This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg174*) in the FAH gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in FAH are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 9101289, 9633815). This variant is present in population databases (rs781496816, gnomAD 0.003%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individuals with tyrosinemia type I (PMID: 8723690, 23225041, 23430822). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 188751). 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. -

Variant summary: FAH c.520C>T (p.Arg174X) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. A truncation downstream of this position has been classified as pathogenic by our laboratory (e.g. c.1069G>T (p.Glu357X)). The variant allele was found at a frequency of 4.1e-06 in 246500 control chromosomes (in gnomAD and publication data). c.520C>T has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Tyrosinemia Type 1 (Timmers 1996, Heath 2002, Dursun 2011). These data indicate that the variant is likely to be associated with disease. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. One clinical diagnostic laboratory has submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation, and classified the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
