Genes affected

FIG4 (HGNC:16873): (FIG4 phosphoinositide 5-phosphatase) The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the SAC domain-containing protein gene family. The SAC domain, approximately 400 amino acids in length and consisting of seven conserved motifs, has been shown to possess phosphoinositide phosphatase activity. The yeast homolog, Sac1p, is involved in the regulation of various phosphoinositides, and affects diverse cellular functions such as actin cytoskeleton organization, Golgi function, and maintenance of vacuole morphology. Membrane-bound phosphoinositides function as signaling molecules and play a key role in vesicle trafficking in eukaryotic cells. Mutations in this gene have been associated with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, type 4J. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

The c.2036G>A (p.R679Q) alteration is located in exon 18 (coding exon 18) of the FIG4 gene. This alteration results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 2036, causing the arginine (R) at amino acid position 679 to be replaced by a glutamine (Q). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear.

Significance:Uncertain significance

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (SIFT, PolyPhen-2, Align-GVGD) all suggest that this variant is likely to be tolerated. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 567329). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with FIG4-related conditions. This variant is present in population databases (rs192447225, gnomAD 0.007%). This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with glutamine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 679 of the FIG4 protein (p.Arg679Gln).
