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 GeneticsSep 22, 2023The c.1789G>A (p.E597K) alteration is located in exon 11 (coding exon 10) of the FASN gene. This alteration results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 1789, causing the glutamic acid (E) at amino acid position 597 to be replaced by a lysine (K). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
Epileptic encephalopathy Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeAug 27, 2021This sequence change replaces glutamic acid with lysine at codon 597 of the FASN protein (p.Glu597Lys). The glutamic acid residue is weakly conserved and there is a small physicochemical difference between glutamic acid and lysine. This variant is present in population databases (rs527938822, ExAC 0.04%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with FASN-related conditions. 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: "Tolerated"; PolyPhen-2: "Possibly 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. -
