Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 18 ACMG points: 18P and 0B. PVS1 PM2 PP5_Very_Strong

The NM_001458.5(FLNC):​c.3934_3937dupTACC​(p.Arg1313LeufsTer20) variant causes a frameshift change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Likely pathogenic (★★). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. R1313R) has been classified as Likely benign. Variant results in nonsense mediated mRNA decay.

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]

Frameshift variant predicted to result in protein truncation or nonsense mediated decay in a gene for which loss of function is a known mechanism of disease; Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); Has not been previously published as pathogenic or benign to our knowledge -

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The c.3934_3937dupTACC pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 22 of the FLNC gene, results from a duplication of TACC at nucleotide position 3934, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.R1313Lfs*20). This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). This alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. As such, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation for FLNC-related dilated cardiomyopathy; however, its clinical significance for FLNC-related hypertrophic/restrictive cardiomyopathy and/or skeletal myopathy is uncertain. -

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg1313Leufs*20) 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 not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). 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: 478126). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
