Genes affected
FLG (HGNC:3748): (filaggrin) The protein encoded by this gene is an intermediate filament-associated protein that aggregates keratin intermediate filaments in mammalian epidermis. It is initially synthesized as a polyprotein precursor, profilaggrin (consisting of multiple filaggrin units of 324 aa each), which is localized in keratohyalin granules, and is subsequently proteolytically processed into individual functional filaggrin molecules. Mutations in this gene are associated with ichthyosis vulgaris.[provided by RefSeq, Dec 2009]

ACMG classification

Classification was made for transcript

Our verdict: Pathogenic. The variant received 15 ACMG points.

PVS1
Loss of function variant, product does not undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. Variant is located in the 3'-most exon, not predicted to undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. There are 175 pathogenic variants in the truncated region.
PP5
Variant 1-152311564-CT-C is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr1-152311564-CT-C is described in ClinVar as Pathogenic/Likely_pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 420115.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.
BS2
High Homozygotes in GnomAdExome4 at 3 SD,XL,AR,AD geneVariant has number of homozygotes lower than other variant known as pathogenic in the gene, so the strength is limited to Supporting.

Significance:Pathogenic
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

Based on the classification scheme VCGS_Germline_v1.1.1, this variant is classified as Pathogenic. Following criteria are met: 0102 - Loss-of-function is a known mechanism of disease for this gene. (N) 0108 - This gene is known to be associated with both recessive and dominant disease. Biallelic truncating variants generally result in a more severe condition (PMID: 17291859, PMID: 30681730). (N) 0112 - Variants in this gene are known to have reduced penetrance (PMID: 17291859, PMID: 30681730). (N) 0204 - Variant is predicted to result in a truncated protein with more than 1/3 of the protein affected (exon 3 of 3). (P) 0251 - Variant is heterozygous. (N) 0303 - Variant is present in gnomAD v3 >=0.01 for a dominant condition (39 heterozygotes, 1 homozygote). (B) 0701 - Comparable variants have very strong previous evidence for pathogenicity. Many downstream variants also predicted to result in a truncated protein, have been reported in patients with skin conditions (Decipher). (P) 0801 - Strong previous evidence of pathogenicity in unrelated individuals. This variant has been reported as pathogenic, and represents one of the most common disease-causing alleles within the Asian population for atopic dermatitis (ClinVar, PMID: 24858702). (P) 1206 - Variant is paternally inherited. (N) Legend: (P) - Pathogenic, (N) - Neutral, (B) - Benign

Significance:Pathogenic
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The variant is observed at an allele frequency greater than expected for the associated disorder in the gnomAD v4.1.0 dataset and therefore considered benign. Predicted Consequence/Location: Frameshift: predicted to result in a loss or disruption of normal protein function through protein truncation. The predicted truncated protein may be shortened by more than 10% and a dominant negative effect has been reported near truncated region. The variant has been reported at least twice as pathogenic with clinical assertions and evidence for the classification (ClinVar ID: VCV000420115 / PMID: 17291859). Therefore, this variant is classified as Pathogenic according to the recommendation of ACMG/AMP guideline.
