This sequence change affects a donor splice site in intron 7 of the FH gene. RNA analysis indicates that disruption of this splice site induces altered splicing and likely results in a shortened protein product. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individuals with clinical features of hereditary leiomyomatosis and renal cell cancer (PMID: 33063682; internal data). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 372365). Studies have shown that disruption of this splice site results in skipping of exon 7 , but is expected to preserve the integrity of the reading-frame (internal data). This variant disrupts a region of the FH protein in which other variant(s) (p.Ser366Asn) have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 12761039, 12772087, 16237213; internal data). This suggests that this is a clinically significant region of the protein, and that variants that disrupt it are likely to be disease-causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
The c.1108+1G>T splice site variant in the FH gene has not been reported previously as a pathogenic variant, nor as a benign variant, to our knowledge. This variant destroys the canonical splice donor site in intron 7. It is predicted to cause abnormal gene splicing, either leading to an abnormal message that is subject to nonsense-mediated mRNA decay, or to an abnormal protein product if the message is used for protein translation. Based on currently available evidence, c.1108+1G>T is a strong candidate for a pathogenic variant. However, the possibility it may be a rare benign variant cannot be excluded. -
The FH c.1108+1G>T variant disrupts a canonical splice-donor site and is predicted to interfere with normal FH mRNA splicing, resulting in the in-frame skipping of exon 7 which removes >10% of the coding sequences of the FH protein and is expected to have an impact on protein function. In the published literature, this variant has been reported in individuals with breast cancer (PMID: 34196900 (2021)) and hereditary leiomyomatosis and renal cell cancer (HLRCC) (PMID: 33063682 (2021)). This variant has not been reported in large, multi-ethnic general populations (Genome Aggregation Database, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org). Based on the available information, this variant is classified as likely pathogenic. -
Hereditary leiomyomatosis and renal cell cancer Pathogenic:1
This variant is considered likely pathogenic. This variant occurs within a consensus splice junction and is predicted to result in abnormal mRNA splicing of either an out-of-frame exon or an in-frame exon necessary for protein stability and/or normal function. -
Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Pathogenic:1
The c.1108+1G>T intronic pathogenic mutation results from a G to T substitution one nucleotide after coding exon 7 of the FH gene. This alteration has been observed multiple individuals who have a personal or family history that is consistent with FH-associated disease (Ambry internal data; Personal communication; Seo JY et al. Ann Lab Med 2021 Mar;41(2):207-213). RNA studies have demonstrated that this alteration results in abnormal splicing in the set of samples tested (Ambry internal data). This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). As such, this alteration is classified as a disease-causing mutation. -
FH-related disorder Pathogenic:1
This variant affects the canonical splice donor site of intron 7 and is therefore predicted to interfere with splicing and result in loss of normal protein function through either protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD). This variant has not been previously reported or functionally characterized in the literature to our knowledge. It is absent from the gnomAD population database and thus is presumed to be rare. Based on the available evidence, the c.1108+1G>T variant is classified as Pathogenic. -
