Genes affected
FERMT1 (HGNC:15889): (FERM domain containing kindlin 1) This gene encodes a member of the fermitin family, and contains a FERM domain and a pleckstrin homology domain. The encoded protein is involved in integrin signaling and linkage of the actin cytoskeleton to the extracellular matrix. Mutations in this gene have been linked to Kindler syndrome.

Molecular Genetics, Royal Melbourne Hospital
Significance:Pathogenic
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change in FERMT1 is a nonsense variant predicted to cause a premature stop codon, p.(Arg288*), in biologically-relevant-exon 7/15 leading to nonsense mediated decay in a gene in which loss-of-function is an established disease mechanism (PMID: 26937547). The highest population minor allele frequency in gnomAD v3.1 is 0.002% (1/41,324 alleles) in the African/African American population, which is consistent with recessive disease. This variant has been detected homozygous in at least three individuals with Kindler syndrome from unrelated consanguineous families (PMID: 12789646, 24635075). Based on the classification scheme RMH Modified ACMG Guidelines v1.5.1, this variant is classified as PATHOGENIC. Following criteria are met: PVS1, PM2_Supporting, PM3_Supporting. -

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg288*) in the FERMT1 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in FERMT1 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 14962093, 21936020). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with Kindler syndrome (PMID: 12789646). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 2718). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
