Genes affected

FLG (HGNC:3748): (filaggrin) The protein encoded by this gene is an intermediate filament-associated protein that aggregates keratin intermediate filaments in mammalian epidermis. It is initially synthesized as a polyprotein precursor, profilaggrin (consisting of multiple filaggrin units of 324 aa each), which is localized in keratohyalin granules, and is subsequently proteolytically processed into individual functional filaggrin molecules. Mutations in this gene are associated with ichthyosis vulgaris.[provided by RefSeq, Dec 2009]

The c.4544C>A (p.S1515*) alteration, located in exon 3 (coding exon 2) of the FLG gene, consists of a C to A substitution at nucleotide position 4544. This changes the amino acid from a serine (S) to a stop codon at amino acid position 1515. This variant is not expected to trigger nonsense-mediated mRNA decay, and impacts the last 62.7% of the protein. However, premature stop codons are typically deleterious in nature, the impacted region is critical for protein function, and a significant portion of the protein is affected (Ambry internal data). Based on data from gnomAD, the A allele has an overall frequency of 0.017% (47/282824) total alleles studied. The highest observed frequency was 0.236% (47/19952) of East Asian alleles. This variant has been identified in conjunction with other FLG variants in individuals with features consistent with FLG-related ichthyosis vulgaris (Chen, 2017). Based on the available evidence, this alteration is classified as pathogenic. -
