Genes affected
FLCN (HGNC:27310): (folliculin) This gene is located within the Smith-Magenis syndrome region on chromosome 17. Mutations in this gene are associated with Birt-Hogg-Dube syndrome, which is characterized by fibrofolliculomas, renal tumors, lung cysts, and pneumothorax. Alternative splicing of this gene results in two transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Likely benign, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpAug 31, 2016Variant summary: The FLCN c.977C>T (p.Pro326Leu) variant involves the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. 4/5 in silico tools predict a benign outcome for this variant. This variant was found in 22/121304 control chromosomes at a frequency of 0.0001814, which is approximately 145 times the estimated maximal expected allele frequency of a pathogenic FLCN variant (0.0000013), suggesting this variant is likely a benign polymorphism. However, only 22 allele carriers were reported in this dataset, which is not a large enough number to definitively classify this variant as benign in the absence of other information. The variant of interest has not, to our knowledge, been reported in affected individuals via publications and/or reputable databases/clinical diagnostic laboratories; nor evaluated for functional impact by in vivo/vitro studies. Taken together, this variant is classified as likely benign. -

Benign, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingIllumina Laboratory Services, IlluminaJan 12, 2018This variant was observed in the ICSL laboratory as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. It had not been previously curated by ICSL or reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database (HGMD: prior to June 1st, 2018), and was therefore a candidate for classification through an automated scoring system. Utilizing variant allele frequency, disease prevalence and penetrance estimates, and inheritance mode, an automated score was calculated to assess if this variant is too frequent to cause the disease. Based on the score and internal cut-off values, a variant classified as benign is not then subjected to further curation. The score for this variant resulted in a classification of benign for this disease. -
FLCN-related disorder Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, no assertion criteria providedclinical testingPreventionGenetics, part of Exact SciencesJun 17, 2024The FLCN c.977C>T variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Pro326Leu. To our knowledge, this variant has not been reported in the literature. This variant is reported in 0.021% of alleles in individuals of European (Non-Finnish) descent in gnomAD and has conflicting interpretations regarding its pathogenicity in ClinVar, ranging from benign to uncertain significance (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/322065/). Although we suspect this variant may be benign, at this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -
Familial spontaneous pneumothorax Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingIllumina Laboratory Services, IlluminaJan 12, 2018This variant was observed in the ICSL laboratory as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. It had not been previously curated by ICSL or reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database (HGMD: prior to June 1st, 2018), and was therefore a candidate for classification through an automated scoring system. Utilizing variant allele frequency, disease prevalence and penetrance estimates, and inheritance mode, an automated score was calculated to assess if this variant is too frequent to cause the disease. Based on the score, this variant could not be ruled out of causing disease and therefore its association with disease required further investigation. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (if applicable). No publications were found based on this search. This variant was therefore classified as a variant of unknown significance for this disease. -
Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Benign:1
Likely benign, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsOct 08, 2018This alteration is classified as likely benign based on a combination of the following: seen in unaffected individuals, population frequency, intact protein function, lack of segregation with disease, co-occurrence, RNA analysis, in silico models, amino acid conservation, lack of disease association in case-control studies, and/or the mechanism of disease or impacted region is inconsistent with a known cause of pathogenicity. -
