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]

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Quest Diagnostics Nichols Institute San Juan Capistrano	Mar 08, 2023	This variant disrupts a canonical splice-donor site and interferes with normal FLCN mRNA splicing. The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.000039 (5/129096 chromosomes, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org), is consistent with pathogenicity. In the published literature, the variant has been reported in individuals/families with Birt-Hogg-Dube (BHD) syndrome (PMIDs: 18234728 (2008), 21937013 (2012), 23050938 (2012), 35176117 (2022)). Based on the available information, this variant is classified as pathogenic. -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp	Dec 18, 2023	This sequence change affects a donor splice site in intron 7 of the FLCN gene. RNA analysis indicates that disruption of this splice site induces altered splicing and may result in an absent or disrupted protein product. This variant is present in population databases (rs758175953, gnomAD 0.004%). Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individuals with Birt‚ÄìHogg‚ÄìDub√© syndrome (PMID: 18234728, 21937013, 23050938). This variant is also known as IVS7+1 G>T. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 231274). Studies have shown that disruption of this splice site results in activation of a cryptic splice site and introduces a premature termination codon (Invitae). The resulting mRNA is expected to undergo nonsense-mediated decay. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Myriad Genetics, Inc.	May 31, 2023	This variant is considered 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. This variant has been reported in multiple individuals with clinical features of gene-specific disease [PMID: 35176117, 18234728, 23050938]. -

Ambry Genetics

Aug 07, 2023

The c.779+1G>T intronic pathogenic mutation results from a G to T substitution one nucleotide after coding exon 4 of the FLCN gene. This mutation has been reported in multiple individuals/families with Birt-Hogg-Dube syndrome (Toro JR et al. J. Med. Genet. 2008 Jun; 45(6):321-31; Ambry internal data). In silico splice site analysis predicts that this alteration will weaken the native splice donor site and will result in the creation or strengthening of a novel splice donor site. Alterations that disrupt the canonical splice site are expected to cause aberrant splicing, resulting in an abnormal protein or a transcript that is subject to nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. Based on the supporting evidence, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -
