Genetic Variant FAH:p.Gln279ArgfsTer25 (chr15-80173141-GC-G) – ACMG Classification: Pathogenic (11 pts)

Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 11 ACMG points: 11P and 0B. PVS1PM2PP5

The NM_000137.4(FAH):c.835delC(p.Gln279ArgfsTer25) variant causes a frameshift, splice region change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.000000684 in 1,461,894 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. 1/1 splice prediction tools predict no significant impact on normal splicing. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic (no stars). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. Q279Q) has been classified as Uncertain significance. Variant results in nonsense mediated mRNA decay.
