Genes affected

FLCN (HGNC:27310): (folliculin) This gene is located within the Smith-Magenis syndrome region on chromosome 17. Mutations in this gene are associated with Birt-Hogg-Dube syndrome, which is characterized by fibrofolliculomas, renal tumors, lung cysts, and pneumothorax. Alternative splicing of this gene results in two transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

ENSG00000264187 (HGNC:):

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 14 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Splicing +-2 bp (donor or acceptor) variant, product NOT destroyed by NMD, known LOF gene, truncates exone, which is 0.15689655 fraction of the gene. Cryptic splice site detected, with MaxEntScore 4.5, offset of 38, new splice context is: gcaGTaggt. Cryptic site results in frameshift change. If cryptic site found is not functional and variant results in exon loss, it results in inframe change.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 17-17227888-C-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr17-17227888-C-A is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 409384.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars. Variant chr17-17227888-C-A is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The c.249+1G>T intronic pathogenic mutation results from a G to T substitution one nucleotide after coding exon 1 of the FLCN gene. This variant has been reported in family with Birt-Hogg-Dube syndrome (BHDS) (Liu Y et al. Orphanet J Rare Dis. 2017 05;12:104. This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). This nucleotide position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In silico splice site analysis predicts that this alteration will weaken the native splice donor site and may result in the creation or strengthening of a novel splice donor site. In addition to the clinical data presented in the literature, alterations that disrupt the canonical splice site are expected to cause aberrant splicing, resulting in an abnormal protein or a transcript that is subject to nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. As such, this alteration is classified as a disease-causing mutation. -

Significance: Likely pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change affects a donor splice site in intron 4 of the FLCN gene. It is expected to disrupt mRNA splicing and likely results in an absent or disrupted protein product. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency) and has not been reported in the literature in individuals with an FLCN-related disease. In summary, donor and acceptor splice site variants are typically truncating (PMID: 16199547), and truncating variants in FLCN are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 15852235). However, without additional functional and/or genetic data, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. -
