Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 20 ACMG points: 20P and 0B. PVS1PS3PP5_Very_Strong

The NM_021871.4(FGA):c.502C>T(p.Arg168*) variant causes a stop gained change. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0000149 in 1,613,652 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic (★★). ClinVar reports functional evidence for this variant: "SCV000538028: an in vitro study using the p.Arg168ter variant showed an absence of secreted fibrinogen because of its inability to assemble with the other fibrinogen subunits (Î² and Î³) (Asselta et al., 2001).".

Genes affected

FGA (HGNC:3661): (fibrinogen alpha chain) This gene encodes the alpha subunit of the coagulation factor fibrinogen, which is a component of the blood clot. Following vascular injury, the encoded preproprotein is proteolytically processed by thrombin during the conversion of fibrinogen to fibrin. Mutations in this gene lead to several disorders, including dysfibrinogenemia, hypofibrinogenemia, afibrinogenemia and renal amyloidosis. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants, at least one of which encodes an isoform that undergoes proteolytic processing. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2016]

ACMG classification

Classification was made for transcript

Our verdict: Pathogenic. The variant received 20 ACMG points.

PVS1

Loss of function variant, product does not undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. Variant is located in the 3'-most 50 bp of the penultimate exon, not predicted to undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. There are 34 pathogenic variants in the truncated region.

PS3

PS3 evidence extracted from ClinVar submissions: SCV000538028: an in vitro study using the p.Arg168ter variant showed an absence of secreted fibrinogen because of its inability to assemble with the other fibrinogen subunits (Î² and Î³) (Asselta et al., 2001).

PP5

Variant 4-154587520-G-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr4-154587520-G-A is described in ClinVar as Pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 402230.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.
