Significance:Likely pathogenic
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

NM_000137.2(FAH):c.47A>T(N16I) is a missense variant classified as likely pathogenic in the context of tyrosinemia type I. N16I has been observed in cases with relevant disease (PMID: 36393896, 1401056, Bergeron_2020_(Study)). Relevant functional assessments of this variant are available in the literature (PMID: 1401056, 11278491). N16I has been observed in referenced population frequency databases. In summary, NM_000137.2(FAH):c.47A>T(N16I) is a missense variant that has functional support for pathogenicity and has been observed more frequently in cases with the relevant disease than in healthy populations. Please note: this variant was assessed in the context of healthy population screening.

Variant summary: FAH c.47A>T (p.Asn16Ile) results in a non-conservative amino acid change to a highly conserved residue (HGMD) located in the Fumarylacetoacetase, N-terminal (IPR015377) of the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 2.8e-05 in 251278 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.47A>T has been reported in the literature in an individual affected with Tyrosinemia Type 1 (Phaneuf_1992). These data suggest the variant may be associated with disease. At least three publications report experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function, finding that the variant protein lacks enzymatic activity and shows aberrant aggregation in the insoluble fraction of cells (Phaneuf_1992, Bergeron_2001, Macias_2019). The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 1401056, 11278491, 31300554). No submitters have cited clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely pathogenic.
