Genetic Variant FLCN:p.Asp476Glu (chr17-17215189-G-C) – ACMG Classification: Benign (-8 pts)

Variant summary

Our verdict is Benign. The variant received -8 ACMG points: 0P and 8B. BP4_ModerateBP6BS1BS2_Supporting

The NM_001353229.2(FLCN):c.1482C>G(p.Asp494Glu) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0000136 in 1,614,010 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. 13/22 in silico tools predict a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity (no stars). Another nucleotide change resulting in the same amino acid substitution has been previously reported as Likely benign in ClinVar. Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. D494N) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

Genes affected

FLCN (HGNC:27310): (folliculin) This gene is located within the Smith-Magenis syndrome region on chromosome 17. Mutations in this gene are associated with Birt-Hogg-Dube syndrome, which is characterized by fibrofolliculomas, renal tumors, lung cysts, and pneumothorax. Alternative splicing of this gene results in two transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

ACMG classification

Classification was made for transcript

Our verdict: Benign. The variant received -8 ACMG points.

BP4

Computational evidence support a benign effect (MetaRNN=0.20681068).

BP6

Variant 17-17215189-G-C is Benign according to our data. Variant chr17-17215189-G-C is described in ClinVar as Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity. ClinVar VariationId is 322062.

BS1

Variant frequency is greater than expected in population eas. GnomAd4 allele frequency = 0.0000394 (6/152198) while in subpopulation EAS AF = 0.00116 (6/5192). AF 95% confidence interval is 0.000502. There are 0 homozygotes in GnomAd4. There are 3 alleles in the male GnomAd4 subpopulation. Median coverage is 32. This position passed quality control check.

BS2

High AC in GnomAd4 at 6 AD gene. Variant has AC lower than other variant known as pathogenic in the gene, so the strength is limited to Supporting.
