Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 12 ACMG points: 12P and 0B. PVS1 PM2 PP5_Moderate

The NM_144997.7(FLCN):c.987del(p.Ser330ProfsTer23) variant causes a frameshift change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic (★). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. S329S) has been classified as Likely benign. Variant results in nonsense mediated mRNA decay.

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]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 12 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product undergoes nonsense mediated mRNA decay. LoF is a known mechanism of disease.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 17-17219093-AG-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr17-17219093-AG-A is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 241933.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.

This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Ser330Profs*23) 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 has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with FLCN-related conditions. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 241933). -
