This sequence change replaces isoleucine, which is neutral and non-polar, with phenylalanine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 116 of the FH protein (p.Ile116Phe). This variant is present in population databases (rs201532589, gnomAD 0.01%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with renal cancer (PMID: 35441217). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 41582). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt FH protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; Observed in individuals with breast and other cancers, as well as an individual with pheochromocytoma/paraganglioma but also in unaffected controls (PMID: 28873162, 29684080, 36773955, 35441217); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 29684080, 28873162, 22703879, 36773955, 35441217, Melli2025[CaseReport]) -
The FH c.346A>T (p.Ile116Phe) variant has been reported in the published literature in individuals with renal cell carcinoma (PMID: 35441217 (2022)), paraganglioma (PGL) and pheochromocytoma (PCC) (PMID: 36773955 (2023)), unaffected individuals (PMID: 36773955 (2023)), and individuals undergoing genetic testing (PMIDs: 22703879 (2012), 28873162 (2017)). The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.000077 (10/129168 chromosomes (Genome Aggregation Database, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org)), is uninformative in the assessment of its pathogenicity. Analysis of this variant using bioinformatics tools for the prediction of the effect of amino acid changes on protein structure and function yielded predictions that this variant is damaging. Based on the available information, we are unable to determine the clinical significance of this variant. -

Fumarase deficiency    Uncertain:3 
This variant was observed in the ICSL laboratory as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. It had not been previously curated by ICSL or reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database (HGMD: prior to June 1st, 2018), and was therefore a candidate for classification through an automated scoring system. Utilizing variant allele frequency, disease prevalence and penetrance estimates, and inheritance mode, an automated score was calculated to assess if this variant is too frequent to cause the disease. Based on the score, this variant could not be ruled out of causing disease and therefore its association with disease required further investigation. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (if applicable). No publications were found based on this search. This variant was therefore classified as a variant of unknown significance for this disease. -

Hereditary leiomyomatosis and renal cell cancer    Benign:2 
This variant was observed in the ICSL laboratory as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. It had not been previously curated by ICSL or reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database (HGMD: prior to June 1st, 2018), and was therefore a candidate for classification through an automated scoring system. Utilizing variant allele frequency, disease prevalence and penetrance estimates, and inheritance mode, an automated score was calculated to assess if this variant is too frequent to cause the disease. Based on the score and internal cut-off values, a variant classified as likely benign is not then subjected to further curation. The score for this variant resulted in a classification of likely benign for this disease. -
This variant is considered likely benign. This variant has been observed at a population frequency that is significantly greater than expected given the associated disease prevalence and penetrance. -
FH-related disorder    Uncertain:1 
The FH c.346A>T variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Ile116Phe. This variant was reported in an individual with renal cell carcinoma (Supplementary Table 1B. Yngvadottir et al 2022. PubMed ID: 35441217). This variant is reported in 0.0077% of alleles in individuals of European (Non-Finnish) descent in gnomAD. This variant has interpretations ranging from likely benign to uncertain significance in ClinVar (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/41582/). At this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -
Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome    Benign:1 
This alteration is classified as likely benign based on a combination of the following: seen in unaffected individuals, population frequency, intact protein function, lack of segregation with disease, co-occurrence, RNA analysis, in silico models, amino acid conservation, lack of disease association in case-control studies, and/or the mechanism of disease or impacted region is inconsistent with a known cause of pathogenicity. -
