Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp | May 03, 2022 | This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with thanatophoric dysplasia type 1 (PMID: 8845844, 9790257, 24863959, 25614871). In at least one individual the variant was observed to be de novo. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change replaces glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 370 of the FGFR3 protein (p.Gly370Cys). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 16359). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects FGFR3 function (PMID: 12009017). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function are either unavailable or do not agree on the potential impact of this missense change (SIFT: "Deleterious"; PolyPhen-2: "Benign"; Align-GVGD: "Class C15"). - |
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | GeneDx | Nov 24, 2021 | Published functional studies demonstrate p.(G370C) results in spontaneous disulfide bond-mediated dimerization of the FGFR3 protein independent of ligand stimulation that subsequently leads to constitutive activation of the receptor (Adar et al., 2002; You et al., 2007); Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (Lek et al., 2016); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant does not alter protein structure/function; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 8845844, 15772091, 10471491, 25157968, 9790257, 12009017, 16841094, 19752524, 25728633, 25614871, 27028100, 28249712, 28254233, 10696568, 11745189, 24863959, 20301540, 19381019, 17845056) - |
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | ARUP Laboratories, Molecular Genetics and Genomics, ARUP Laboratories | Apr 13, 2020 | The FGFR3 c.1108G>T; p.Gly370Cys variant (rs121913479) has been described in several individuals with thanatophoric dysplasia (TD), type I (Rousseau 1996, Katsumata 1998, Xue 2014). It is reported as pathogenic in ClinVar (Variation ID: 16359) and is absent from general population databases (1000 Genomes Project, Exome Variant Server, and Genome Aggregation Database), indicating it is not a common polymorphism. In vitro functional studies have indicated the p.Gly370Cys variant promotes ligand-independent FGFR3 correct spatial dimerization that results in constitutive ligand independent phosphorylation of MAPK and c-fos transcription (Adar 2002). Based on available formation, this variant is considered pathogenic. REFERENCES Adar R et al.
