Genes affected

FBXL4 (HGNC:13601): (F-box and leucine rich repeat protein 4) This gene encodes a member of the F-box protein family, which are characterized by an approximately 40 amino acid motif, the F-box. F-box proteins constitute one subunit of modular E3 ubiquitin ligase complexes, called SCF complexes, which function in phosphorylation-dependent ubiquitination. The F-box domain mediates protein-protein interactions and binds directly to S-phase kinase-associated protein 1. In addition to an F-box domain, the encoded protein contains at least 9 tandem leucine-rich repeats. The ubiquitin ligase complex containing the encoded protein may function in cell-cycle control by regulating levels of lysine-specific demethylase 4A. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2013]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 16 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Splicing +-2 bp (donor or acceptor) variant, LoF is a know mechanism of disease, Cryptic splice site detected, with MaxEntScore 3.4, offset of -25, new splice context is: tggGTattt. Cryptic site results in frameshift change. If cryptic site found is not functional and variant results in exon loss, it results in frameshift change.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP3: Splicing scoreres supports a deletorius effect: Scorers claiming Pathogenic: dbscSNV1_ADA, dbscSNV1_RF, max_spliceai. No scorers claiming Uncertain. No scorers claiming Benign.
• PP5: Variant 6-98917373-C-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr6-98917373-C-A is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 437502.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars. Variant chr6-98917373-C-A is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].

The NM_012160.4:c.858+1G>T (NP_036292.2:p.=) [GRCH38: NC_000006.12:g.98917373C>A] variant in FBXL4 gene is interpretated to be a Pathogenic based on ACMG guidelines (PMID: 25741868). This variant has been reported in PMID:27290639 . This variant meets one or more of the following evidence codes reported in the ACMG-guideline. PVS1:This variant is a predcted null variant in FBXL4 where loss of function is a known mechanism of disease. PM2:This variant is absent in key population databases. PM3:Detected in trans with a pathogenic variant for Mitochondrial DNA depletion syndrome 13 which is a recessive disorder. PP4:Patient’s phenotype or family history is highly specific for FBXL4. PP5:Reputable source(s) suggest that the variant is pathogenic. Based on this evidence code ClinGen Pathogenicity Calculator (PMID:28081714) suggested that the variant is Pathogenic. -
