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

Classification was made for transcript

Our verdict: Uncertain_significance. The variant received 3 ACMG points.

PVS1

Splicing +-2 bp (donor or acceptor) variant, product NOT destroyed by NMD, known LOF gene, truncates exone, which is 0.15689655 fraction of the gene. Cryptic splice site detected, with MaxEntScore 11, offset of 0 (no position change), new splice context is: gagGTaagt. Cryptic site results in inframe change. If cryptic site found is not functional and variant results in exon loss, it results in inframe change.

BP6

Variant 17-17227887-G-A is Benign according to our data. Variant chr17-17227887-G-A is described in ClinVar as Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity. ClinVar VariationId is 409382.

Significance:Uncertain significance

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

Affects a canonical splice site; however, in silico analysis supports that this variant does not alter splicing; Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); Has not been previously published as pathogenic or benign to our knowledge -

Quest Diagnostics Nichols Institute San Juan Capistrano

Significance:Uncertain significance

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

This variant disrupts a canonical splice-donor site and is predicted to interfere with normal FLCN mRNA splicing. The variant has not been reported in the published literature. The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.00022 (3/13742 chromosomes in Latino/Admixed American subpopulation, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org), is higher than would generally be expected for pathogenic variants in this gene. Based on the available information, we are unable to determine the clinical significance of this variant. -

Significance:Uncertain significance

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

The c.249+2C>T intronic variant results from a C to T substitution two nucleotides after coding exon 1 in the FLCN gene. This nucleotide position is not well conserved in available vertebrate species. In silico splice site analysis predicts that this alteration will not have any significant effect on splicing; however, direct evidence is insufficient at this time (Ambry internal data). Based on the available evidence, the clinical significance of this variant remains unclear. -

Myriad Genetics, Inc.

Significance:Likely benign

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

This variant is considered likely benign. Although this variant occurs at the canonical splice site, it changes the splice site to consensus and is not expected to impact RNA splicing. -
