Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 12 ACMG points: 12P and 0B. PM1 PM2 PM5 PP3_Strong PP5_Moderate

The NM_023067.4(FOXL2):c.251T>G(p.Ile84Ser) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. 12/20 in silico tools predict a damaging outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic (★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. I84N) has been classified as Likely pathogenic.

Genes affected

FOXL2 (HGNC:1092): (forkhead box L2) This gene encodes a forkhead transcription factor. The protein contains a fork-head DNA-binding domain and may play a role in ovarian development and function. Expansion of a polyalanine repeat region and other mutations in this gene are a cause of blepharophimosis syndrome and premature ovarian failure 3. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2016]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 12 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a hotspot region, there are 3 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 0 benign, 3 uncertain in NM_023067.4
• 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, 0.993
• PP5: Variant 3-138946472-A-C is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr3-138946472-A-C is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 4863.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.

The FOXL2 c.251T>G variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Ile84Ser. This variant has been reported as segregating with disease in a six generation kindred with blepharophimosis ptosis epicanthus inversus syndrome type I (Dollfus et al. 2003. PubMed ID: 12630957). Functional studies have shown that the p.Ile84Ser substitution within the FOXL2 protein causes aggregation and decreases the transcription activity, leading to a decrease in the cellular functions of apoptosis and antiproliferation (Dipietromaria et al. 2009. PubMed ID: 19515849; Kim et al. 2013. PubMed ID: 24240106). This variant has not been reported in a large population database (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org), indicating this variant is rare. An alternate substitution of this amino acid (p.Ile84Asn) has also been reported in individuals with BPES (Beysen et al. 2008. PubMed ID: 18642388 ). Given the evidence, we interpret c.251T>G (p.Ile84Ser) as pathogenic. -
