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:Pathogenic
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with serine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 74 of the FH protein (p.Arg74Ser). This variant is present in population databases (rs146739519, gnomAD 0.002%). This missense change has been observed in individuals with FH-deficient pheochromocytoma or paraganglioma (PMID: 35993574, 36773955; internal data). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 485565). 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%. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Significance:Pathogenic
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The p.R74S pathogenic mutation (also known as c.222A>T), located in coding exon 2 of the FH gene, results from an A to T substitution at nucleotide position 222. The arginine at codon 74 is replaced by serine, an amino acid with dissimilar properties. This alteration has been identified in individuals with a personal and/or family history of paragangliomas or pheochromocytomas (PGL/PCC), including tumors with a loss of fumarate hydratase staining in immunohistochemistry experiments (Ambry internal data; Fuchs TL et al. Am J Surg Pathol 2023 Jan;47(1):25-36; Zavoshi S et al. Urology 2023 Feb.). 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 supporting evidence, this alteration is interpreted as pathogenic in association with PGL/PCC, however its association with other features of hereditary leiomyomatosis and renal cell carcinoma syndrome is unclear. -
