Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 19 ACMG points: 19P and 0B. PVS1 PM2 PP3 PP5_Very_Strong

The NM_144997.7(FLCN):​c.1389C>A​(p.Tyr463Ter) variant causes a stop gained change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Likely pathogenic (★★). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. Y463Y) has been classified as Likely benign. Variant results in nonsense mediated mRNA decay.

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]

MPRIP (HGNC:30321): (myosin phosphatase Rho interacting protein) Enables cadherin binding activity. Predicted to be involved in actin filament organization. Located in actin cytoskeleton and cytosol. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 19 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product undergoes nonsense mediated mRNA decay. LoF is a known mechanism of disease.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP3: Splicing scoreres supports a deletorius effect: Scorers claiming Pathogenic: max_spliceai. No scorers claiming Uncertain. No scorers claiming Benign.
• PP5: Variant 17-17215228-G-T is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr17-17215228-G-T is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 253250.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Myriad Genetics, Inc.	Oct 09, 2023	This variant is considered pathogenic. This variant creates a termination codon and is predicted to result in premature protein truncation. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Invitae	Aug 27, 2023	This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Tyr463*) in the FLCN gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in FLCN are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 15852235). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may create or strengthen a splice site. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 253250). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with FLCN-related conditions. -

The p.Y463* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.1389C>A), located in coding exon 9 of the FLCN gene, results from a C to A substitution at nucleotide position 1389. This changes the amino acid from a tyrosine to a stop codon within coding exon 9. This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). This alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. As such, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -
