Genes affected

FGFR3 (HGNC:3690): (fibroblast growth factor receptor 3) This gene encodes a member of the fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) family, with its amino acid sequence being highly conserved between members and among divergent species. FGFR family members differ from one another in their ligand affinities and tissue distribution. A full-length representative protein would consist of an extracellular region, composed of three immunoglobulin-like domains, a single hydrophobic membrane-spanning segment and a cytoplasmic tyrosine kinase domain. The extracellular portion of the protein interacts with fibroblast growth factors, setting in motion a cascade of downstream signals, ultimately influencing mitogenesis and differentiation. This particular family member binds acidic and basic fibroblast growth hormone and plays a role in bone development and maintenance. Mutations in this gene lead to craniosynostosis and multiple types of skeletal dysplasia. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2017]

ACMG classification

Our verdict: Pathogenic. The variant received 18 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a hotspot region, there are 2 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 0 benign, 6 uncertain in NM_000142.5
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PM5: Other missense variant is known to change same aminoacid residue: Variant chr4-1805642-A-G is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 374828.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.993
• PP5: Variant 4-1805643-A-C is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr4-1805643-A-C is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 16344.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

Significance: Likely pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This variant has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of autosomal dominant hypochondroplasia (PMID: 9452043, Invitae). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. This variant is also known as c.1658A>C in the literature. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 16344). In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. This variant disrupts the p.Asn540 amino acid residue in FGFR3. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 7670477, 8589686, 9452043, 25614871). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function are either unavailable or do not agree on the potential impact of this missense change (SIFT: "Tolerated"; PolyPhen-2: "Probably Damaging"; Align-GVGD: "Class C0"). This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This sequence change replaces asparagine with threonine at codon 540 of the FGFR3 protein (p.Asn540Thr). The asparagine residue is highly conserved and there is a small physicochemical difference between asparagine and threonine. -
