Genes affected

FOXC1 (HGNC:3800): (forkhead box C1) This gene belongs to the forkhead family of transcription factors which is characterized by a distinct DNA-binding forkhead domain. The specific function of this gene has not yet been determined; however, it has been shown to play a role in the regulation of embryonic and ocular development. Mutations in this gene cause various glaucoma phenotypes including primary congenital glaucoma, autosomal dominant iridogoniodysgenesis anomaly, and Axenfeld-Rieger anomaly.

Ambry Genetics

Significance:Uncertain significance

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

The c.532G>C (p.D178H) alteration is located in exon 1 (coding exon 1) of the FOXC1 gene. This alteration results from a G to C substitution at nucleotide position 532, causing the aspartic acid (D) at amino acid position 178 to be replaced by a histidine (H). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

Jan 21, 2025

Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp

Significance:Uncertain significance

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces aspartic acid, which is acidic and polar, with histidine, which is basic and polar, at codon 178 of the FOXC1 protein (p.Asp178His). This variant is present in population databases (rs751970827, gnomAD 0.03%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with FOXC1-related conditions. This missense change has been observed in at least one individual who was not affected with FOXC1-related conditions (internal data). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 469653). An algorithm developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (PolyPhen-2) suggests that this variant is likely to be disruptive. 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. -
