Genes affected
FIG4 (HGNC:16873): (FIG4 phosphoinositide 5-phosphatase) The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the SAC domain-containing protein gene family. The SAC domain, approximately 400 amino acids in length and consisting of seven conserved motifs, has been shown to possess phosphoinositide phosphatase activity. The yeast homolog, Sac1p, is involved in the regulation of various phosphoinositides, and affects diverse cellular functions such as actin cytoskeleton organization, Golgi function, and maintenance of vacuole morphology. Membrane-bound phosphoinositides function as signaling molecules and play a key role in vesicle trafficking in eukaryotic cells. Mutations in this gene have been associated with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, type 4J. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

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.

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.

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.

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.
