Description

For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 946478). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with fibrofolliculomas (PMID: 27734835). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Lys78Serfs*52) in the FLCN gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in FLCN are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 15852235).
