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]

ENSG00000264187 (HGNC:):

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 12 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Splicing +-2 bp (donor or acceptor) variant, LoF is a know mechanism of disease, Cryptic splice site detected, with MaxEntScore 5.6, offset of 10, new splice context is: tgttctccacgctcctgaAGgcg. Cryptic site results in frameshift change. If cryptic site found is not functional and variant results in exon loss, it results in frameshift change.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 17-17221629-C-G is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr17-17221629-C-G is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 241928.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars. Variant chr17-17221629-C-G is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].

This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This sequence change affects an acceptor splice site in intron 7 of the FLCN gene. It is expected to disrupt RNA splicing and likely results in an absent or disrupted protein product. Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of Birt-Hogg-Dube syndrome (PMID: 29157599, 30533232, 28558743). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 241928). Donor and acceptor splice site variants typically lead to a loss of protein function (PMID: 16199547), and loss-of-function variants in FLCN are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 15852235). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
