Genes affected
FOXG1 (HGNC:3811): (forkhead box G1) This locus encodes a member of the fork-head transcription factor family. The encoded protein, which functions as a transcriptional repressor, is highly expressed in neural tissues during brain development. Mutations at this locus have been associated with Rett syndrome and a diverse spectrum of neurodevelopmental disorders defined as part of the FOXG1 syndrome. This gene is disregulated in many types of cancer and is the target of multiple microRNAs that regulate the proliferation of tumor cells. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2020]

Variant summary: FOXG1 c.159_161dupCCA (p.His57dup) results in an in-frame duplication that is predicted to duplicate one amino acid into the encoded protein. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00013 in 139964 control chromosomes. The observed variant frequency is approximately 129 fold of the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in FOXG1 causing Rett Syndrome, Congenital Variant phenotype (1e-06). To our knowledge, no occurrence of c.159_161dupCCA in individuals affected with Rett Syndrome, Congenital Variant and no experimental evidence demonstrating its impact on protein function have been reported. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 189606). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely benign. -
