Description
This sequence change replaces asparagine, which is neutral and polar, with lysine, which is basic and polar, at codon 340 of the FH protein (p.Asn340Lys). This variant is present in population databases (rs398123159, gnomAD 0.003%). This missense change has been observed in individuals with hereditary leiomyomatosis and renal cell cancer (HLRCC) (PMID: 12772087, 15937070, 26457356; Invitae). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. This variant is also known as 891T>A (N297K, N297D). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 92447). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt FH protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.
