Genes affected
FCN3 (HGNC:3625): (ficolin 3) Ficolins are a group of proteins which consist of a collagen-like domain and a fibrinogen-like domain. In human serum, there are two types of ficolins, both of which have lectin activity. The protein encoded by this gene is a thermolabile beta-2-macroglycoprotein found in all human serum and is a member of the ficolin/opsonin p35 lectin family. The protein, which was initially identified based on its reactivity with sera from patients with systemic lupus erythematosus, has been shown to have a calcium-independent lectin activity. The protein can activate the complement pathway in association with MASPs and sMAP, thereby aiding in host defense through the activation of the lectin pathway. Alternative splicing occurs at this locus and two variants, each encoding a distinct isoform, have been identified. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

ACMG classification

Classification was made for transcript

Our verdict: Uncertain_significance. The variant received 3 ACMG points.

PVS1
Loss of function variant, product undergoes nonsense mediated mRNA decay. LoF is a known mechanism of disease.
BS1
Variant frequency is greater than expected in population sas. GnomAd4 allele frequency = 0.0184 (2806/152228) while in subpopulation SAS AF = 0.0292 (141/4828). AF 95% confidence interval is 0.0253. There are 34 homozygotes in GnomAd4. There are 1350 alleles in the male GnomAd4 subpopulation. Median coverage is 31. This position passed quality control check. Existence of Clinvar submissions makes me limit the strength of this signal to Supporting

NM_003665.2:c.349delC in the FCN3 gene has an allele frequency of 0.028 in South Asian subpopulation in the gnomAD database. The c.349delC variant has been identified in the homozygous state in 3 individuals with Immunodeficiency (PMID: 19535802; 20971976; 22226667). This variant is predicted to cause loss of normal protein function either through protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. Taken together, we interprete this variant as Pathogenic/Likely pathogenic variant. ACMG/AMP criteria applied: PVS1; PM3. -
