Our verdict is Uncertain significance. The variant received 4 ACMG points: 5P and 1B. PM1 PM2 PP2 BP4

The NM_000143.4(FH):​c.1306G>A​(p.Val436Met) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.000000684 in 1,461,760 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. V436L) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

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.

ACMG classification

Our verdict: Uncertain_significance. The variant received 4 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a hotspot region, there are 2 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 2 benign, 11 uncertain in NM_000143.4
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP2: Missense variant in the gene, where a lot of missense mutations are associated with disease in ClinVar. The gene has 132 curated pathogenic missense variants (we use a threshold of 10). The gene has 17 curated benign missense variants. Gene score misZ: 1.2708 (below the threshold of 3.09). Trascript score misZ: 2.0634 (below the threshold of 3.09). GenCC associations: The gene is linked to fumaric aciduria, hereditary leiomyomatosis and renal cell cancer, hereditary pheochromocytoma-paraganglioma, leiomyosarcoma, pheochromocytoma-paraganglioma.
• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (MetaRNN=0.40357566).

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change replaces valine, which is neutral and non-polar, with methionine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 436 of the FH protein (p.Val436Met). This variant is present in population databases (no rsID available, gnomAD 0.0009%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with FH-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 818870). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt FH protein function. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The p.V436M variant (also known as c.1306G>A), located in coding exon 9 of the FH gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 1306. The valine at codon 436 is replaced by methionine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This amino acid position is well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, the in silico prediction for this alteration is inconclusive. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
