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

Classification made for transcript

Verdict is Likely_benign. Variant got -4 ACMG points.

PVS1

Loss of function variant, product does not undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. Variant is located in the 3'-most exon, not predicted to undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. Fraction of 0.108 CDS is truncated, and there are 1 pathogenic variants in the truncated region.

BS1

Variant frequency is greater than expected in population amr. gnomad4 allele frequency = 0.000591 (90/152318) while in subpopulation AMR AF= 0.00203 (31/15296). AF 95% confidence interval is 0.00147. There are 0 homozygotes in gnomad4. There are 44 alleles in male gnomad4 subpopulation. Median coverage is 32. This position pass quality control queck.

BS2

High AC in GnomAd4 at 90 AD gene.

Significance: Likely benign

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This variant is considered likely benign or benign based on one or more of the following criteria: it is a conservative change, it occurs at a poorly conserved position in the protein, it is predicted to be benign by multiple in silico algorithms, and/or has population frequency not consistent with disease. -
