Genes affected
FIG4 (HGNC:16873): (FIG4 phosphoinositide 5-phosphatase) The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the SAC domain-containing protein gene family. The SAC domain, approximately 400 amino acids in length and consisting of seven conserved motifs, has been shown to possess phosphoinositide phosphatase activity. The yeast homolog, Sac1p, is involved in the regulation of various phosphoinositides, and affects diverse cellular functions such as actin cytoskeleton organization, Golgi function, and maintenance of vacuole morphology. Membrane-bound phosphoinositides function as signaling molecules and play a key role in vesicle trafficking in eukaryotic cells. Mutations in this gene have been associated with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, type 4J. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 4J Pathogenic:2Uncertain:1
Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLaboratory for Molecular Medicine, Mass General Brigham Personalized MedicineJun 15, 2018The p.Gln823X variant in FIG4 has been reported in 1 individual with a suspicion of Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT; Nicholson 2011) and in ClinVar (Variation ID: 4473 36). This variant has been identified in 6/126658 European chromosomes by the Ge nome Aggregation Database (gnomAD, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org; dbSNP rs745 790694). This nonsense variant leads to a premature termination codon at positio n 823, which is predicted to lead to a truncated or absent protein. CMT Type 4J is caused by biallelic compound heterozygous pathogenic variants in FIG4, most c ommonly when one is a missense variant and the other a loss-of-function variant (Nicholson 2011). Biallelic pathogenic variants that cause complete loss of FIG4 function is associated with Yunis-Varon syndrome (YVS) (Campeau 2013). In summa ry, although additional studies are required to fully establish its clinical sig nificance, this variant is likely pathogenic. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: PVS1_Ve ryStrong; PM2. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpJul 26, 2023Variant summary: FIG4 c.2467C>T (p.Gln823X), located in the penultimate exon, results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause an absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which is a commonly known mechanism for disease. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 2.4e-05 in 251420 control chromosomes. c.2467C>T has been reported in the literature as a heterozygous genotype in an individual reportedly affected with CharcotMarieTooth disease type 4J (CMT4J) as part of a referral laboratory cohort (Nicholson_2011); as a heterozygous variant classified as a variant of uncertain clinical significance (VUS) in an individual Frontotemporal Dementia and slowly progressive motor neuron disease (Gertud Bergner_2020); and as a homozygous genotype in an individual within a cohort with early onset Alzheimer's disease (EOAD) (Bartoletti Stella_2022). To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 36133075, 33424531, 21705420). The Clingen panel reports the the FIG4 gene as definitively associated with autosomal recessive Charcot-Marie Tooth while concluding on a limited association with autosomal dominant Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis spectrum of disorders. Six submitters have cited clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014, classifying the variant as pathogenic (n=2) or likely pathogenic (n=4). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 4 Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeDec 21, 2023This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Gln823*) in the FIG4 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in FIG4 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 23623387, 30740813). This variant is present in population databases (rs745790694, gnomAD 0.005%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (PMID: 21705420). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 447336). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
