Genes affected

FOXC1 (HGNC:3800): (forkhead box C1) This gene belongs to the forkhead family of transcription factors which is characterized by a distinct DNA-binding forkhead domain. The specific function of this gene has not yet been determined; however, it has been shown to play a role in the regulation of embryonic and ocular development. Mutations in this gene cause various glaucoma phenotypes including primary congenital glaucoma, autosomal dominant iridogoniodysgenesis anomaly, and Axenfeld-Rieger anomaly.

Significance:Uncertain significance

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

The c.356A>G (p.K119R) alteration is located in exon 1 (coding exon 1) of the FOXC1 gene. This alteration results from a A to G substitution at nucleotide position 356, causing the lysine (K) at amino acid position 119 to be replaced by an arginine (R). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

Significance:Uncertain significance

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces lysine with arginine at codon 119 of the FOXC1 protein (p.Lys119Arg). The lysine residue is highly conserved and there is a small physicochemical difference between lysine and arginine. This variant is present in population databases (rs759264099, ExAC 0.01%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with FOXC1-related disease. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (SIFT, PolyPhen-2, Align-GVGD) all suggest that this variant is likely to be disruptive, but these predictions have not been confirmed by published functional studies and their clinical significance is uncertain. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
