Genes affected
FBXL4 (HGNC:13601): (F-box and leucine rich repeat protein 4) This gene encodes a member of the F-box protein family, which are characterized by an approximately 40 amino acid motif, the F-box. F-box proteins constitute one subunit of modular E3 ubiquitin ligase complexes, called SCF complexes, which function in phosphorylation-dependent ubiquitination. The F-box domain mediates protein-protein interactions and binds directly to S-phase kinase-associated protein 1. In addition to an F-box domain, the encoded protein contains at least 9 tandem leucine-rich repeats. The ubiquitin ligase complex containing the encoded protein may function in cell-cycle control by regulating levels of lysine-specific demethylase 4A. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2013]

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

The variant is observed at an extremely low frequency in the gnomAD v2.1.1 dataset (total allele frequency: 0.004%). This stop-gained (nonsense) variant is predicted to result in a loss or disruption of normal protein function through nonsense-mediated decay (NMD) or protein truncation. Multiple pathogenic variants are reported downstream of the variant. The variant has been reported at least twice as pathogenic without evidence for the classification (ClinVar ID: VCV000066091/ PMID: 23993193). Therefore, this variant is classified as Pathogenic according to the recommendation of ACMG/AMP guideline. -

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg435*) in the FBXL4 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in FBXL4 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 23993193, 23993194, 25868664). This variant is present in population databases (rs201889294, gnomAD 0.01%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with mitochondrial DNA depletion syndrome (PMID: 23993193, 27099744, 27290639, 30369941, 30771478, 30804983). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 66091). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

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

Variant summary: FBXL4 c.1303C>T (p.Arg435X) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 4e-05 in 250950 control chromosomes. This frequency is not significantly higher than estimated for a pathogenic variant in FBXL4 causing Leigh Syndrome (4e-05 vs 0.00056), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. c.1303C>T has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Mitochondrial encephalopathy (example : Bonnen_2013). These data indicate that the variant may be associated with disease. The following publication has been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 23993193). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 66091). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

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

The c.1303C>T (p.R435*) alteration, located in exon 6 (coding exon 4) of the FBXL4 gene, consists of a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 1303. This changes the amino acid from a arginine (R) to a stop codon at amino acid position 435. Premature stop codons are typically deleterious in nature (Richards, 2015). The heterozygous missense change is ultra rare in healthy individuals:_x000D_ Based on data from the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project (ESP), the FBXL4 c.1303C>T alteration was observed in 1 among 13006 total alleles studied (0.01%). Allele frequency data for this nucleotide position are not currently available from the 1000 Genomes Project. This variant is reported in the SNPDatabase as rs201889294. Based on the available evidence, this alteration is classified as pathogenic. -

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

The p.Arg435X (NM_012160.4 c.1303C>T) variant in FBXL4 has been reported in 1 ho mozygous and 2 compound heterozygous individuals with clinical features of mitoc hondrial DNA depletion syndrome 13 (Bonnen 2013, Van Rij 2016, and Prionska 2016 ). This variant has been identified in 0.012% (1/8652) of East Asian chromosomes by the Exome Aggregation Consortium (ExAC, http://exac.broadinstitute.org; dbSN P rs201889294). This nonsense variant leads to a premature termination codon at position 435, which is predicted to lead to a truncated or absent protein. In su mmary, the p.Arg435X variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for m itochondrial DNA depletion syndrome in an autosomal recessive manner, based upon occurrence in patients and predicted functional impact. -
