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]
MPRIP (HGNC:30321): (myosin phosphatase Rho interacting protein) Enables cadherin binding activity. Predicted to be involved in actin filament organization. Located in actin cytoskeleton and cytosol. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

ACMG classification

Classification made for transcript

Verdict is Likely_pathogenic. Variant got 6 ACMG points.

PVS1
Splicing +-2 bp (donor or acceptor) variant, product NOT destroyed by NMD, known LOF gene, truncates exone, which is 0.07586207 fraction of the gene. Cryptic splice site detected, with MaxEntScore 5.4, offset of -47, new splice context is: caaGTacga. 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 17-17215184-C-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr17-17215184-C-A is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 1772522.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars. Variant chr17-17215184-C-A is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].

The c.1432+1G>T intronic variant results from a G to T substitution one nucleotide after coding exon 9 of the FLCN 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 donor site and may result in the creation or strengthening of a novel splice donor site. The resulting transcript is predicted to be in-frame and is not expected to trigger nonsense-mediated mRNA decay; however, direct evidence is unavailable. The exact functional effect of the missing amino acids is unknown; however, a significant portion of the protein is affected (Ambry internal data). This alteration has been reported in an individual with a personal history of spontaneous pneumothorax and intraparenchymal cystic alterations of both lungs (Vogl M et al. Oxf Med Case Reports, 2020 Mar;2020:omaa016). 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. -
