This variant is a well-established cause of Muenke syndrome (PMID: 9042914, 26740388, 20301628). Functional characterization demonstrates that this missense change enhances ligand-binding in vitro compared to wild-type and affects endochondral ossification (PMID: 14613973, 22016144). This variant is present as a heterozygous change in the gnomAD population database at a frequency of 0.001% (2/267,378) and is thus presumed to be rare. It is a non-conservative amino acid substitution and is predicted by multiple in silico tools to be deleterious to protein function. Based on the combined evidence, the c.749C>G (p.Pro250Arg) variant is classified as pathogenic. -

Based on the classification scheme VCGS_Germline_v1.3.4, this variant is classified as Pathogenic. Following criteria are met: 0101 - Gain of function is a known mechanism of disease in this gene and is associated with autosomal dominant skeletal dysplasias (OMIM). Additionally, autosomal recessive and dominant CATSHL syndrome (MIM#610474), is suspected to be due to variants with a loss of function, and dominant negative mechanism, respectively (PMID: 25614871, PMID: 24864036). (I) 0108 - This gene is associated with both recessive and dominant disease (OMIM). (I) 0112 - The condition associated with this gene has incomplete penetrance. Individuals with Muenke syndrome have been shown to inherit pathogenic variants from an asymptomatic parent (PMID: 26740388, PMID: 18000976). (I) 0115 - Variants in this gene are known to have variable expressivity. There is a wide range of clinical symptoms with variable expressivity in LADD and Muenke syndrome patients, even within the same family (PMID: 26740388, PMID: 16501574). (I) 0200 - Variant is predicted to result in a missense amino acid change from proline to arginine. (I) 0251 - This variant is heterozygous. (I) 0302 - Variant is present in gnomAD (v2) <0.001 for a dominant condition (2 heterozygotes, 0 homozygotes). (SP) 0309 - An alternative amino acid change at the same position has been observed in gnomAD (v2, v3) (2 heterozygotes, 0 homozygotes). (I) 0504 - Same amino acid change has been observed in placental mammals. (SB) 0604 - Variant is not located in an established domain, motif, hotspot or informative constraint region. (I) 0801 - This variant has strong previous evidence of pathogenicity in unrelated individuals. This variant is very well established as pathogenic, and has been reported in many individuals with Muenke syndrome with variable expressivity. Additionally, it has been observed less commonly in individuals with Saethre-Chotzen or craniosynostosis syndrome, and can be inherited from an asymptomatic parent (ClinVar, PMID: 26740388).

Muenke syndrome (MIM #602849) is diagnosed based on the presence of the recurrent p.Pro250Arg variant (PMID: 8841188). -
The FGFR3 c.749C>G variant is a single nucleotide change in the FGFR3 gene that changes the amino acid proline at position 250 in the protein to arginine. This variant has been previously reported in several unrelated patients with Muenke syndrome (PMID: 9042914, 26740388, 20301628) (PS4_moderate). Functional characterization demonstrates that this missense change enhances ligand-binding in vitro compared to wild-type and affects endochondral ossification (PMID: 14613973, 22016144) (PS3). The variant was detected de novo in a patient with no family history of the disease (PS2). This variant has been reported in dbSNP (rs4647924) and is rare in population databases (2/270,300 in gnomAD, 0 homozygotes) (PM2). It is a non-conservative amino acid substitution and is predicted by multiple in silico tools to be deleterious to protein function (PP3). -

This sequence change replaces proline, which is neutral and non-polar, with arginine, which is basic and polar, at codon 250 of the FGFR3 protein (p.Pro250Arg). This variant is present in population databases (rs4647924, gnomAD 0.003%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with Muenke syndrome, but has also been identified in individuals with features of Saethre-Chotzen syndrome or other craniosynostosis syndromes (PMID: 9042914, 10094188, 10861678, 15915095, 26740388). In at least one individual the variant was observed to be de novo. It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 16340). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt FGFR3 protein function with a negative predictive value of 80%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects FGFR3 function (PMID: 14613973). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Variant summary: FGFR3 c.749C>G (p.Pro250Arg) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Three of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 4.2e-06 in 238970 control chromosomes. c.749C>G has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Muenke syndrome (example, Paumard-Hernandez_2014). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. At least one publication reports experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function. The most pronounced variant effect results in enhancement in ligand binding in vitro (Ibrahimi_2004). The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 14613973, 25271085). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 16340). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
This variant was determined to be pathogenic according to ACMG Guidelines, 2015 [PMID:25741868]. The p.R250R pathogenic variant is the most common pathogenic variant found in MNKS patients with variable expressivity [PMID 9107244, 9279764] -
FGFR3-related disorder Pathogenic:2
The FGFR3 c.749C>G variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Pro250Arg. This variant has been documented as one of the most common variants associated with syndromic craniosynostosis, and in particular with autosomal dominant Muenke syndrome (Muenke et al. 1997. PubMed ID: 9042914; Mulliken et al. 1999. PubMed ID: 10541159; Roscioli et al. 2013. PubMed ID: 24127277; Kruszka et al. 2016. PubMed ID: 26740388). Of note, this variant has been reported in one patient without craniosynostosis but with hearing loss and developmental delay (Patient 15, Table 1, Kruszka et al. 2016. PubMed ID: 26740388). This variant is reported in 0.0029% of alleles in individuals of Latino descent in gnomAD. This variant is interpreted as pathogenic. -

The c.749C>G (p.P250R) alteration is located in exon 7 (coding exon 6) of the FGFR3 gene. This alteration results from a C to G substitution at nucleotide position 749, causing the proline (P) at amino acid position 250 to be replaced by an arginine (R)._x000D_ _x000D_ Based on the available evidence, the FGFR3 c.749C>G (p.P250R) alteration is classified as pathogenic for Muenke syndrome. Based on data from gnomAD, the G allele has an overall frequency of 0.001% (2/270300) total alleles studied. The highest observed frequency was 0.003% (1/34950) of Latino alleles. The FGFR3 c.749C>G (p.P250R) alteration is a well-established disease-causing alteration of Muenke syndrome and the only reported pathogenic mutation in patients with Muenke syndrome (Bellus, 1996; Kruszka, 2016). This amino acid position is well conserved in available vertebrate species. Functional analysis of mouse models of Muenke syndrome harboring the mouse equivalent of the p.P250R alteration (p.P244R in mice) show that the alteration disrupts endochondral and perichondrial ossification in the cranial base (Laurita, 2011) as well as the temporomandibular joint development by reducing hedgehog signaling and endochondral ossification (Laurita, 2011; Yasuda, 2012). Surface plasmon resonance analysis and X-ray crystallography demonstrated enhanced binding of the mutant structure compared to wildtype (Ibrahimi, 2004). The in silico prediction for this alteration is inconclusive. Based on the available evidence, this alteration is classified as pathogenic. -
