Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely pathogenic. The variant received 9 ACMG points: 9P and 0B. PVS1PP5

The NM_004463.3(FGD1):​c.527dupC​(p.Leu177ThrfsTer40) variant causes a frameshift change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. There is a variant allele frequency bias in the population database for this variant (GnomAdExome4), which may indicate mosaicism or somatic mutations in the reference population data. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity (no stars). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. P176P) has been classified as Likely benign. Variant results in nonsense mediated mRNA decay.

Genes affected
FGD1 (HGNC:3663): (FYVE, RhoGEF and PH domain containing 1) This gene encodes a protein that contains Dbl (DH) and pleckstrin (PH) homology domains and is similar to the Rho family of small GTP-binding proteins. The encoded protein specifically binds to the Rho family GTPase Cdc42Hs and can stimulate the GDP-GTP exchange of the isoprenylated form of Cdc42Hs. It also stimulates the mitogen activated protein kinase cascade leading to c-Jun kinase SAPK/JNK1 activation. Defects in this gene are the cause of the faciogenital dysplasia in Aarskog-Scott syndrome and a syndromatic form of X-linked cognitive disability. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2017]

The hemizygous p.Leu177ThrfsTer40 variant in FGD1 was identified by our study in one individual with short stature and congenital fibrosis of the extraocular muscles, via a collaborative study between the Broad Institute's Center for Mendelian Genomics and the Engle lab (https://kirbyneuro.org/EngleLab/). The p.Leu177ThrfsTer40 variant in FGD1 has been previously reported in 4 unrelated individuals with Aarskog-Scott syndrome (PMID: 14560308, PMID: 29276006, PMID: 35388608, ClinVar Accession SCV002058304.1) and segregated with disease in 3 affected male relatives from one family, 2 of whom were monozygotic twins (PMID: 14560308). The number of reported affected individuals with this variant is slightly greater than expected compared to non-affected individuals with this variant. Data from large population studies is insufficient to assess the frequency of this variant. This variant has also been reported in ClinVar (Variation ID: 196389) and has been interpreted as pathogenic or likely pathogenic by multiple submitters. This variant is predicted to cause a frameshift, which alters the protein’s amino acid sequence beginning at position 177 and leads to a premature termination codon 40 amino acids downstream. This alteration is then predicted to lead to a truncated or absent protein. Loss of function of the FGD1 gene is an established disease mechanism in X-linked recessive Aarskog-Scott syndrome. In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for X-linked recessive Aarskog-Scott syndrome. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: PVS1, PS4_Moderate, PP1 (Richards 2015). -

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

Frameshift: predicted to result in a loss or disruption of normal protein function through nonsense-mediated decay (NMD) or protein truncation. Multiple pathogenic variants are reported downstream of the variant (PVS1_VS). The variant has been reported at least twice as pathogenic/likely pathogenic with clinical assertions and evidence for the classification (ClinVar ID: VCV000196389, PMID:14560308). It is observed at an extremely low frequency in the gnomAD v2.1.1 dataset (total allele frequency: 0.002315, PM2_M). Therefore, this variant is classified as pathogenic according to the recommendation of ACMG/AMP guideline. -

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Leu177Thrfs*40) in the FGD1 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in FGD1 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 21739585, 23211637, 25046119, 26029706). 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 FGD1-related conditions (PMID: 14560308, 29276006). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 196389). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

The FGD1 c.527dupC variant is predicted to result in a frameshift and premature protein termination (p.Leu177Thrfs*40). This variant was reported in multiple individuals with Aarskog-Scott syndrome (referred to as 528insC in Orrico et al. 2004. PubMed ID: 14560308; White et al. 2017. PubMed ID: 29276006). This variant is reported in 1.5% of alleles in individuals of European (Finnish) descent in gnomAD; however, this variant is located in a region of poor sequence quality making population frequency estimates unreliable (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/variant/X-54497147-T-TG). Frameshift variants in FGD1 are expected to be pathogenic. This variant is interpreted as pathogenic. -
