Genes affected

FHL1 (HGNC:3702): (four and a half LIM domains 1) This gene encodes a member of the four-and-a-half-LIM-only protein family. Family members contain two highly conserved, tandemly arranged, zinc finger domains with four highly conserved cysteines binding a zinc atom in each zinc finger. Expression of these family members occurs in a cell- and tissue-specific mode and these proteins are involved in many cellular processes. Mutations in this gene have been found in patients with Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy. Multiple alternately spliced transcript variants which encode different protein isoforms have been described.[provided by RefSeq, Nov 2009]

For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 469630). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with FHL1-related conditions. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Ser140Leufs*3) in the FHL1 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in FHL1 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 18179888, 19687455, 19716112, 22523091, 24114807). -
