Description
Variant summary: FMO3 c.458C>T (p.Pro153Leu) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.001 in 251080 control chromosomes (gnomAD). This frequency is not significantly higher than estimated for a pathogenic variant in FMO3 causing Trimethylaminuria (0.001 vs 0.0056), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. c.458C>T has been reported in the literature in multiple homozygous and compound heterozygous individuals affected with Trimethylaminuria (e.g., Dolphin_1997, Treacy_1998), and the variant has been shown to segregate with disease in related individuals (e.g., Dolphin_1997). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. Several publications report experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function, finding that the variant results in undetectable or severely reduced (<10%) enzymatic activity relative to the wild type (e.g., Dolphin_1997, Treacy_1998, Yeung_2007). The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 9398858, 9536088, 17531949). Four submitters have reported clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 with conflicting interpretations (pathogenic, n = 3; VUS, n = 1). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic.
