Genes affected
FXN (HGNC:3951): (frataxin) This nuclear gene encodes a mitochondrial protein which belongs to the FRATAXIN family. The protein functions in regulating mitochondrial iron transport and respiration. The expansion of intronic trinucleotide repeat GAA from 8-33 repeats to >90 repeats results in Friedreich ataxia. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

The FXN c.493C>T variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Arg165Cys. This variant was reported in the compound heterozygous state with a GAA expansion in two individuals with Friedreich ataxia (Forrest et al. 1998. PubMed ID: 10732799; McCormack et al. 2000. PubMed ID: 10766903). This variant has also been reported in the homozygous state in three siblings with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (Candayan et al. 2019. PubMed ID: 31673878), and was shown to impair protein function (Bridwell-Rabb et al. 2011. PubMed ID: 21776984; Clark et al. 2017. PubMed ID: 28812047). This variant has not been reported in a large population database (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org), indicating this variant is rare. This variant is interpreted as likely pathogenic. -
