Genes affected

FOXL2 (HGNC:1092): (forkhead box L2) This gene encodes a forkhead transcription factor. The protein contains a fork-head DNA-binding domain and may play a role in ovarian development and function. Expansion of a polyalanine repeat region and other mutations in this gene are a cause of blepharophimosis syndrome and premature ovarian failure 3. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2016]

FOXL2 Gene-Disease associations (from GenCC):

• blepharophimosis, ptosis, and epicanthus inversus syndrome

  Inheritance: AD Classification: DEFINITIVE, STRONG Submitted by: Ambry Genetics, Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), G2P
• premature ovarian failure 3

  Inheritance: Unknown Classification: LIMITED Submitted by: Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae)

ACMG classification

Our verdict: Likely_pathogenic. The variant received 9 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a hotspot region, there are 7 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 0 benign, 4 uncertain in NM_023067.4
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP2: Missense variant in the gene, where a lot of missense mutations are associated with disease in ClinVar. The gene has 31 curated pathogenic missense variants (we use a threshold of 10). The gene has 3 curated benign missense variants. Trascript score misZ: -0.80149 (below the threshold of 3.09). GenCC associations: The gene is linked to blepharophimosis, ptosis, and epicanthus inversus syndrome, premature ovarian failure 3.
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.97
