Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 4J Pathogenic:2Uncertain:1
Variant summary: FIG4 c.547C>T (p.Arg183X) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 2.8e-05 in 250950 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.547C>T has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Charcot-Marie Disease Type 4J (example: Chow_2007). The following publication has been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 17572665). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 1723). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

not provided Pathogenic:1
The R183X nonsense variant in the FIG4 gene has been reported previously in association with CMT4J (Chow et al., 2007). Heterozygosity for the R183X mutation is also reported to be a risk factor for developing amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) (Chow et al., 2009). This variant is predicted to cause loss of normal protein function either through protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. -
FIG4-related disorder Pathogenic:1
The FIG4 c.547C>T variant is predicted to result in premature protein termination (p.Arg183*). This variant has been reported in the compound heterozygous state in siblings with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 4J (Fig. 4b, Chow et al. 2007. PubMed ID: 17572665). It has also been reported in an individual with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (Table A5, Tunca et al. 2020. PubMed ID: 32579787). This variant is reported in 0.0044% of alleles in individuals of European (Non-Finnish) descent in gnomAD. Nonsense variants in FIG4 are expected to be pathogenic. This variant is interpreted as pathogenic for autosomal recessive Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 4J. -
Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 4 Pathogenic:1
This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg183*) in the FIG4 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in FIG4 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 23623387, 30740813). This variant is present in population databases (rs121908288, gnomAD 0.005%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, type 4 (PMID: 17572665). This variant is also known as c.718C>T. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 1723). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
