Genes affected
FH (HGNC:3700): (fumarate hydratase) The protein encoded by this gene is an enzymatic component of the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle, or Krebs cycle, and catalyzes the formation of L-malate from fumarate. It exists in both a cytosolic form and an N-terminal extended form, differing only in the translation start site used. The N-terminal extended form is targeted to the mitochondrion, where the removal of the extension generates the same form as in the cytoplasm. It is similar to some thermostable class II fumarases and functions as a homotetramer. Mutations in this gene can cause fumarase deficiency and lead to progressive encephalopathy.

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The p.L14F variant (also known as c.40C>T), located in coding exon 1 of the FH gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 40. The leucine at codon 14 is replaced by phenylalanine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This amino acid position is well conserved on limited sequence alignment. In addition, the in silico prediction for this alteration is inconclusive. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
