Genes affected
FGG (HGNC:3694): (fibrinogen gamma chain) The protein encoded by this gene is the gamma component of fibrinogen, a blood-borne glycoprotein comprised of three pairs of nonidentical polypeptide chains. Following vascular injury, fibrinogen is cleaved by thrombin to form fibrin which is the most abundant component of blood clots. In addition, various cleavage products of fibrinogen and fibrin regulate cell adhesion and spreading, display vasoconstrictor and chemotactic activities, and are mitogens for several cell types. Mutations in this gene lead to several disorders, including dysfibrinogenemia, hypofibrinogenemia and thrombophilia. Alternative splicing results in transcript variants encoding different isoforms.

The FGG p.Gly191Arg variant was not identified in the literature nor was it identified in Cosmic or LOVD 3.0. The variant was identified in dbSNP (ID: rs6063) as "With Pathogenic allele" and in ClinVar (variant classified as pathogenic by OMIM; associated condition is digenic Fibrinogen Milano XII) The variant was identified in control databases in 784 of 282600 chromosomes (4 homozygous) at a frequency of 0.002774 increasing the likelihood this could be a low frequency benign variant (Genome Aggregation Database Feb 27, 2017). The variant was observed in the following populations: European (non-Finnish) in 596 of 128994 chromosomes (freq: 0.00462), Ashkenazi Jewish in 39 of 10360 chromosomes (freq: 0.003764), Other in 26 of 7216 chromosomes (freq: 0.003603), Latino in 85 of 35390 chromosomes (freq: 0.002402), African in 23 of 24960 chromosomes (freq: 0.000922), European (Finnish) in 11 of 25120 chromosomes (freq: 0.000438) and South Asian in 4 of 30610 chromosomes (freq: 0.000131), while the variant was not observed in the and East Asian population. The variant occurs outside of the splicing consensus sequence and in silico or computational prediction software programs (SpliceSiteFinder, MaxEntScan, NNSPLICE, GeneSplicer) do not predict a difference in splicing. The p.Gly191 residue is conserved across mammals and other organisms, and four out of five computational analyses (PolyPhen-2, SIFT, BLOSUM, MutationTaster) suggest that the G variant may impact the protein; however, this information is not predictive enough to assume pathogenicity. In summary, based on the above information the clinical significance of this variant cannot be determined with certainty at this time. This variant is classified as a variant of uncertain significance. -

Variant summary: FGG c.571G>A (p.Gly191Arg) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the Fibrinogen, alpha/beta/gamma chain, C-terminal globular domain (IPR002181) of the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0028 in 251212 control chromosomes in the gnomAD database, including 3 homozygotes. c.571G>A has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with thrombotic disorder or HELLP syndrome without evidence of causality (e.g. Downes_2019, Jimenez_2020). These reports do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Congenital Dysfibrinogenemia. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 31064749, 33059327). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 16378). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely benign. -

This variant was observed as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (where applicable). No publications were found based on this search. Allele frequency data from public databases was too high to be consistent with this variant causing disease. Therefore, this variant is classified as benign. -
