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 17-17227935-CT-C is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr17-17227935-CT-C is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 409389.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.

For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. While this particular variant has not been reported in the literature, truncating variants in FLCN are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 15852235). This sequence change deletes 1 nucleotide from exon 4 of the FLCN mRNA (c.202delA), causing a frameshift at codon 68. This creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Ser68Alafs*62) and is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. -
