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

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.His429Glnfs*27) 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 premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with Birt-Hogg-Dub√© (BHD) syndrome (PMID: 18234728). This variant is also known as c.1741insA. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 253247). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Significance:Pathogenic

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

The c.1286dupA variant in the FLCN gene has been reported previously in association with Birt-Hogg-Dube syndrome (Toro et al., 2008; Maffe et al., 2011). The duplication causes a frameshift starting with codon Histidine 429, changes this amino acid to a Glutamine residue and creates a premature Stop codon at position 27 of the new reading frame, denoted p.His429GlufsX27. This variant is predicted to cause loss of normal protein function either through protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. Based on currently available evidence, we consider c.1286dupA to be pathogenic, and its presence consistent with a diagnosis of Birt-Hogg-Dube syndrome. -

Significance:Pathogenic

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

The c.1286dupA pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 8 of the FLCN gene, results from a duplication of A at nucleotide position 1286, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.H429Qfs*27). This alteration has been observed in individuals with a personal and/or family history that is consistent with FLCN-related disease (Ambry internal data; Toro JR et al. J Med Genet, 2008 Jun;45:321-31). Of note, this alteration is referred to as c.1741insA in the published literature. This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). 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. -
