Genes affected

FH (HGNC:3700): (fumarate hydratase) The protein encoded by this gene is an enzymatic component of the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle, or Krebs cycle, and catalyzes the formation of L-malate from fumarate. It exists in both a cytosolic form and an N-terminal extended form, differing only in the translation start site used. The N-terminal extended form is targeted to the mitochondrion, where the removal of the extension generates the same form as in the cytoplasm. It is similar to some thermostable class II fumarases and functions as a homotetramer. Mutations in this gene can cause fumarase deficiency and lead to progressive encephalopathy.

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 14 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Splicing +-2 bp (donor or acceptor) variant, product NOT destroyed by NMD, known LOF gene, truncates exone, which is 0.11872146 fraction of the gene. Cryptic splice site detected, with MaxEntScore 5.8, offset of 25, new splice context is: aaatgatacttttcccacAGcaa. Cryptic site results in frameshift change. If cryptic site found is not functional and variant results in exon loss, it results in inframe change.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 1-241508787-T-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr1-241508787-T-A is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 393566.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

Hereditary leiomyomatosis and renal cell cancer Pathogenic:2

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Genomic Diagnostic Laboratory, Division of Genomic Diagnostics, Children's Hospital of Philadelphia	Jan 17, 2017	- -
Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Myriad Genetics, Inc.	Jul 05, 2023	This variant is considered likely pathogenic. This variant occurs within a consensus splice junction and is predicted to result in abnormal mRNA splicing of either an out-of-frame exon or an in-frame exon necessary for protein stability and/or normal function. -

not provided Pathogenic:2

Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp	Oct 06, 2023	This sequence change affects an acceptor splice site in intron 4 of the FH 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 FH are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 11865300, 21398687). This variant is present in population databases (rs750273092, gnomAD 0.007%). Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individual(s) with renal cell carcinoma (PMID: 29625052, 29978187, 36451132). This variant is also known as g.241672087T>A. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 393566). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. 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. -
Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	GeneDx	Mar 02, 2022	Canonical splice site variant demonstrated to result in aberrant splicing leading to a deletion of the adjacent in-frame exon 5 (Oak 2020); Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 29978187, 31444830, 29625052, 32471518) -

The c.556-2A>T intronic variant results from an A to T substitution two nucleotides upstream from coding exon 5 in the FH gene. Alterations that disrupt the canonical splice site are expected to result in aberrant splicing. In silico splice site analysis predicts that this alteration will weaken the native splice acceptor site. The resulting transcript is predicted to be in-frame and is not expected to trigger nonsense-mediated mRNAdecay; however, direct evidence is unavailable. The exact functional effect of the missing amino acids is unknown; however, the impacted region is critical for protein function (Ambry internal data). This alteration has been reported in patients diagnosed with renal cell carcinoma (Huang KL et al. Cell. 2018 04;173:355-370.e14; Carlo MI et al. JAMA Oncol. 2018 09;4:1228-1235). This nucleotide position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. Based on the majority of available evidence to date, this variant is likely to be pathogenic. -
