Genes affected

FOXG1 (HGNC:3811): (forkhead box G1) This locus encodes a member of the fork-head transcription factor family. The encoded protein, which functions as a transcriptional repressor, is highly expressed in neural tissues during brain development. Mutations at this locus have been associated with Rett syndrome and a diverse spectrum of neurodevelopmental disorders defined as part of the FOXG1 syndrome. This gene is disregulated in many types of cancer and is the target of multiple microRNAs that regulate the proliferation of tumor cells. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2020]

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The FOXG1 c.506delG p.(Gly169AlafsTer23) variant causes a shift in the protein reading frame that is predicted to result in premature termination of the protein. Loss of normal protein function through either protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay is expected. This variant has been identified in a de novo state in individuals with a phenotype consistent with Rett syndrome, congenital variant (Seltzer et al. 2014; Hamdan et al. 2014). This variant is not observed in version 2.1.1 of the Genome Aggregation Database. The variant was identified in a de novo state in the proband. Based on the available evidence, the c.506delG p.(Gly169AlafsTer23) variant is classified as pathogenic for Rett syndrome, congenital variant. -

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Gly169Alafs*23) in the FOXG1 gene. While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the last 321 amino acid(s) of the FOXG1 protein. The frequency data for this variant in the population databases is considered unreliable, as metrics indicate poor data quality at this position in the gnomAD database. This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with epilepsy, gross motor delays and no language abilities (PMID: 24836831). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 471470). This variant disrupts a region of the FOXG1 protein in which other variant(s) (p.Tyr400*) have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 19564653). This suggests that this is a clinically significant region of the protein, and that variants that disrupt it are likely to be disease-causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

The variant results in a shift of the reading frame, and is therefore predicted to result in the loss of a functional protein. Found in at least one patient with expected phenotype for this gene, and found in general population data at a frequency that is consistent with pathogenicity. -
