Description

This sequence change results in a frameshift in the FLCN gene (p.Gln533Glufs*68). While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the last 47 amino acid(s) of the FLCN protein and extend the protein by 20 additional amino acid residues. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This frameshift has been observed in individuals with Birt-Hogg-Dubé syndrome (PMID: 20403193; Invitae). This variant is also known as 2052_2053del. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 234040). This variant disrupts the FNIP1/2 interaction domain, which has been shown to be important for AMPK-mediated mTOR signaling pathways (PMID: 17028174, 18403135, 18663353, 22977732). While functional studies have not been performed to directly test the effect of this variant on FLCN protein function, this suggests that disruption of this region of the protein may be causative of disease. This variant disrupts a region of the FLCN protein in which other variant(s) (p.Trp553Arg) have been determined to be pathogenic (Invitae; external communications). This suggests that this is a clinically significant region of the protein, and that variants that disrupt it are likely to be disease-causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.
