Genes affected
FUCA1 (HGNC:4006): (alpha-L-fucosidase 1) The protein encoded by this gene is a lysosomal enzyme involved in the degradation of fucose-containing glycoproteins and glycolipids. Mutations in this gene are associated with fucosidosis (FUCA1D), which is an autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disease. A pseudogene of this locus is present on chr 2.[provided by RefSeq, Oct 2009]

Fucosidosis Pathogenic:3
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpApr 06, 2017Variant summary: The FUCA1 c.1279C>T (p.Gln427X) variant results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncated or absent FUCA1 protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. One in silico tool predicts a damaging outcome for this variant. This variant was found in 2/121354 control chromosomes at a frequency of 0.0000165, which does not exceed the estimated maximal expected allele frequency of a pathogenic FUCA1 variant (0.001118). This variant has been reported in multiple affected individuals with FUCO. In addition, the fibroblast from patients showed negligible enzyme activity and very low CRIM level for a-L-fucosidase (Seo_1993). Taken together, this variant is classified as pathogenic. -
Pathogenic, no assertion criteria providedliterature onlyOMIMJan 01, 1989- -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeJan 19, 2024This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Gln427*) in the FUCA1 gene. While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the last 40 amino acid(s) of the FUCA1 protein. This variant is present in population databases (rs118204450, gnomAD 0.004%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with fucosidosis (PMID: 8401503). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. This variant is also known as Q422X. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 681). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
