Description

The p.T234A variant (also known as c.700A>G), located in coding exon 5 of the FH gene, results from an A to G substitution at nucleotide position 700. The threonine at codon 234 is replaced by alanine, an amino acid with similar properties. This alteration has been identified in numerous patients with a personal and/or family history of pheochromocytomas or paragangliomas, including tumors with a loss of fumarate hydratase staining in immunohistochemistry experiments (Ambry internal data; Richter S et al. Genet. Med. 2018 Jul; Fuchs TL et al. Am J Surg Pathol 2023 Jan;47(1):25-36; Zavoshi S et al. Urology 2023 Feb.). Based on internal structural analysis, this amino acid sits at the interface of two monomer subunits and this substitution is anticipated to result in a significant decrease in structural stability (Baugh L et al. Tuberculosis (Edinb). 2015 Mar;95:142-8; Ambry internal data). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Based on the supporting evidence, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation in association with PPGL, however its association with other features of hereditary leiomyomatosis and renal cell carcinoma syndrome is unclear.
