Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 16 ACMG points: 16P and 0B. PVS1_Moderate PS3 PM2 PP5_Very_Strong

The NM_144997.7(FLCN):​c.250-2A>G variant causes a splice acceptor, intron change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000137 in 1,461,874 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. 3/3 splice prediction tools predicting alterations to normal splicing. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Likely pathogenic (★★). ClinVar reports functional evidence for this variant: "SCV000632865: Studies have shown that disruption of this splice site results in activation of a cryptic splice site, and produces a non-functional protein and/or introduces a premature termination codon (PMID:18234728)." and additional evidence is available in ClinVar.

Genes affected

FLCN (HGNC:27310): (folliculin) This gene is located within the Smith-Magenis syndrome region on chromosome 17. Mutations in this gene are associated with Birt-Hogg-Dube syndrome, which is characterized by fibrofolliculomas, renal tumors, lung cysts, and pneumothorax. Alternative splicing of this gene results in two transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

ACMG classification

Our verdict: Pathogenic. The variant received 16 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Splicing +-2 bp (donor or acceptor) variant, product NOT destroyed by NMD, known LOF gene, truncates exone, which is 0.08448276 fraction of the gene. Cryptic splice site detected, with MaxEntScore 6.6, offset of 22, new splice context is: ctgccggtcacttgctgcAGggc. Cryptic site results in frameshift change. If cryptic site found is not functional and variant results in exon loss, it results in inframe change.
• PS3: PS3 evidence extracted from ClinVar submissions: SCV000632865: Studies have shown that disruption of this splice site results in activation of a cryptic splice site, and produces a non-functional protein and/or introduces a premature termination codon (PMID: 18234728).; SCV000580730: RNA studies have demonstrated that this alteration results in abnormal splicing in the set of samples tested (Ambry internal data).
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 17-17226324-T-C is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr17-17226324-T-C is described in ClinVar as Pathogenic/Likely_pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 96481.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.
