Genes affected

FHL2 (HGNC:3703): (four and a half LIM domains 2) This gene encodes a member of the four-and-a-half-LIM-only protein family. Family members contain two highly conserved, tandemly arranged, zinc finger domains with four highly conserved cysteines binding a zinc atom in each zinc finger. This protein is thought to have a role in the assembly of extracellular membranes. Also, this gene is down-regulated during transformation of normal myoblasts to rhabdomyosarcoma cells and the encoded protein may function as a link between presenilin-2 and an intracellular signaling pathway. Multiple alternatively spliced variants encoding different isoforms have been identified. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2016]

C2orf49 (HGNC:28772): (chromosome 2 open reading frame 49) Predicted to be involved in embryonic morphogenesis. Located in nucleus. Part of tRNA-splicing ligase complex. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change results in a frameshift in the FHL2 gene (p.Arg261Valfs*54). While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the last 19 amino acid(s) of the FHL2 protein and extend the protein by 34 additional amino acid residues. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with FHL2-related conditions. Experimental studies and prediction algorithms are not available or were not evaluated, and the functional significance of this variant is currently unknown. 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. -
