Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely benign. The variant received -1 ACMG points: 0P and 1B. BP3

The NM_004960.4(FUS):​c.675_686delCGGCGGCGGCGG​(p.Gly226_Gly229del) variant causes a disruptive inframe deletion change. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0000056 in 1,607,448 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. It is difficult to determine the true allele frequency of this variant because it is of type DEL_BIG, and the frequency of such variant types in population databases may be underestimated and unreliable. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★★). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. G225G) has been classified as Likely benign.

Genes affected
FUS (HGNC:4010): (FUS RNA binding protein) This gene encodes a multifunctional protein component of the heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein (hnRNP) complex. The hnRNP complex is involved in pre-mRNA splicing and the export of fully processed mRNA to the cytoplasm. This protein belongs to the FET family of RNA-binding proteins which have been implicated in cellular processes that include regulation of gene expression, maintenance of genomic integrity and mRNA/microRNA processing. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. Defects in this gene result in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis type 6. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2009]

This variant, c.675_686del, results in the deletion of 4 amino acid(s) of the FUS protein (p.Gly228_Gly231del), but otherwise preserves the integrity of the reading frame. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This variant has been observed in individual(s) with amyotrphic lateral sclerosis (PMID: 20668259). This variant is also known as p.G223-G226del. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 969442). Experimental studies and prediction algorithms are not available or were not evaluated, and the functional significance of this variant is currently unknown. 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. -
