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]
CCDST (HGNC:55988): (cervical cancer associated DHX9 suppressive transcript)

Significance:Pathogenic
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This c.94G>T (p.Glu32*) variant in the FLG gene has been reported in ClinVar (SCV000330388.2) and has been observed in 5 heterozygous individuals in the ExAC database (http://exac.broadinstitute.org/variant/1-152287839-C-A). This c.94G>T creates a stop codon at amino acid position 32 of the FLG gene (p.Glu32*), which is predicted to disrupt the function of the protein. Loss of function variants are disease-causing but the disorder is considered semidominant. Thus, heterozygous individuals may show a mild phenotype with incomplete penetrance. It is thus interpreted as a pathogenic variant with incomplete penetrance. -

Illumina Laboratory Services, Illumina
Significance:Likely pathogenic
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The FLG c.94G>T (p.Glu32Ter) variant is a stop-gained variant that is predicted to result in a premature termination of the protein. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change. No publications were found based on this search. This variant is reported at a frequency of 0.000264 in the European (non-Finnish) population of the Genome Aggregation Database. This allele frequency is high but is consistent with reduced penetrance and disease prevalence estimates. Based on the potential impact of truncating variants and application of ACMG criteria, the p.Glu32Ter variant is classified as likely pathogenic for FLG-related disorders. -

Collection Method:clinical testing

The FLG c.94G>T variant is predicted to result in premature protein termination (p.Glu32*). This variant has been reported in the compound heterozygous state in an individual with an asthma/eczema phenotypes in addition to neurological features unrelated to FLG (Patient 10a, Table S2, Torti et al. 2019. PubMed ID: 30739909; Furthermore, loss of function variants in FLG are expected to be pathogenic (Smith et al. 2006. PubMed ID: 16444271; Kawasaki et al. 2012. PubMed ID: 22409988). This variant is reported in 0.026% of alleles in individuals of European (Non-Finnish) descent in gnomAD. Nonsense variants in FLG are expected to be pathogenic. This variant is interpreted as likely pathogenic. -

Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp
Significance:Pathogenic
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change results in a premature translational stop signal in the FLG gene (p.Glu32*). While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to delete the last 4030 amino acids (>99%) of the FLG protein. This variant is present in population databases (rs114733570, ExAC 0.03%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with FLG-related disease. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 280469). Loss-of-function variants in FLG are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 16444271, 22409988). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
