Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 12 ACMG points: 12P and 0B. PVS1 PM2 PP5_Moderate

The NM_144997.7(FLCN):​c.838G>T​(p.Glu280Ter) variant causes a stop gained change involving the alteration of a 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 Pathogenic (★). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. E280E) 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]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 12 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 17-17221570-C-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr17-17221570-C-A is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 428653.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.

The p.E280* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.838G>T), located in coding exon 5 of the FLCN gene, results from a G to T substitution at nucleotide position 838. This changes the amino acid from a glutamic acid to a stop codon within coding exon 5. 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. -
