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

The c.970-5A>G intronic variant results from an A to G substitution 5 nucleotides upstream from coding exon 6 in the FLNC gene. This nucleotide position is poorly conserved in available vertebrate species. In silico splice site analysis predicts that this alteration will not have any significant effect on splicing. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear.
