Variant summary
Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 15 ACMG points: 15P and 0B. PM1PM2PM5PP3PP5_Very_Strong
The NM_001349338.3(FOXP1):c.1574G>A(p.Arg525Gln) variant causes a missense 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. 12/21 in silico tools predict a damaging outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Likely pathogenic (★★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. R525G) has been classified as Likely pathogenic.

Published functional studies suggest a damaging effect (loss of DNA-binding ability) (Johnson et al., 2018); Not observed in large population cohorts (Lek et al., 2016); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 25326635, 28884888, 27657687, 30385778) -
This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of FOXP1-related conditions (PMID: 27657687, 30385778). In at least one individual the variant was observed to be de novo. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 521111). 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 expected to disrupt FOXP1 protein function. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects FOXP1 function (PMID: 30385778). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with glutamine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 525 of the FOXP1 protein (p.Arg525Gln). -

Intellectual disability-severe speech delay-mild dysmorphism syndrome Pathogenic:4
Variant summary: FOXP1 c.1574G>A (p.Arg525Gln) results in a conservative amino acid change located in the Fork Head domain (IPR001766) of the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant was absent in 251486 control chromosomes. c.1574G>A has been reported in the literature in three patients who all presented with global developmental delay, autism spectrum disorder, and characteristic dysmorphic features, with other phenotypic features being unique to particular patients (Bekheirnia_2017, Myers_2017, Johnson_2018). Two of these patients had confirmed de novo inheritance of the variant, while one was missing maternal sample, however paternal and unaffected full siblings samples were negative for the variant. A functional study reported that despite normal nuclear localization of the variant protein in vitro, the ability to transcriptionally repress the SV40 promoter was severely diminished compared to wild-type (Johnson_2018). One clinical diagnostic laboratory has submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation, and classified the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

This sequence change in FOXP1 is predicted to replace arginine with glutamine at codon 525, p.(Arg525Gln). The arginine residue is highly conserved (100 vertebrates, UCSC), and is located in Fork-head DNA-binding domain a region, amino acids 465-555, that is defined as a mutational hotspot and critical functional domain (PMID: 31199603). There is a small physicochemical difference between arginine and glutamine. This variant is absent from gnomAD v2.1 and v3.1. This variant has been identified as a de novo occurrence with confirmed parental relationships in one individual and as a de novo occurrence with unconfirmed parental relationships in two individuals with syndromic intellectual disability (PMID: 27657687, 30385778; DECIPHER). This variant has also been reported in an additional four probands with unknown/unconfirmed de novo status and consistent phenotypes resembling FOXP1 syndrome (PMID: 30385778, 34588003; ClinVar: SCV000741551.2, SCV001905601.1). A luciferase assay in HEK293 cells showed diminished transcriptional repression indicating that this variant impacts protein function (PMID: 30385778). Multiple lines of computational evidence predict a deleterious effect for the missense substitution (6/6 algorithms). Based on the classification scheme RMH Modified ACMG Guidelines v1.5.1, this variant is classified as PATHOGENIC. Following criteria are met: PS2/PM6_Strong, PM1, PS3_Supporting, PS4_Supporting, PM2_Supporting, PP3. -
Based on the classification scheme VCGS_Germline_v1.3.4, this variant is classified as Pathogenic. Following criteria are met: 0102 - Loss of function is a known mechanism of disease in this gene and is associated with intellectual developmental disorder with language impairment with or without autistic features (MIM#613670). Dominant-negative is also a suggested disease mechanism (OMIM). (I) 0107 - This gene is associated with autosomal dominant disease. (I) 0200 - Variant is predicted to result in a missense amino acid change from arginine to glutamine. (I) 0251 - This variant is heterozygous. (I) 0301 - Variant is absent from gnomAD (both v2 and v3). (SP) 0501 - Missense variant consistently predicted to be damaging by multiple in silico tools or highly conserved with a major amino acid change. (SP) 0602 - Variant is located in a hotspot region or cluster of pathogenic variants in the forkhead domain (DECIPHER). (SP) 0801 - This variant has strong previous evidence of pathogenicity in unrelated individuals. This variant has been classified as pathogenic or likely pathogenic by multiple clinical laboratories in ClinVar, and has been observed as de novo in at least two individuals with FOXP1-related conditions (PMID: 30385778). (SP) 1203 - This variant has been shown to be de novo in the proband (parental status confirmed) (by trio analysis).
