Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely pathogenic. Variant got 9 ACMG points: 9P and 0B. PM2 PM5 PP3_Strong PP5

The NM_194277.3(FRMD7):c.685C>T(p.Arg229Cys) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.000000935 in 1,069,638 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. There are no hemizygote samples in GnomAD. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. 12/19 in silico tools predict a damaging outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity (no stars). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. R229G) has been classified as Pathogenic.

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Invitae	Mar 01, 2022	This variant disrupts the p.Arg229 amino acid residue in FRMD7. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 17962394). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects FRMD7 function (PMID: 23406872). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (SIFT, PolyPhen-2, Align-GVGD) all suggest that this variant is likely to be disruptive. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 449483). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with congenital motor nystagmus (PMID: 17768376, 28623544). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 229 of the FRMD7 protein (p.Arg229Cys). In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	GeneDx	Jul 10, 2021	Published functional studies demonstrate a damaging effect with reduced R229C mutant protein expression, as compared to wild-type, and dominant-negative inhibition of neurite outgrowth (Watkins et al., 2013); Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (Lek et al., 2016); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 17768376, 23406872, 28623544, 19072571, 27535533, 21904664) -
