Genes affected
FLVCR1 (HGNC:24682): (FLVCR choline and heme transporter 1) This gene encodes a member of the major facilitator superfamily of transporter proteins. The encoded protein is a heme transporter that may play a critical role in erythropoiesis by protecting developing erythroid cells from heme toxicity. This gene may play a role in posterior column ataxia with retinitis pigmentosa and the hematological disorder Diamond-Blackfan syndrome. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2011]

The S553A variant in the FLVCR1 gene has not been reported previously as a pathogenic variant, nor as a benign variant, to our knowledge. Although not present in the homozygous state, the NHLBI ESP Exome Sequencing Project reports S553A was observed with a frequency of 0.23% (10/4406) alleles from individuals of African American background, indicating it may be a rare variant in this population. The S553A variant is a non-conservative amino acid substitution, which is likely to impact secondary protein structure as these residues differ in polarity, charge, size and/or other properties. However, this substitution occurs at a position that is not conserved, and in silico analysis is inconsistent in its predictions as to whether or not the variant is damaging to the protein structure/function. We interpret S553A as a variant of uncertain significance. -

This 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. -

The c.1657T>G (p.S553A) alteration is located in exon 10 (coding exon 10) of the FLVCR1 gene. This alteration results from a T to G substitution at nucleotide position 1657, causing the serine (S) at amino acid position 553 to be replaced by an alanine (A). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
