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]

Significance:Pathogenic

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

The c.1179delC pathogenic variant in the FLCN gene causes a frameshift starting with codon Methionine 394, changes this amino acid to a Cysteine residue and creates a premature Stop codon at position 74 of the new reading frame, denoted p.Met394CysfsX74. This variant is predicted to cause loss of normal protein function either through protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. -

Significance:Pathogenic

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

The c.1179delC pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 8 of the FLCN gene, results from a deletion of one nucleotide at nucleotide position 1179, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.M394Cfs*74). This alteration has been observed in at least one individual with a personal and/or family history that is consistent with FLCN-related disease (Ambry internal data). 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. -

Significance:Pathogenic

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Met394Cysfs*74) 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). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with FLCN-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 96471). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
