Genes affected
FOXP2 (HGNC:13875): (forkhead box P2) This gene encodes a member of the forkhead/winged-helix (FOX) family of transcription factors. It is expressed in fetal and adult brain as well as in several other organs such as the lung and gut. The protein product contains a FOX DNA-binding domain and a large polyglutamine tract and is an evolutionarily conserved transcription factor, which may bind directly to approximately 300 to 400 gene promoters in the human genome to regulate the expression of a variety of genes. This gene is required for proper development of speech and language regions of the brain during embryogenesis, and may be involved in a variety of biological pathways and cascades that may ultimately influence language development. Mutations in this gene cause speech-language disorder 1 (SPCH1), also known as autosomal dominant speech and language disorder with orofacial dyspraxia. Multiple alternative transcripts encoding different isoforms have been identified in this gene.[provided by RefSeq, Feb 2010]

Based on the classification scheme VCGS_Germline_v1.3.4, this variant is classified as Pathogenic. Following criteria are met: 0102 - Loss of function is a known mechanism of disease in this gene and is associated with speech-language disorder-1 (MIM#602081). (I) 0107 - This gene is associated with autosomal dominant disease. (I) 0201 - Variant is predicted to cause nonsense-mediated decay (NMD) and loss of protein (premature termination codon is located at least 54 nucleotides upstream of the final exon-exon junction). (SP) 0251 - This variant is heterozygous. (I) 0301 - Variant is absent from gnomAD (both v2 and v3). (SP) 0701 - Other NMD predicted variants comparable to the one identified in this case have very strong previous evidence for pathogenicity (DECIPHER). (SP) 0802 - This variant has moderate previous evidence of pathogenicity in unrelated individuals. This variant has been reported in two families with speech and language difficulties, and once by a clinical laboratory in ClinVar (PMID: 15877281, 27572252). (SP) 1208 - Inheritance information for this variant is not currently available in this individual. (I) Legend: (SP) - Supporting pathogenic, (I) - Information, (SB) - Supporting benign

The c.982C>T (p.R328*) alteration, located in exon 7 (coding exon 6) of the FOXP2 gene, consists of a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 982. This changes the amino acid from an arginine (R) to a stop codon at amino acid position 328. This alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. Based on data from the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD), the FOXP2 c.982C>T alteration was not observed, with coverage at this position. This alteration has been reported to co-segregate with disease in two families in which the probands presented with severe speech delay and language disabilities. In addition, variable expressivity was observed in the heterozygous mothers in both families (MacDermot, 2005; Reuter, 2017). In vitro functional studies demonstrated that protein with this alteration lacks DNA binding, transactivation activity, correct nuclear localization, dimerization, and normal protein interactions (Estruch, 2016; Vernes, 2006). Based on the available evidence, this alteration is classified as pathogenic.
