Genes affected
FASN (HGNC:3594): (fatty acid synthase) The enzyme encoded by this gene is a multifunctional protein. Its main function is to catalyze the synthesis of palmitate from acetyl-CoA and malonyl-CoA, in the presence of NADPH, into long-chain saturated fatty acids. In some cancer cell lines, this protein has been found to be fused with estrogen receptor-alpha (ER-alpha), in which the N-terminus of FAS is fused in-frame with the C-terminus of ER-alpha.

Epileptic encephalopathy Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeDec 09, 2023This sequence change replaces alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, with threonine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 902 of the FASN protein (p.Ala902Thr). This variant is present in population databases (rs376556250, gnomAD 0.01%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with FASN-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 530959). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function output the following: SIFT: "Not Available"; PolyPhen-2: "Benign"; Align-GVGD: "Not Available". The threonine amino acid residue is found in multiple mammalian species, which suggests that this missense change does not adversely affect protein function. 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. -
