Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 11 ACMG points: 13P and 2B. PS3PP3PP5_Very_StrongBP4BS2_Supporting

The NM_014845.6(FIG4):​c.122T>C​(p.Ile41Thr) variant causes a missense change. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00154 in 1,607,902 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, including 2 homozygotes. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Likely pathogenic (★★). ClinVar reports functional evidence for this variant: "SCV000916118: Functional studies in proband fibroblasts, cultured cells, and yeast demonstrated that the p.Ile41Thr variant leads to low levels of protein due to impaired interaction with the scaffold protein, VAC14, which stabilizes FIG4 and impairs kinase activation (Chow et al. 2007" and additional evidence is available in ClinVar. Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. I41V) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

Genes affected
FIG4 (HGNC:16873): (FIG4 phosphoinositide 5-phosphatase) The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the SAC domain-containing protein gene family. The SAC domain, approximately 400 amino acids in length and consisting of seven conserved motifs, has been shown to possess phosphoinositide phosphatase activity. The yeast homolog, Sac1p, is involved in the regulation of various phosphoinositides, and affects diverse cellular functions such as actin cytoskeleton organization, Golgi function, and maintenance of vacuole morphology. Membrane-bound phosphoinositides function as signaling molecules and play a key role in vesicle trafficking in eukaryotic cells. Mutations in this gene have been associated with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, type 4J. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

ACMG classification

Classification was made for transcript

Our verdict: Pathogenic. The variant received 11 ACMG points.

PS3
PS3 evidence extracted from ClinVar submissions: SCV000916118: Functional studies in proband fibroblasts, cultured cells, and yeast demonstrated that the p.Ile41Thr variant leads to low levels of protein due to impaired interaction with the scaffold protein, VAC14, which stabilizes FIG4 and impairs kinase activation (Chow et al. 2007; Zhang et al. 2008; Ikonomov et al. 2010; Lenk et al. 2011).; SCV001430671: Functional studies in proband fibroblasts, cultured cells, and yeast demonstrate that the p.Ile41Thr substitution leads to low levels of FIG4 protein.; SCV001653109: "In vitro and in vivo functional studies both provide some evidence that this variant impacts protein function (first by de Leeuw 2008 PMID: 18261132) and animal models in mice have shown that this variant causes peripheral neuropathy (Gentil 2017: 28859335)."; SCV002548505: At least one publication reports experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function (Chow_2007). The most pronounced variant effect results in impaired activation of the Fab1/PIKfyve kinase resulting from decreased levels of phosphatidylinositol-3,5-bisphosphate (PtdIns(3,5)P2).; SCV000278978: Published functional studies demonstrate protein instability resulting in low levels of FIG4 protein (Lenk et al., 2011); SCV000603714: In support of this prediction, the p.Ile41Thr variant has been shown to impart instability to FIG4 protein (Ikonomov 2010, Lenk 2011). A FIG4 mouse model created using a null FIG4 allele and transgenic expression of the human p.Ile41Thr protein corroborates the conclusion that protein instability is likely the basis of the pathogenicity of the p.Ile41Thr variant (Lenk 2011, Winters 2011).; SCV000613294: Assessment of experimental evidence suggests this variant results in abnormal protein function. (PMID 21655088); SCV005397435: Multiple functiol studies indicate that the variant protein has decreased function, stability, and ability to interact with scaffold proteins (PMID: 20630877, 21655088, 17572665).; SCV000546063: Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects FIG4 function (PMID: 17572665, 20630877, 21655088).; SCV002061298: "Well-established in vitro or in vivo functional studies support a damaging effect on the gene or gene product ( PMID: 17572665; 21655088) - PS3_moderate."
PP3
Multiple lines of computational evidence support a deleterious effect 8: AlphaMissense, BayesDel_noAF, Eigen, MutationAssessor, PrimateAI, PROVEAN, REVEL, REVEL [when max_spliceai, FATHMM_MKL, MetaRNN, MutationTaster was below the threshold]
PP5
Variant 6-109715133-T-C is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr6-109715133-T-C is described in ClinVar as Pathogenic/Likely_pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 1721.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.
BP4
Computational evidence support a benign effect (MetaRNN=0.12936392). . Strength limited to SUPPORTING due to the PP5.
BS2
High Homozygotes in GnomAdExome4 at 2 AR,AD,Unknown geneVariant has number of homozygotes lower than other variant known as pathogenic in the gene, so the strength is limited to Supporting.
