Genes affected
FLNC (HGNC:3756): (filamin C) This gene encodes one of three related filamin genes, specifically gamma filamin. These filamin proteins crosslink actin filaments into orthogonal networks in cortical cytoplasm and participate in the anchoring of membrane proteins for the actin cytoskeleton. Three functional domains exist in filamin: an N-terminal filamentous actin-binding domain, a C-terminal self-association domain, and a membrane glycoprotein-binding domain. Mutations in this gene are a cause of cardiopathy. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, May 2022]

The p.R879C variant (also known as c.2635C>T), located in coding exon 17 of the FLNC gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 2635. The arginine at codon 879 is replaced by cysteine, an amino acid with highly dissimilar properties. This variant was reported in individual(s) in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and dilated cardiomyopathy cohorts (Smith E et al. J Am Heart Assoc, 2022 May;11:e024501; Chumakova OS et al. Genes (Basel), 2023 Nov;14:[ePub ahead of print]; Bonaventura J et al. J Am Heart Assoc, 2024 May;13:e033565Perret C et al. Clin Genet, 2024 Feb;105:185-189; Koutsofti C et al. Genes (Basel), 2024 Feb;15:[ePub ahead of print]). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, the in silico prediction for this alteration is inconclusive. Based on the available evidence, the clinical significance of this variant remains unclear. -

Variant summary: FLNC c.2635C>T (p.Arg879Cys) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00012 in 245752 control chromosomes. The observed variant frequency is approximately 16 fold of the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in FLNC causing Dilated Cardiomyopathy phenotype (7.8e-06), strongly suggesting that the variant is benign. To our knowledge, no occurrence of c.2635C>T in individuals affected with Dilated Cardiomyopathy and no experimental evidence demonstrating its impact on protein function have been reported. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 472016). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely benign. -
