Genes affected
FSCN2 (HGNC:3960): (fascin actin-bundling protein 2, retinal) This gene encodes a member of the fascin protein family. Fascins crosslink actin into filamentous bundles within dynamic cell extensions. This family member is proposed to play a role in photoreceptor disk morphogenesis. A mutation in this gene results in one form of autosomal dominant retinitis pigmentosa and macular degeneration. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

This sequence change replaces valine, which is neutral and non-polar, with isoleucine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 277 of the FSCN2 protein (p.Val277Ile). This variant is present in population databases (rs181420326, gnomAD 0.1%), and has an allele count higher than expected for a pathogenic variant. This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with FSCN2-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 377132). An algorithm developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function outputs the following: PolyPhen-2: "Benign". The isoleucine amino acid residue is found in multiple mammalian species, which suggests that this missense change does not adversely affect protein function. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -

The c.829G>A (p.V277I) alteration is located in exon 2 (coding exon 2) of the FSCN2 gene. This alteration results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 829, causing the valine (V) at amino acid position 277 to be replaced by an isoleucine (I). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
