NM_001159702.3:c.283C>T
Variant summary
Our verdict is Benign. The variant received -18 ACMG points: 2P and 20B. PM1BP4_StrongBP6_Very_StrongBS1BS2
The NM_001159702.3(FHL1):c.283C>T(p.Arg95Trp) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.000322 in 1,208,800 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, including 1 homozygotes. There are 151 hemizygotes in GnomAD. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Likely benign (★★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. R95Q) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

Variant summary: FHL1 c.283C>T (p.Arg95Trp) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the Zinc finger, LIM-type domain (IPR001781) of the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00068 in 182189 control chromosomes with 1 homozygote and 42 hemizygotes (gnomAD). The variant occurred predominantly at a frequency of 0.013 within the Ashkenazi Jewish subpopulation in the gnomAD database, including 35 hemizygotes. The observed variant frequency within Ashkenazi Jewish control individuals in the gnomAD database is approximately 34 fold of the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in FHL1 causing Emery-Dreifuss Muscular Dystrophy phenotype (0.00039), strongly suggesting that the variant is a benign polymorphism found primarily in populations of Ashkenazi Jewish origin. c.283C>T has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with peripheral neuropathy and muscle weakness (Selcen_ 2011), pediatric cardiomyopathy (Kuhnisch_2019) and hypoparathyroidism (Pillar_2017). These reports do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Emery-Dreifuss Muscular Dystrophy. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Three ClinVar submitters have assessed the variant since 2014: two classified the variant as likely benign and one as benign. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely benign. -

FHL1-related disorder    Benign:1 
This variant is classified as likely benign based on ACMG/AMP sequence variant interpretation guidelines (Richards et al. 2015 PMID: 25741868, with internal and published modifications). -
Cardiovascular phenotype    Benign:1 
This alteration is classified as benign based on a combination of the following: seen in unaffected individuals, population frequency, intact protein function, lack of segregation with disease, co-occurrence, RNA analysis, in silico models, amino acid conservation, lack of disease association in case-control studies, and/or the mechanism of disease or impacted region is inconsistent with a known cause of pathogenicity. -
