Genes affected

FUS (HGNC:4010): (FUS RNA binding protein) This gene encodes a multifunctional protein component of the heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein (hnRNP) complex. The hnRNP complex is involved in pre-mRNA splicing and the export of fully processed mRNA to the cytoplasm. This protein belongs to the FET family of RNA-binding proteins which have been implicated in cellular processes that include regulation of gene expression, maintenance of genomic integrity and mRNA/microRNA processing. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. Defects in this gene result in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis type 6. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2009]

The missense variant p.R521H in FUS (NM_004960.4) has been previously reported in affected families (Kwiatkowski, T et al, Vance, C et al). It has been classified as Pathogenic in the ClinVar database. Another substitution affecting the same aminoacid R251C has been reported in multiple families with ALS, based on which the residue can be considered as significant. Functional studies have shown a damaging effect (Vance C et al, 2013). The missense variant c.1562G>A (p.R521H) in FUS (NM_004960.4) is observed in 1/113646 (0.0009%) alleles from individuals of European (Non-Finnish) background in the gnomAD dataset (Exome Aggregation Consortium et al., 2016), but was not seen in the homozygous state. The p.R521H missense variant is predicted to be damaging by both SIFT and PolyPhen2. The nucleotide c.1562 in FUS is predicted conserved by GERP++ and PhyloP across 100 vertebrates. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with histidine, which is basic and polar, at codon 521 of the FUS protein (p.Arg521His). This variant is present in population databases (rs121909671, gnomAD 0.0009%). This missense change has been observed in individuals with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (PMID: 19251627, 22340366, 23217123, 27604643, 28430856). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 16225). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function are either unavailable or do not agree on the potential impact of this missense change (SIFT: "Deleterious"; PolyPhen-2: "Possibly Damaging"; Align-GVGD: "Class C0"). This variant disrupts the p.Arg521 amino acid residue in FUS. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 19251627, 19251628, 20577002, 20621307, 22055719, 22340366, 26500017; Invitae). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
