Genes affected

FLCN (HGNC:27310): (folliculin) This gene is located within the Smith-Magenis syndrome region on chromosome 17. Mutations in this gene are associated with Birt-Hogg-Dube syndrome, which is characterized by fibrofolliculomas, renal tumors, lung cysts, and pneumothorax. Alternative splicing of this gene results in two transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Significance:Pathogenic

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

The FLCN c.189delC; p.Ala64GlnfsTer66 variant (rs876660611), to our knowledge, is not reported in the medical literature but is reported in ClinVar (Variation ID: 233744). This variant is absent from the Genome Aggregation Database, indicating it is not a common polymorphism. This variant causes a frameshift by deleting a single nucleotide, so it is predicted to result in a truncated protein or mRNA subject to nonsense-mediated decay. Additionally, several downstream truncating variants have been described in individuals with Birt-Hogg-Dube syndrome and are considered pathogenic (Schmidt 2005). Based on available information, this variant is considered to be pathogenic. References: Schmidt LS et al. Germline BHD-mutation spectrum and phenotype analysis of a large cohort of families with Birt-Hogg-Dube syndrome. Am J Hum Genet. 2005 Jun;76(6):1023-33. PMID: 15852235. -

Significance:Pathogenic

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Ala64Glnfs*66) in the FLCN gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in FLCN are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 15852235). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with FLCN-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 233744). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Significance:Pathogenic

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

The c.189delC pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 1 of the FLCN gene, results from a deletion of one nucleotide at nucleotide position 189, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.A64Qfs*66). This alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. As such, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -
