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

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 14 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Splicing +-2 bp (donor or acceptor) variant, product NOT destroyed by NMD, known LOF gene, truncates exone, which is 0.11545988 fraction of the gene. Cryptic splice site detected, with MaxEntScore 5.2, offset of 4, new splice context is: aacattttttctgcgggtAGctg. Cryptic site results in frameshift change. If cryptic site found is not functional and variant results in exon loss, it results in inframe change.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 1-241512145-T-C is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr1-241512145-T-C is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 429178.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars. Variant chr1-241512145-T-C is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change affects an acceptor splice site in intron 3 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 individual(s) with autosomal dominant FH-related conditions (PMID: 21398687, 28300276; internal data). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 429178). 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. -

The c.379-2A>G intronic pathogenic mutation results from an A to G substitution two nucleotides upstream from coding exon 4 in the FH gene. This mutation has been reported in 3 families with HLRCC; additionally, an enzymatic assay demonstrated these individuals have significant decrease in FH activity (Gardie B, et al. J. Med. Genet. 2011 Apr; 48(4):226-34). This variant was not reported in population based cohorts in the following databases: Database of Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (dbSNP), NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project (ESP), and 1000 Genomes Project. In the ESP, this variant was not observed in 6503 samples (13006 alleles) with coverage at this position. This nucleotide position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. Using the BDGP and ESEfinder splice site prediction tools, this alteration is predicted to abolish the native splice acceptor site; however, direct evidence is unavailable. In addition, alterations that disrupt the canonical splice acceptor site are typically deleterious in nature (ACMG Recommendations for Standards for Interpretation and Reporting of Sequence Variations. Revision 2007. Genet Med. 2008;10:294). Based on the available evidence, c.379-2A>G is classified as a pathogenic mutation. -
