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]

Significance:Uncertain significance

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

Based on the classification scheme VCGS_Germline_v1.3.4, this variant is classified as VUS-3B. Following criteria are met: 0103 - Loss of function and gain of function are known mechanisms of disease in this gene. Null variants are enriched in dilated cardiomyopathy and distal myopathy cohorts (MIM#614065), while missense variants mainly in the ROD2 domain, are enriched in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, familial (HCM) (MIM#617047), restrictive cardiomyopathy, familial (MIM#617047) and myofibrillar myopathy (MIM#609524) (PMID: 32112656) cohorts. (I) 0107 - This gene is associated with autosomal dominant disease. (I) 0200 - Variant is predicted to result in a missense amino acid change from tryptophan to arginine. However, this variant is close to the intron-exon junction and may have an effect on splicing. (I) 0219 - This variant is non-coding in an alternative transcript. This variant is coding in the ClinVar predominant transcript (NM_001458), but is deep intronic within another transcript (NM_001127487) which is highly expressed in cardiac tissue (GTex). (I) 0251 - This variant is heterozygous. (I) 0302 - Variant is present in gnomAD (v3) <0.001 for a dominant condition (21 heterozygotes, 0 homozygotes). (SP) 0501 - Missense variant consistently predicted to be damaging by multiple in silico tools or highly conserved with a major amino acid change. This nucleotide is highly conserved, but in silico tools were inconclusive in predicting an effect on splicing. (SP) 0600 - Variant is located in the annotated ROD2 domain (PMID: 32112656). (I) 0705 - No comparable missense variants have previous evidence for pathogenicity. (I) 0809 - Previous evidence of pathogenicity for this variant is inconclusive. This variant has been previously reported several times as a VUS, where one individual was reported to have HCM (LOVD, ClinVar). It has also been observed once each in an individual with frontotemporal dementia, and the control cohort (PMID: 26555887). (I) 0905 - No published segregation evidence has been identified for this variant. (I) 1007 - No published functional evidence has been identified for this variant. (I) 1208 - Inheritance information for this variant is not currently available in this individual. (I) Legend: (SP) - Supporting pathogenic, (I) - Information, (SB) - Supporting benign -

Collection Method:clinical testing

The p.W1766R variant (also known as c.5296T>C), located in coding exon 31 of the FLNC gene, results from a T to C substitution at nucleotide position 5296. The tryptophan at codon 1766 is replaced by arginine, an amino acid with dissimilar properties. This alteration was reported in a subject with frontotemporal dementia as well as in a control subject (Janssens J et al. Acta Neuropathol Commun, 2015 Nov;3:68). This alteration was also reported in a hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) cohort (Robyns T et al. Eur J Med Genet, 2020 Mar;63:103754). 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. -

Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces tryptophan, which is neutral and slightly polar, with arginine, which is basic and polar, at codon 1766 of the FLNC protein (p.Trp1766Arg). This variant is present in population databases (rs751650734, gnomAD 0.01%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (PMID: 31513939). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 472101). An algorithm developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (PolyPhen-2) suggests that this variant¬¨‚Ä†is likely to be tolerated. 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. -
