Genes affected
FH (HGNC:3700): (fumarate hydratase) The protein encoded by this gene is an enzymatic component of the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle, or Krebs cycle, and catalyzes the formation of L-malate from fumarate. It exists in both a cytosolic form and an N-terminal extended form, differing only in the translation start site used. The N-terminal extended form is targeted to the mitochondrion, where the removal of the extension generates the same form as in the cytoplasm. It is similar to some thermostable class II fumarases and functions as a homotetramer. Mutations in this gene can cause fumarase deficiency and lead to progressive encephalopathy.

Genetic Services Laboratory, University of Chicago
Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

DNA sequence analysis of the FH gene demonstrated a sequence change in intron 8, c.1237-20_1237-13del. This change does not appear to have been previously described in patients with FH-related disorders and has also not been described in population databases (gnomAD, ExAC). This sequence change is not clearly predicted to have a deleterious effect on splicing based on in silico splice prediction programs. It is possible that this sequence change represents a benign sequence change in the FH gene that has not been identified to date. The functional significance of this sequence change is not known at present and its contribution to the disease phenotype cannot definitively be determined.
