Genes affected

FOXC1 (HGNC:3800): (forkhead box C1) This gene belongs to the forkhead family of transcription factors which is characterized by a distinct DNA-binding forkhead domain. The specific function of this gene has not yet been determined; however, it has been shown to play a role in the regulation of embryonic and ocular development. Mutations in this gene cause various glaucoma phenotypes including primary congenital glaucoma, autosomal dominant iridogoniodysgenesis anomaly, and Axenfeld-Rieger anomaly.

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 12 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product does not undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. Variant is located in the 3'-most exon, not predicted to undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. There are 34 pathogenic variants in the truncated region.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 6-1610586-C-G is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr6-1610586-C-G is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 100687.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.

For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. Different truncations (p.Gln120*, Leu240Valfs*65, p.Ser320Argfs*81) that lie downstream of this variant have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 20881294, 16638984, 18498376, 11782474, Invitae). This suggests that deletion of this region of the FOXC1 protein is causative of disease. Experimental studies have shown that this nonsense change decreases FOXC1 stability, but increases its transcriptional activation activity (PMID: 25786029). This variant has been reported in an individual affected with congenital glaucoma and her mother, who had juvenile open-angle glaucoma (PMID: 25786029). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 100687). This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This sequence change results in a premature translational stop signal in the FOXC1 gene (p.Tyr47*). While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the last 503 amino acids of the FOXC1 protein. -
