Inborn genetic diseases Pathogenic:1
The c.737G>A (p.W246*) alteration, located in exon 7 (coding exon 7) of the FIG4 gene, consists of a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 737. This changes the amino acid from a tryptophan (W) to a stop codon at amino acid position 246. This alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. Based on data from gnomAD, the A allele has an overall frequency of <0.01% (10/282520) total alleles studied. The highest observed frequency was 0.02% (7/35358) of Latino alleles. This mutation was confirmed in trans with a FIG4 canonical splice variant in a child with developmental delay, hypotonia, progressive peripheral neuropathy, and lack of cerebral myelination and ventriculomegaly on brain MRI (Lenk, 2019). It was also identified in two additional individuals with sensory motor demyelinating polyneuropathy in conjunction with a FIG4 missense variant; however, phase information was not provided (Hu, 2018). Based on the available evidence, this alteration is classified as pathogenic. -
FIG4-related disorder Pathogenic:1
The FIG4 c.737G>A variant is predicted to result in premature protein termination (p.Trp246*). This variant was reported in a large cohort of individuals with suspected Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (DiVincenzo et al. 2014. PubMed ID: 25614874, Supplementary Table 5) and was identified in the compound heterozygous state in an individual with cerebral hypomyelination (Lenk et al. 2019. PubMed ID: 30740813). This variant is reported in 0.020% of alleles in individuals of Latino descent in gnomAD. Nonsense variants in FIG4 are expected to be pathogenic for autosomal recessive FIG4-related disease. This variant is interpreted as pathogenic. -

Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 4 Pathogenic:1
This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Trp246*) in the FIG4 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in FIG4 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 23623387, 30740813). This variant is present in population databases (rs776005417, gnomAD 0.02%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (PMID: 25614874). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 420149). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
