Genes affected

FH (HGNC:3700): (fumarate hydratase) The protein encoded by this gene is an enzymatic component of the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle, or Krebs cycle, and catalyzes the formation of L-malate from fumarate. It exists in both a cytosolic form and an N-terminal extended form, differing only in the translation start site used. The N-terminal extended form is targeted to the mitochondrion, where the removal of the extension generates the same form as in the cytoplasm. It is similar to some thermostable class II fumarases and functions as a homotetramer. Mutations in this gene can cause fumarase deficiency and lead to progressive encephalopathy.

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 87 of the FH protein (p.Arg87Cys). This variant is present in population databases (rs139642944, gnomAD 0.02%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with FH-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 405936). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt FH protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. 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. -

Ambry Genetics

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The p.R87C variant (also known as c.259C>T), located in coding exon 2 of the FH gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 259. The arginine at codon 87 is replaced by cysteine, an amino acid with highly dissimilar properties. This variant has been detected in multiple individuals with no reported features of FH-associated disease (Ambry internal data). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Based on the available evidence, the clinical significance of this variant remains unclear. -
