Genes affected
FGD4 (HGNC:19125): (FYVE, RhoGEF and PH domain containing 4) This gene encodes a protein that is involved in the regulation of the actin cytoskeleton and cell shape. This protein contains an actin filament-binding domain, which together with its Dbl homology domain and one of its pleckstrin homology domains, can form microspikes. This protein can activate MAPK8 independently of the actin filament-binding domain, and it is also involved in the activation of CDC42 via the exchange of bound GDP for free GTP. The activation of CDC42 also enables this protein to play a role in mediating the cellular invasion of Cryptosporidium parvum, an intracellular parasite that infects the gastrointestinal tract. Mutations in this gene can cause Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 4H (CMT4H), a disorder of the peripheral nervous system. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2015]

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This variant was observed as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (where applicable). No publications were found based on this search. Allele frequency data from public databases did not allow this variant to be ruled in or out of causing disease. Therefore, this variant is classified as a variant of unknown significance. -

The FGD4 c.2149G>A; p.Val717Met variant (rs61753359) is reported in the literature in a large Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease cohort, but without clear association with disease (Volodarsky 2021). This variant is also reported in ClinVar (Variation ID: 188373), and is found in the general population with an overall allele frequency of 0.12% (353/282640 alleles) in the Genome Aggregation Database. The valine at codon 717 is moderately conserved, and computational analyses predict that this variant is neutral (REVEL: 0.125). Due to limited information, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain at this time. References: Volodarsky M et al. Comprehensive genetic sequence and copy number analysis for Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease in a Canadian cohort of 2517 patients. J Med Genet. 2021 Apr;58(4):284-288. PMID: 32376792. -

The p.V717M variant (also known as c.2149G>A), located in coding exon 15 of the FGD4 gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 2149. The valine at codon 717 is replaced by methionine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This amino acid position is well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be tolerated by in silico analysis. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
