Genes affected
FBXL4 (HGNC:13601): (F-box and leucine rich repeat protein 4) This gene encodes a member of the F-box protein family, which are characterized by an approximately 40 amino acid motif, the F-box. F-box proteins constitute one subunit of modular E3 ubiquitin ligase complexes, called SCF complexes, which function in phosphorylation-dependent ubiquitination. The F-box domain mediates protein-protein interactions and binds directly to S-phase kinase-associated protein 1. In addition to an F-box domain, the encoded protein contains at least 9 tandem leucine-rich repeats. The ubiquitin ligase complex containing the encoded protein may function in cell-cycle control by regulating levels of lysine-specific demethylase 4A. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2013]

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Cys547*) in the FBXL4 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in FBXL4 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 23993193, 23993194, 25868664). This variant is present in population databases (rs765882664, gnomAD 0.03%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with mitochondrial DNA depletion syndrome (PMID: 26404457, 31984159). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 265143). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
