Genes affected

FDFT1 (HGNC:3629): (farnesyl-diphosphate farnesyltransferase 1) This gene encodes a membrane-associated enzyme located at a branch point in the mevalonate pathway. The encoded protein is the first specific enzyme in cholesterol biosynthesis, catalyzing the dimerization of two molecules of farnesyl diphosphate in a two-step reaction to form squalene.

FDFT1 Gene-Disease associations (from GenCC):

• retinitis pigmentosa

  Inheritance: AR Classification: LIMITED Submitted by: G2P
• squalene synthase deficiency

  Inheritance: AR Classification: LIMITED Submitted by: Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Ambry Genetics, G2P

ACMG classification

Our verdict: Likely_benign. The variant received -2 ACMG points.

• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (BayesDel_noAF=-1.0).
