Our verdict is Uncertain significance. Variant got 2 ACMG points: 2P and 0B. PM2
The NM_018291.5(FGGY):c.638A>G(p.Glu213Gly) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000684 in 1,461,688 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★).
FGGY (HGNC:25610): (FGGY carbohydrate kinase domain containing) This gene encodes a protein that phosphorylates carbohydrates such as ribulose, ribitol, and L-arabinitol. Genome-wide association studies in some populations have found an association between polymorphisms in this gene and sporadic amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, but studies of other populations have not been able to replicate this association. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, May 2013]
Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method: clinical testing
The c.638A>G (p.E213G) alteration is located in exon 6 (coding exon 5) of the FGGY gene. This alteration results from a A to G substitution at nucleotide position 638, causing the glutamic acid (E) at amino acid position 213 to be replaced by a glycine (G). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
