Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 10 ACMG points: 10P and 0B. PM1 PM2 PM5 PP3_Strong

The NM_004960.4(FUS):​c.1570A>T​(p.Arg524Trp) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. R524S) has been classified as Likely pathogenic.

Genes affected

FUS (HGNC:4010): (FUS RNA binding protein) This gene encodes a multifunctional protein component of the heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein (hnRNP) complex. The hnRNP complex is involved in pre-mRNA splicing and the export of fully processed mRNA to the cytoplasm. This protein belongs to the FET family of RNA-binding proteins which have been implicated in cellular processes that include regulation of gene expression, maintenance of genomic integrity and mRNA/microRNA processing. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. Defects in this gene result in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis type 6. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2009]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 10 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a compositionally_biased_region Basic and acidic residues (size 17) in uniprot entity FUS_HUMAN there are 30 pathogenic changes around while only 0 benign (100%) in NM_004960.4
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PM5: Other missense variant is known to change same aminoacid residue: Variant chrnull-null-null-null is described in UniProt as null.
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.939

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with tryptophan, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 524 of the FUS protein (p.Arg524Trp). This missense change has been observed in individuals with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (PMID: 20385912; Invitae). This variant is present in population databases (rs267606833, gnomAD 0.0009%). 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. This variant disrupts the p.Arg524 amino acid residue in FUS. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been observed in individuals with FUS-related conditions (PMID: 19251627, 25681989, 29525178), which suggests that this may be a clinically significant amino acid residue. An algorithm developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (PolyPhen-2) suggests that this variant is likely to be disruptive. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 16228). -
