Variant summary
Our verdict is Uncertain significance. The variant received 1 ACMG points: 2P and 1B. PM2BP4
The NM_001370298.3(FGD4):c.1366C>T(p.Arg456Cys) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000372 in 1,613,974 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. R456H) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

not provided    Uncertain:1 
A variant of uncertain significance has been identified in the FGD4 gene. The R319C variant has not been published as a pathogenic variant, nor has it been reported as a benign variant to our knowledge. The R319C variant is not observed in large population cohorts (Lek et al., 2016; 1000 Genomes Consortium et al., 2015; Exome Variant Server). The R319C variant is a non-conservative amino acid substitution, which is likely to impact secondary protein structure as these residues differ in polarity, charge, size and/or other properties. This substitution occurs at a position where amino acids with similar properties to Arginine are tolerated across species. In silico analysis predicts this variant is probably damaging to the protein structure/function. Based on the currently available information, it is unclear whether this variant is a pathogenic variant or a rare benign variant. -
Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 4    Uncertain:1 
This sequence change replaces arginine with cysteine at codon 319 of the FGD4 protein (p.Arg319Cys). The arginine residue is highly conserved and there is a large physicochemical difference between arginine and cysteine. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (SIFT, PolyPhen-2, Align-GVGD) all suggest that this variant is likely to be disruptive, but these predictions have not been confirmed by published functional studies and their clinical significance is uncertain. This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with FGD4-related disease. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 430243). This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). -
