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]

ENSG00000264187 (HGNC:):

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 18 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
• PP5: Variant 17-17216465-G-C is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr17-17216465-G-C is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 185892.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars. Variant chr17-17216465-G-C is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 185892). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with clinical diagnosis or suspicion of Birt-Hogg-Dubé syndrome (PMID: 18234728, 28151982). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Tyr405*) 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). -

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The p.Y405* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.1215C>G), located in coding exon 8 of the FLCN gene, results from a C to G substitution at nucleotide position 1215. This changes the amino acid from a tyrosine to a stop codon within coding exon 8. This alteration has been described in individuals with clinical features of Birt-Hogg-Dubé syndrome (Toro JR et al. J. Med. Genet. 2008 Jun;45:321-31; Park HJ et al. PLoS ONE 2017 Feb;12:e0170713; Ambry internal data). Of note, this alteration is also designated as c.1670C>G in published literature. This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). In addition to the clinical data presented in the literature, 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. -
