Genes affected

FBXL4 (HGNC:13601): (F-box and leucine rich repeat protein 4) This gene encodes a member of the F-box protein family, which are characterized by an approximately 40 amino acid motif, the F-box. F-box proteins constitute one subunit of modular E3 ubiquitin ligase complexes, called SCF complexes, which function in phosphorylation-dependent ubiquitination. The F-box domain mediates protein-protein interactions and binds directly to S-phase kinase-associated protein 1. In addition to an F-box domain, the encoded protein contains at least 9 tandem leucine-rich repeats. The ubiquitin ligase complex containing the encoded protein may function in cell-cycle control by regulating levels of lysine-specific demethylase 4A. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2013]

Variant summary: FBXL4 c.1586C>A (p.Ala529Glu) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function are either unavailable or do not agree on the potential impact of this missense change. The variant was absent in 251038 control chromosomes. The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. c.1586C>A has been observed in individual(s) affected with Leigh Syndrome (Morton_2017, Matricardi_2019). These report(s) do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Leigh Syndrome. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 31102535, 27858371). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 437480). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -
