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:Uncertain significance

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

BP4 FLCN c.619-20C>T is an intronic variant located close to a canonical acceptor splice site. This variant is found in 88/268280 alleles at a frequency of 0.033% in the gnomAD v2.1.1 database, non-cancer dataset. The SpliceAI algorithm predicts no significant impact on splicing (BP4). To our knowledge, neither relevant clinical data nor well-established functional studies have been reported for this variant. In addition, the variant has been identified in the ClinVar (5x likely benign) and LOVD (1x likely benign) databases. Based on currently available information, the variant c.619-20C>T should be considered an uncertain significance variant. -
