Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points: 18P and 0B. PM1PM2PM5PP3_StrongPP5_Very_Strong

The NM_000043.6(FAS):​c.778G>A​(p.Asp260Asn) variant causes a missense change. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic (★★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. D260G) has been classified as Likely pathogenic.

Genes affected
FAS (HGNC:11920): (Fas cell surface death receptor) The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the TNF-receptor superfamily. This receptor contains a death domain. It has been shown to play a central role in the physiological regulation of programmed cell death, and has been implicated in the pathogenesis of various malignancies and diseases of the immune system. The interaction of this receptor with its ligand allows the formation of a death-inducing signaling complex that includes Fas-associated death domain protein (FADD), caspase 8, and caspase 10. The autoproteolytic processing of the caspases in the complex triggers a downstream caspase cascade, and leads to apoptosis. This receptor has been also shown to activate NF-kappaB, MAPK3/ERK1, and MAPK8/JNK, and is found to be involved in transducing the proliferating signals in normal diploid fibroblast and T cells. Several alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described, some of which are candidates for nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD). The isoforms lacking the transmembrane domain may negatively regulate the apoptosis mediated by the full length isoform. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2011]

Significance: Pathogenic
Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method: clinical testing

Published functional studies demonstrate a damaging effect by showing significant resistance to FAS-mediated cell death when compared with control and a reduced relative intensity in FADD and caspase-8 compared to control (Kuehn et al., 2011); Not observed in large population cohorts (Lek et al., 2016); In silico analysis, which includes protein predictors and evolutionary conservation, supports a deleterious effect; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 18223337, 21490157) -

Significance: Pathogenic
Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method: clinical testing

Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt FAS protein function. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 1067934). This variant is also known as p.Asp244Asn. This missense change has been observed in individuals with autoimmune lymphoproliferative syndrome (PMID: 18223337, 21490157; Invitae). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change replaces aspartic acid, which is acidic and polar, with asparagine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 260 of the FAS protein (p.Asp260Asn). This variant disrupts the p.Asp260 amino acid residue in FAS. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 9821419, 20935634). 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. -
