Genes affected

FH (HGNC:3700): (fumarate hydratase) The protein encoded by this gene is an enzymatic component of the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle, or Krebs cycle, and catalyzes the formation of L-malate from fumarate. It exists in both a cytosolic form and an N-terminal extended form, differing only in the translation start site used. The N-terminal extended form is targeted to the mitochondrion, where the removal of the extension generates the same form as in the cytoplasm. It is similar to some thermostable class II fumarases and functions as a homotetramer. Mutations in this gene can cause fumarase deficiency and lead to progressive encephalopathy.

ACMG classification

Our verdict: Pathogenic. The variant received 18 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Splicing +-2 bp (donor or acceptor) variant, LoF is a know mechanism of disease, No cryptic splice site detected. Exon removal results in frameshift change.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 1-241502442-C-G is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr1-241502442-C-G is described in ClinVar as Pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 429188.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

The FH c.1236+1G>C variant disrupts a canonical splice-donor site and interferes with normal FH mRNA splicing. This variant has not been reported in individuals with FH-related conditions in the published literature. This variant has not been reported in large, multi-ethnic general populations (Genome Aggregation Database, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org). Based on the available information, this variant is classified as pathogenic.

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change affects a donor splice site in intron 8 of the FH gene. It is expected to disrupt RNA splicing. Variants that disrupt the donor or acceptor splice site typically lead to a loss of protein function (PMID: 16199547), and loss-of-function variants in FH are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 11865300, 21398687). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individuals with clinical features of hereditary leiomyomatosis and renal cell cancer (Invitae). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 429188). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The c.1236+1G>C intronic pathogenic mutation results from a G to C substitution one nucleotide after coding exon 8 of the FH gene. This mutation has been identified in an individual meeting diagnostic criteria for hereditary leiomyomatosis and renal cell cancer (HLRCC) (Ambry internal data). This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). In silico splice site analysis predicts that this alteration will weaken the native splice donor site. Alterations that disrupt the canonical splice site are expected to cause aberrant splicing, resulting in an abnormal protein or a transcript that is subject to nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. As such, this alteration is classified as pathogenic.
