Genes affected

FOXC1 (HGNC:3800): (forkhead box C1) This gene belongs to the forkhead family of transcription factors which is characterized by a distinct DNA-binding forkhead domain. The specific function of this gene has not yet been determined; however, it has been shown to play a role in the regulation of embryonic and ocular development. Mutations in this gene cause various glaucoma phenotypes including primary congenital glaucoma, autosomal dominant iridogoniodysgenesis anomaly, and Axenfeld-Rieger anomaly.

ACMG classification

Verdict is Likely_pathogenic. Variant got 9 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a DNA_binding_region Fork-head (size 91) in uniprot entity FOXC1_HUMAN there are 27 pathogenic changes around while only 0 benign (100%) in NM_001453.3
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.991
• PP5: Variant 6-1610833-C-T is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr6-1610833-C-T is described in ClinVar as [Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity]. Clinvar id is 8460.We mark this variant Likely_pathogenic, oryginal submissions are: {Likely_pathogenic=1, Uncertain_significance=1, Pathogenic=1}.

In summary, this is a rare missense change that disrupts protein function in cell culture and has been observed in affected individuals. In the absence of additional genetic data, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. Experimental evidence suggest this variant results in a severely impaired FOXC1 protein that forms aggregates in the cytoplasm, has reduced localization to the nucleus, reduced DNA binding and reduced transactivation ability (PMID: 19279310, 17013732, 17210863). In addition, expression of this variant in human trabecular meshwork cells shows reduced activity and increased cell death compared to expression of wild type FOXC1 protein (PMID: 24556684). This variant has been reported in individuals with Axenfled-Rieger syndrome (PMID: 17197537, 17210863) and it has been shown to arise de novo in one individual (PMID: 17210863). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 8460). This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This sequence change replaces leucine with phenylalanine at codon 130 of the FOXC1 protein (p.Leu130Phe). The leucine residue is highly conserved and there is a small physicochemical difference between leucine and phenylalanine. -
