Genes affected
FLNC (HGNC:3756): (filamin C) This gene encodes one of three related filamin genes, specifically gamma filamin. These filamin proteins crosslink actin filaments into orthogonal networks in cortical cytoplasm and participate in the anchoring of membrane proteins for the actin cytoskeleton. Three functional domains exist in filamin: an N-terminal filamentous actin-binding domain, a C-terminal self-association domain, and a membrane glycoprotein-binding domain. Mutations in this gene are a cause of cardiopathy. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, May 2022]

The c.4926_4927insACGTCACA pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 28 of the FLNC gene, results from an insertion of 8 nucleotides at position 4926, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.V1643Tfs*26). This mutation was reported in a dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) cohort with limited clinical details provided (Morales A et al. Circ: Genom Precis Med. 2020 04;13:e002480). This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Based on the supporting evidence, this variant is expected to be causative of FLNC-related dilated cardiomyopathy; however, its clinical significance for FLNC-related hypertrophy/restrictive cardiomyopathy and/or skeletal myopathy is unclear. -

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Val1643Thrfs*26) in the FLNC gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in FLNC are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 27908349). This variant is present in population databases (no rsID available, gnomAD 0.0009%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with FLNC-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 478128). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
