Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 10 ACMG points: 10P and 0B. PVS1PP5_Moderate

The NM_001453.3(FOXC1):​c.957delG​(p.Ser320ArgfsTer81) variant causes a frameshift change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000616 in 1,299,640 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. There is a variant allele frequency bias in the population database for this variant (GnomAdExome4), which may indicate mosaicism or somatic mutations in the reference population data. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic (★).

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.

Axenfeld-Rieger syndrome type 3 Pathogenic:1
Nov 19, 2023
Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp
Significance:Pathogenic
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Ser320Argfs*81) in the FOXC1 gene. While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the last 234 amino acid(s) of the FOXC1 protein. The frequency data for this variant in the population databases is considered unreliable, as metrics indicate poor data quality at this position in the gnomAD database. This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with Axenfeld-Rieger syndrome (Invitae). In at least one individual the variant was observed to be de novo. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 537391). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
