Genes affected
FXN (HGNC:3951): (frataxin) This nuclear gene encodes a mitochondrial protein which belongs to the FRATAXIN family. The protein functions in regulating mitochondrial iron transport and respiration. The expansion of intronic trinucleotide repeat GAA from 8-33 repeats to >90 repeats results in Friedreich ataxia. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

ACMG classification

Classification made for transcript

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 12 ACMG points.

PVS1
Loss of function variant, product does not undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. Variant located near the start codon (<100nt), not predicted to undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. There are 25 pathogenic variants in the truncated region.
PS1
Another start lost variant in NM_000144.5 (FXN) was described as [Pathogenic] in ClinVar as 3983
PM2
Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage;
