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]

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Gln167*) in the FLCN gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in FLCN are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 15852235). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of Birt-Hogg-Dubé syndrome, in at least one of whom it was found de novo (PMID: 23264078, 23784378, 26603437, 27257988, 27652079). In at least one individual the variant was observed to be de novo. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 141865). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.

Nonsense variant predicted to result in protein truncation or nonsense mediated decay in a gene for which loss-of-function is a known mechanism of disease; Observed in individuals with BirtHoggDub syndrome in published literature, including one individual with this variant observed de novo with confirmed parentage (Menko 2013, Johannesma 2016, Sattler 2017, Radzikowska 2021); Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 23784378, 28152038, 27257988, 15852235, 29357828, 28869776, 23264078, 26603437, 34229741, 27652079)

Collection Method: clinical testing

The p.Q167* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.499C>T), located in coding exon 3 of the FLCN gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 499. This changes the amino acid from a glutamine to a stop codon within coding exon 3. This mutation has been identified in multiple individuals with Birt-Hogg-Dube syndrome (Menko FH et al. Fam. Cancer, 2013 Sep;12:373-9; Luijten MN et al. Hum. Mol. Genet., 2013 Nov;22:4383-97; Johannesma PC et al. Fam. Cancer, 2016 Apr;15:297-300; Demir M et al. Pediatr Pulmonol, 2016 12;51:E41-E43). This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). In addition to the clinical data presented in the literature, this alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. As such, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation.
