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 18 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product undergoes nonsense mediated mRNA decay. LoF is a known mechanism of disease.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 17-17224022-ATGATGCTGTACCAGC-CTGAT is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr17-17224022-ATGATGCTGTACCAGC-CTGAT is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 409385.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The c.503_518del16insATCAG pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 3 of the FLCN gene, results from the deletion of 16 nucleotides and the insertion of 5 nucleotides causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon. Since frameshifts are typically deleterious in nature, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation (ACMG Recommendations for Standards for Interpretation and Reporting of Sequence Variations. Revision 2007. Genet Med. 2008;10:294). -

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. Loss-of-function variants in FLCN are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 15852235). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with FLCN-related disease. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 409385). This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg168Hisfs*28) in the FLCN gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. -
