Genes affected

FLCN (HGNC:27310): (folliculin) This gene is located within the Smith-Magenis syndrome region on chromosome 17. Mutations in this gene are associated with Birt-Hogg-Dube syndrome, which is characterized by fibrofolliculomas, renal tumors, lung cysts, and pneumothorax. Alternative splicing of this gene results in two transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Uncertain:4

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Baylor Genetics	Aug 23, 2023	- -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Baylor Genetics	May 25, 2021	This variant was determined to be of uncertain significance according to ACMG Guidelines, 2015 [PMID:25741868]. -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp	Jan 13, 2024	This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 362 of the FLCN protein (p.Arg362Cys). This variant is present in population databases (rs557336321, gnomAD 0.003%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with renal cell carcinoma (PMID: 35441217). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 485585). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt FLCN protein function with a negative predictive value of 80%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects FLCN function (PMID: 21538689, 33137092). 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. -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Illumina Laboratory Services, Illumina	Apr 28, 2017	This variant was observed as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (where applicable). No publications were found based on this search. Allele frequency data from public databases did not allow this variant to be ruled in or out of causing disease. Therefore, this variant is classified as a variant of unknown significance. -

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	GeneDx	Jan 21, 2024	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 an individual with clear cell renal carcinoma in published literature (PMID: 35441217); Published functional studies suggest a damaging impact on protein levels and stability (PMID: 33137092); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 21538689, 24755471, 17028174, 35441217, 33137092, 32091409) -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Quest Diagnostics Nichols Institute San Juan Capistrano	Jul 26, 2023	In the published literature, this variant has been reported in an individual with renal cell carcinoma (PMID: 35441217 (2022)). Functional studies have reported this variant has a damaging effect on protein function (PMID: 21538689 (2011), 33137092 (2020)). The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.000027 (3/113102 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 conflicting predictions that this variant is benign or damaging. Based on the available information, we are unable to determine the clinical significance of this variant. -

The FLCN c.1084C>T variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Arg362Cys. This variant has been reported in an individual with breast cancer (Chen et al. 2020. PubMed ID: 32091409). In silico structural analyese and experimental studies using a yeast based assay suggest this variant may impact protein function (Clausen et al. 2020. PubMed ID: 33137092). This variant is reported in 0.0027% of alleles in individuals of European (Non-Finnish) descent in gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/variant/17-17120475-G-A) and is interpreted as uncertain significance in ClinVar (https://preview.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/485585/). At this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -

This alteration is classified as 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. -
