Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely benign. Variant got -6 ACMG points: 0P and 6B. BP4_Moderate BS2

The ENST00000285071.9(FLCN):​c.976C>T​(p.Pro326Ser) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000547 in 1,461,834 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. 16/21 in silico tools predict a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. P326L) has been classified as Likely benign.

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]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Likely_benign. Variant got -6 ACMG points.

• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (MetaRNN=0.07790995).
• BS2: High AC in GnomAdExome4 at 8 AD gene.

The p.P326S variant (also known as c.976C>T), located in coding exon 6 of the FLCN gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 976. The proline at codon 326 is replaced by serine, an amino acid with similar properties. This amino acid position is not well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be tolerated by in silico analysis. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

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. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function output the following: SIFT: "Tolerated"; PolyPhen-2: "Benign"; Align-GVGD: "Class C0". The serine amino acid residue is found in multiple mammalian species, which suggests that this missense change does not adversely affect protein function. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 409404). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with FLCN-related conditions. This variant is present in population databases (rs751478971, gnomAD 0.0009%). This sequence change replaces proline, which is neutral and non-polar, with serine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 326 of the FLCN protein (p.Pro326Ser). -
