. The arginine at codon 233 is replaced by glycine, an amino acid with dissimilar properties. This alteration has been reported in an individual with leiomyosarcoma and renal cancer diagnoses (Ambry internal data). Similar alterations affecting this same amino acid in the FH gene, p.R233C and p.R233H, have been reported in multiple individuals and families with Hereditary Leiomyomatosis and Renal Cell Carcinoma (HLRCC) (Picaud S et al. J. Inherit. Metab. Dis. 2011 Jun;34(3):671-6; Gardie B et al. J. Med. Genet. 2011 Apr;48(4):226-34; Huter E et al. Acta Derm. Venereol. 2008;88(1):63-5; Smit DL et al. Clin. Genet. 2011 Jan;79(1):49-59; Wang C et al. JAAD Case Rep. 2015 May;1(3):150-2). This variant was not reported in population-based cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD) (Lek M et al. Nature. 2016 08;536:285-91). 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.
