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]

ACMG classification

Classification was made for transcript

Our verdict: Benign. The variant received -10 ACMG points.

BP4
Computational evidence support a benign effect (BayesDel_noAF=-0.78).
BP6
Variant 17-17221634-G-A is Benign according to our data. Variant chr17-17221634-G-A is described in ClinVar as Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity. ClinVar VariationId is 530018.
BS1
Variant frequency is greater than expected in population eas. GnomAd4 allele frequency = 0.0000394 (6/152328) while in subpopulation EAS AF = 0.00116 (6/5190). AF 95% confidence interval is 0.000503. There are 0 homozygotes in GnomAd4. There are 2 alleles in the male GnomAd4 subpopulation. Median coverage is 32. This position passed quality control check.
BS2
High AC in GnomAd4 at 6 AD gene. Variant has AC lower than other variant known as pathogenic in the gene, so the strength is limited to Supporting.
