Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely benign. Variant got -6 ACMG points: 0P and 6B. BP4_ModerateBS2

The NM_004104.5(FASN):c.6788G>A(p.Arg2263Gln) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0000556 in 1,601,748 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. 14/20 in silico tools predict a benign 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. R2263W) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

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.

Submissions by phenotype

not specified Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsJul 16, 2021The c.6788G>A (p.R2263Q) alteration is located in exon 39 (coding exon 38) of the FASN gene. This alteration results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 6788, causing the arginine (R) at amino acid position 2263 to be replaced by a glutamine (Q). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
Epileptic encephalopathy Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeJul 07, 2023This variant is present in population databases (rs377735574, gnomAD 0.009%). 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. 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 tolerated. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 572661). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with FASN-related conditions. This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with glutamine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 2263 of the FASN protein (p.Arg2263Gln). -
