Genes affected
FLNA (HGNC:3754): (filamin A) The protein encoded by this gene is an actin-binding protein that crosslinks actin filaments and links actin filaments to membrane glycoproteins. The encoded protein is involved in remodeling the cytoskeleton to effect changes in cell shape and migration. This protein interacts with integrins, transmembrane receptor complexes, and second messengers. Defects in this gene are a cause of several syndromes, including periventricular nodular heterotopias (PVNH1, PVNH4), otopalatodigital syndromes (OPD1, OPD2), frontometaphyseal dysplasia (FMD), Melnick-Needles syndrome (MNS), and X-linked congenital idiopathic intestinal pseudoobstruction (CIIPX). Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.[provided by RefSeq, Mar 2009]

Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 26804200, 31561939, 26686323, 33149276, Huno2025[Article]) -

This sequence change replaces glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, with arginine, which is basic and polar, at codon 1576 of the FLNA protein (p.Gly1576Arg). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with X-linked FLNA related syndrome (PMID: 26686323, 26804200). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 209154). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) has been performed for this missense variant. However, the output from this modeling did not meet the statistical confidence thresholds required to predict the impact of this variant on FLNA protein function. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Significance:Likely pathogenic
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

Likely pathogenicity based on finding it once in our laboratory maternally inherited in a 34-year-old male with aortic stenosis, mitral valve stenosis, reduced joint range of motion, and spontaneous keloids. A maternal male second cousin with similar features was also hemizygous for the variant. -
