Genes affected
FGFR3 (HGNC:3690): (fibroblast growth factor receptor 3) This gene encodes a member of the fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) family, with its amino acid sequence being highly conserved between members and among divergent species. FGFR family members differ from one another in their ligand affinities and tissue distribution. A full-length representative protein would consist of an extracellular region, composed of three immunoglobulin-like domains, a single hydrophobic membrane-spanning segment and a cytoplasmic tyrosine kinase domain. The extracellular portion of the protein interacts with fibroblast growth factors, setting in motion a cascade of downstream signals, ultimately influencing mitogenesis and differentiation. This particular family member binds acidic and basic fibroblast growth hormone and plays a role in bone development and maintenance. Mutations in this gene lead to craniosynostosis and multiple types of skeletal dysplasia. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2017]

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingSeattle Children's Hospital Molecular Genetics Laboratory, Seattle Children's Hospital-The c.1172C>A variant, located in exon 9 of FGFR3, results in a substitution of alanine with glutamic acid at position 391 of the protein. This is a recurrent pathogenic variant that has previously been reported in several individuals with Crouzon syndrome with acanthosis nigricans (PMID: 7493034, 8880573, 17935505, 31016899, NBK1455). In these reports, common clinical features include craniosynostosis, ocular proptosis, midface hypoplasia, choanal atresia or stenosis, hydrocephalus, and acanthosis nigricans. Other features such as Chiari malformations, vertebral anomalies, and subtle skeletal findings have also been reported. This variant is absent from large population cohorts (0 of >281,000 alleles; Genome Aggregation Database v2.1). The Ala391Glu change has been experimentally demonstrated to cause an increase in FGFR3 activation by means of FGFR3 dimer stabilization and phosphorylation of critical tyrosines in the FGFR3 activation loop (PMID: 23437153). -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLabcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), LabcorpSep 24, 2023This sequence change replaces alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, with glutamic acid, which is acidic and polar, at codon 391 of the FGFR3 protein (p.Ala391Glu). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individuals with Crouzon syndrome with acanthosis nigricans (CSAN) (PMID: 7493034, 8880573, 11426459, 20199409). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 16329). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) has been performed at Invitae for this missense variant, however the output from this modeling did not meet the statistical confidence thresholds required to predict the impact of this variant on FGFR3 protein function. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects FGFR3 function (PMID: 18976668, 21536014, 23437153). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingGeneDxNov 01, 2021Published functional studies demonstrate a lower expression of the protein in comparison to wild-type and an increase in the phosphorylation level (Chen et al., 2011); Not observed in large population cohorts (Lek et al., 2016); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant does not alter protein structure/function; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 23727984, 9857065, 18976668, 23437153, 21536014, 27228464, 17935505, 27181494, 29620724, 8880573, 31016899, 31837199, 10670894, 7493034, 11426459, 20199409) -
