Genes affected

FRAS1 (HGNC:19185): (Fraser extracellular matrix complex subunit 1) This gene encodes an extracellular matrix protein that appears to function in the regulation of epidermal-basement membrane adhesion and organogenesis during development. Mutations in this gene cause Fraser syndrome, a multisystem malformation that can include craniofacial, urogenital and respiratory system abnormalities. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2009]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 22 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Splicing variant, LoF is a know mechanism of disease, Cryptic splice site detected, with MaxEntScore 5.3, offset of -1, new splice context is: cagGTtggg. Cryptic site results in frameshift change. If cryptic site found is not functional and variant results in exon loss, it results in frameshift change.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP3: Splicing scoreres supports a deletorius effect: Scorers claiming Pathogenic: dbscSNV1_ADA, dbscSNV1_RF, max_spliceai. No scorers claiming Uncertain. No scorers claiming Benign.
• PP5: Variant 4-78472331-G-T is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr4-78472331-G-T is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 2816.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. Studies have shown that disruption of this splice site is associated with altered splicing resulting in unknown protein product impact (PMID: 17163535). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 2816). Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individual(s) with Fraser syndrome (PMID: 17163535). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. The frequency data for this variant in the population databases is considered unreliable, as metrics indicate poor data quality at this position in the gnomAD database. This sequence change affects a donor splice site in intron 52 of the FRAS1 gene. It is expected to disrupt RNA splicing. Variants that disrupt the donor or acceptor splice site typically lead to a loss of protein function (PMID: 16199547), and loss-of-function variants in FRAS1 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 12766769, 18671281). -
