Genes affected

FOXL2 (HGNC:1092): (forkhead box L2) This gene encodes a forkhead transcription factor. The protein contains a fork-head DNA-binding domain and may play a role in ovarian development and function. Expansion of a polyalanine repeat region and other mutations in this gene are a cause of blepharophimosis syndrome and premature ovarian failure 3. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2016]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 14 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product does not undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. Variant is located in the 3'-most exon, not predicted to undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. Fraction of 0.23 CDS is truncated, and there are 0 pathogenic variants in the truncated region.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 3-138945851-T-TGGGGGTGCGGCGGAGGC is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr3-138945851-T-TGGGGGTGCGGCGGAGGC is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 4866.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.His291Argfs*71) in the FOXL2 gene. While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the last 86 amino acid(s) of the FOXL2 protein. The frequency data for this variant in the population databases is considered unreliable, as metrics indicate insufficient coverage at this position in the gnomAD database. This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individuals with blepharophimosis-ptosis-epicanthus inversus syndrome (PMID: 11175783, 28849110, 31048069). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. This variant is also known as 1092_1108dup and c.844_860dup17. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 4866). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
