Variant summary
Our verdict is Uncertain significance. The variant received 0 ACMG points: 0P and 0B.
The NM_014845.6(FIG4):c.101C>T(p.Thr34Met) variant causes a missense change. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.000112 in 1,603,670 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★★). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. T34T) has been classified as Likely benign.

The p.Thr34Met variant (rs375691683) has not been reported in the medical literature, gene specific variation databases, nor has it been previously identified by our laboratory. This variant is listed in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD) with an overall population frequency of 0.01 percent (identified on 27 out of 276,426 chromosomes).The threonine at position 34 is highly conserved considering 12 species (Alamut v2.10) and computational analyses of the effects of the p.Thr34Met variant on protein structure and function indicate a deleterious effect (SIFT: damaging, MutationTaster: disease causing, PolyPhen-2: probably damaging). Altogether, there is not enough evidence to classify the p.Thr34Met variant with certainty. -
In silico analysis, which includes protein predictors and evolutionary conservation, supports a deleterious effect; Observed as a single heterozygous variant in an individual who underwent panel genetic testing for Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease; further detailed clinical information was not specified in this report (Nicholson et al., 2011); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 21705420) -
Inborn genetic diseases Uncertain:1
The p.T34M variant (also known as c.101C>T), located in coding exon 2 of the FIG4 gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 101. The threonine at codon 34 is replaced by methionine, an amino acid with similar properties. This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
FIG4-related disorder Uncertain:1
The FIG4 c.101C>T variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Thr34Met. To our knowledge, this variant has not been reported in the literature. This variant is reported in 0.016% of alleles in individuals of European (non-Finnish) descent in gnomAD. Although we suspect this variant may be benign. At this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -
Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 4 Uncertain:1
This sequence change replaces threonine, which is neutral and polar, with methionine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 34 of the FIG4 protein (p.Thr34Met). This variant is present in population databases (rs375691683, gnomAD 0.02%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with FIG4-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 476850). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function are either unavailable or do not agree on the potential impact of this missense change (SIFT: "Deleterious"; PolyPhen-2: "Probably Damaging"; Align-GVGD: "Class C0"). 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. -
