Genes affected
FASN (HGNC:3594): (fatty acid synthase) The enzyme encoded by this gene is a multifunctional protein. Its main function is to catalyze the synthesis of palmitate from acetyl-CoA and malonyl-CoA, in the presence of NADPH, into long-chain saturated fatty acids. In some cancer cell lines, this protein has been found to be fused with estrogen receptor-alpha (ER-alpha), in which the N-terminus of FAS is fused in-frame with the C-terminus of ER-alpha.

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

The c.4046G>A (p.R1349Q) alteration is located in exon 23 (coding exon 22) of the FASN gene. This alteration results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 4046, causing the arginine (R) at amino acid position 1349 to be replaced by a glutamine (Q). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

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

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with glutamine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 1349 of the FASN protein (p.Arg1349Gln). This variant is present in population databases (rs139276176, gnomAD 0.02%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with FASN-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 574718). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function output the following: SIFT: "Not Available"; PolyPhen-2: "Benign"; Align-GVGD: "Not Available". The glutamine amino acid residue is found in multiple mammalian species, which suggests that this missense change does not adversely affect protein function. 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. -
