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

Classification was made for transcript

Our verdict: Likely_benign. The variant received -3 ACMG points.

BP4
Computational evidence support a benign effect (MetaRNN=0.24203545).
BS2
High AC in GnomAdExome4 at 5 AD gene. Variant has AC lower than other variant known as pathogenic in the gene, so the strength is limited to Supporting.

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Uncertain:1
Sep 06, 2023
Ambry Genetics
Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The p.D33Y variant (also known as c.97G>T), located in coding exon 1 of the FLCN gene, results from a G to T substitution at nucleotide position 97. The aspartic acid at codon 33 is replaced by tyrosine, an amino acid with highly dissimilar properties. This amino acid position is poorly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, the in silico prediction for this alteration is inconclusive. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

Birt-Hogg-Dube syndrome Uncertain:1
Jun 29, 2024
Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp
Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces aspartic acid, which is acidic and polar, with tyrosine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 33 of the FLCN protein (p.Asp33Tyr). 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: 230017). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt FLCN protein function with a negative predictive value of 80%. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
