Variant summary: FAH c.1009G>A (p.Gly337Ser) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the C-terminal domain (IPR011234) of the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. In addition, several computational tools predict a significant impact on normal splicing: Three predict the variant creates a 3 acceptor site. This prediction has been confirmed by a study, using fibroblast derived mRNA from a homozygous patient, which has demonstrated the variant creates a functional acceptor splice site within exon 12, resulting in aberrant splice products (Rootwelt_1994). The variant had an incomplete effect on splicing, as the full length product, coding for the missense protein, was also detected in comparable amounts to the aberrant splice products (Rootwelt_1994). Though in this study no immunoreactive FAH protein could be detected in patient fibroblasts (Rootwelt_1994), the authors later noted that the resulting protein with G337S has about 19-31 % of normal FAH activity (Rootwelt_1996). The variant allele was found at a frequency of 7.2e-05 in 248584 control chromosomes (gnomAD). This frequency is not significantly higher than expected for a pathogenic variant in FAH causing Tyrosinemia Type 1 (7.2e-05 vs 0.0025), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. c.1009G>A has been reported in the literature in multiple homozygous and compound heterozygous individuals affected with Tyrosinemia Type 1 (example: Rootwelt_1994, Rootwelt 1996, Haghighi-Kakhki_2014). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. One other ClinVar submitter (evaluation after 2014) cite the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

This sequence change replaces glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, with serine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 337 of the FAH protein (p.Gly337Ser). RNA analysis indicates that this missense change induces altered splicing and may result in an absent or altered protein product. This variant is present in population databases (rs80338900, gnomAD 0.02%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with tyrosinemia type 1 (PMID: 8076937, 9633815, 22554029, 24756054). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 11869). 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) indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt FAH protein function with a positive predictive value of 80%. Studies have shown that this missense change results in removing the first 50 nucleotides of exon 12, and produces a non-functional protein and/or introduces a premature termination codon (PMID: 24756054). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
