In one cohort, the p.Arg248Cys variant was identified in 45 out of 91 cases of TD (Wilcox 1998). Additionally, genotyping has demonstrated that this variant is absent in both parents of some affected individuals (Tavormina 1995, Takagi 2012), suggesting it may frequently arise de novo. While the majority of variant carriers are severely affected, p.Arg248Cys has also been identified in patients with milder forms of skeletal dysplasia, which is typically attributed to somatic mosaicism of the p.Arg248Cys variant (Hyland 2003, Takagi 2012). Functional studies indicate the p.Arg248Cys variant promotes ligand-independent FGFR3 dimerization (Del Piccolo 2015), which is predicted to result in constitutive receptor activation, as is observed with other cysteine-substituted FGFR3 variants associated with TD type I (Adar 2002). Based on available information, this variant is considered to be pathogenic. REFERENCES Adar R et al.

Recent functional studies have indicated the p.Arg248Cys variant promotes ligand-independent FGFR3 dimerization (Del Piccolo 2015), which is predicted to result in constitutive receptor activation, as is observed with other cysteine-substituted FGFR3 variants associated with TD type I (Adar 2002). The variant has been submitted to ClinVar as Pathogenic. The p.R248C variant is novel (not in any individuals) in gnomAD Exomes and is novel (not in any individuals) in 1000 Genomes. The p.R248C missense variant is predicted to be damaging by both SIFT and PolyPhen2. The arginine residue at codon 248 of FGFR3 is conserved in all mammalian species. The nucleotide c.742 in FGFR3 is predicted conserved by GERP++ and PhyloP across 100 vertebrates. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.

This variant has been reported in many individuals affected with … (more) The FGFR3 c.742C>T (p.Arg248Cys) variant was identified at an allelic fraction consistent with somatic origin. This variant has been reported in many individuals affected with epidermal nevi (Hafner C et al., PMID: 16841094; Bygum A et al., PMID: 21639936; Hafner C et al., PMID: 22499344; Collin B et al., PMID: 17441958; Hafner C et al., PMID: 17673550). This variant has been reported in the ClinVar database as a pathogenic/likely pathogenic variant by many submitters in both a germline and somatic state (ClinVar Variation ID: 16332), and it has been reported in multiple cases in the cancer database COSMIC (COSMIC ID: COSV53390662). The FGFR3 c.742C>T (p.Arg248Cys) variant is absent from the general population (gnomAD v.3.1.2), indicating it is not a common variant. This variant resides within the ligand binding region of the extracellular domain, amino acids 23‚Äì375, of FGFR3, which is defined as a critical functional domain (Logié A et al., PMID: 15772091). Functional studies show that this variant leads to ligand-independent receptor activation, downstream activation of the mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway, increased cellular proliferation, and impaired apoptosis in multiple cell lines (Naski MC et al., PMID: 8640234; Hafner C et al., PMID: 20420824). Computational predictors indicate that the variant is damaging, evidence that correlates with impact on FGFR3 function. Based on an internally developed protocol informed by the ACMG/AMP guidelines (Richards S et al., PMID: 25741868) and gene-specific practices from the ClinGen Criteria Specification Registry, the FGFR3 c.742C>T (p.Arg248Cys) variant is classified as pathogenic.

This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with thanatophoric dysplasia (PMID: 7773297, 10696568, 11241532). In at least one individual the variant was observed to be de novo. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 16332). An algorithm developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (PolyPhen-2) suggests that this variant is likely to be disruptive. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects FGFR3 function (PMID: 1908846, 25606676). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. (less)

Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. Consensus agreement among computation tools predict no significant impact on normal splicing. However, these predictions have yet to be confirmed by functional studies. The variant was absent in 236978 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.742C>T has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Thanatophoric Dysplasia or Achondroplasia (examples: Gomes_2018 and Liu_2019). At-least one of these cases was reported as a de novo occurrence (Liu_2019). The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 29593476, 31299979). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 16332). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. (less)

(1995) found an arg248-to-cys mutation resulting from a C-to-T transition at nucleotide 742 in 22 and a ser371-to-cys mutation (134934.0006) in 1. Both of these mutations were in the extracellular region of the FGFR3 protein. Although type II thanatophoric dysplasia (187601) cases have been found to have a single recurrent K650E change (134934.0004), type I cases have different mutations affecting either the extracellular or intracellular domains of FGFR3. However, mutations in the FGFR3 gene were identified in only approximately 60% of the type I TD cases. These findings, and the range of symptoms observed, suggested that type I TD is heterogeneous in genetic background. Pokharel et al. (1996) described a Japanese type I TD patient followed for more than 9 years. They found that the patient had the arg248-to-cys mutation as did 4 other Japanese cases of type I TD. No association was found with the ser371-to-cys mutation. The R248C mutation was the most frequent cause of thanatophoric dysplasia in the 91 cases reviewed in detail by Wilcox et al. (1998), occurring in almost 50% (45) of the cases. Although prenatal diagnosis of TD had been accomplished by ultrasonography in the second trimester, it was not always possible to distinguish between TD and other osteochondrodysplasias in utero. Using restriction enzyme analysis, Sawai et al. (1999) identified the common 742C-T mutation in the FGFR3 gene in a fetus at 27 weeks' gestation. Hyland et al. (2003) described a woman who was a somatic and germline mosaic for the R248C missense mutation in FGFR3. She had disproportionate short stature, rhizomelic limb shortening, and other skeletal features accompanied by widespread acanthosis nigricans. These features were clearly different from those seen in thanatophoric dysplasia or other skeletal dysplasias. Her only pregnancy ended in delivery of a fetus with lethal short-limb dwarfism and pulmonary hyperplasia, strongly suggestive of thanatophoric dysplasia. Nevus, Epidermal, Somatic Hafner et al. (2006) analyzed the FGFR3 gene in 39 common epidermal nevi (162900) from 33 patients and identified the R248C mutation in 10 of 11 mutation-positive patients; In 4 patients tested, FGFR3 mutations were not found in adjacent, histologically normal skin. Hafner et al. (2006) concluded that a large proportion of epidermal nevi are caused by mosaicism of activating FGFR3 mutations in the human epidermis secondary to a postzygotic mutation in early embryonic development, and that the R248C mutation appears to be a hotspot for FGFR3 mutations in epidermal nevi. Garcia-Vargas et al. (2008) reported a 5-year-old Mexican girl with epidermal nevi, mental impairment, and seizures in whom they identified somatic mosaicism for a heterozygous R248C mutation in lesional skin and lymphocytes but not in normal skin. She had generalized linear epidermal nevi with a soft, velvety texture following the lines of Blaschko, and sparing the scalp, palms, and soles. She had delayed development, and brain CT showed cortical and subcortical atrophy, a subdural hygroma, and hypoplasia of the corpus callosum. The findings suggested that the mutation involved the skin, brain, and blood cells. Although there were no skeletal anomalies, Garcia-Vargas et al. (2008) considered the phenotype to be consistent with a mosaic manifestation of TD type I, but also proposed a preliminary designation of 'FGFR3 epidermal nevus syndrome.' Multiple Myeloma, Somatic Intini et al. (2001) investigated FGFR3 mutations in a series of 53 multiple myeloma (254500) cases, 11 of which had a t(4;14) translocation and FGFR3 overexpression. The arg248-to-cys mutation was found in 1 case with t(4;14). Intini et al. (2001) concluded that FGFR3 mutations occur in only a small fraction of multiple myeloma cases with t(4;14). Keratosis, Seborrheic, Somatic Logie et al. (2005) identified a somatic R248C mutation in the FGFR3 gene in 5 seborrheic keratoses (182000). (less)

Although type II thanatophoric dysplasia (187601) cases have been found to have a single recurrent K650E change (134934.0004), type I cases have different mutations affecting either the extracellular or intracellular domains of FGFR3. However, mutations in the FGFR3 gene were identified in only approximately 60% of the type I TD cases. These findings, and the range of symptoms observed, suggested that type I TD is heterogeneous in genetic background. Pokharel et al. (1996) described a Japanese type I TD patient followed for more than 9 years. They found that the patient had the arg248-to-cys mutation as did 4 other Japanese cases of type I TD. No association was found with the ser371-to-cys mutation. The R248C mutation was the most frequent cause of thanatophoric dysplasia in the 91 cases reviewed in detail by Wilcox et al. (1998), occurring in almost 50% (45) of the cases. Although prenatal diagnosis of TD had been accomplished by ultrasonography in the second trimester, it was not always possible to distinguish between TD and other osteochondrodysplasias in utero. Using restriction enzyme analysis, Sawai et al. (1999) identified the common 742C-T mutation in the FGFR3 gene in a fetus at 27 weeks' gestation. Hyland et al. (2003) described a woman who was a somatic and germline mosaic for the R248C missense mutation in FGFR3. She had disproportionate short stature, rhizomelic limb shortening, and other skeletal features accompanied by widespread acanthosis nigricans. These features were clearly different from those seen in thanatophoric dysplasia or other skeletal dysplasias. Her only pregnancy ended in delivery of a fetus with lethal short-limb dwarfism and pulmonary hyperplasia, strongly suggestive of thanatophoric dysplasia. Nevus, Epidermal, Somatic Hafner et al. (2006) analyzed the FGFR3 gene in 39 common epidermal nevi (162900) from 33 patients and identified the R248C mutation in 10 of 11 mutation-positive patients; In 4 patients tested, FGFR3 mutations were not found in adjacent, histologically normal skin. Hafner et al. (2006) concluded that a large proportion of epidermal nevi are caused by mosaicism of activating FGFR3 mutations in the human epidermis secondary to a postzygotic mutation in early embryonic development, and that the R248C mutation appears to be a hotspot for FGFR3 mutations in epidermal nevi. Garcia-Vargas et al. (2008) reported a 5-year-old Mexican girl with epidermal nevi, mental impairment, and seizures in whom they identified somatic mosaicism for a heterozygous R248C mutation in lesional skin and lymphocytes but not in normal skin. She had generalized linear epidermal nevi with a soft, velvety texture following the lines of Blaschko, and sparing the scalp, palms, and soles. She had delayed development, and brain CT showed cortical and subcortical atrophy, a subdural hygroma, and hypoplasia of the corpus callosum. The findings suggested that the mutation involved the skin, brain, and blood cells. Although there were no skeletal anomalies, Garcia-Vargas et al. (2008) considered the phenotype to be consistent with a mosaic manifestation of TD type I, but also proposed a preliminary designation of 'FGFR3 epidermal nevus syndrome.' Multiple Myeloma, Somatic Intini et al. (2001) investigated FGFR3 mutations in a series of 53 multiple myeloma (254500) cases, 11 of which had a t(4;14) translocation and FGFR3 overexpression.

Comment:

Reported many times in association with thanatophoric dysplasia type 1 (TD1) and is one of five common, recurrent pathogenic variants responsible for this severe skeletal dysplasia (Rousseau et al., 1996; Wilcox et al., 1998; Tavormina et al., 1995; Del Piccolo et al., 2015); Accounts for approximately 50% of thanatophoric dysplasia cases (Wilcox et al., 1998); Published functional studies indicate R248C alters FGFR3 dimer stabilization, activates FGFR3 by forming covalently bound dimers via disuldide bonds, and stimulates ERK phosphorylation (Del Piccolo et al., 2015; Foldynova-Trantirkova et al., 2012; Duperret et al., 2014); Not observed in large population cohorts (Lek et al., 2016); In silico analysis, which includes protein predictors and evolutionary conservation, supports a deleterious effect; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 24038754, 21639936, 16778799, 22106050, 20704477, 25671245, 8845844, 25606676, 20420824, 22045636, 23551494, 11241532, 24626198, 23786770, 19422094, 9215781, 17441958, 7773297, 18642369, 11754059, 27433940, 16841094, 19088846, 12108063, 17048442, 17375526, 20711586, 9182787, 29620724, 19789973, 30692697, 31299979, 31395954, 31218223, 31006186, 12833394, 9677066, 31994750, 32360156, 32668031, 32333414, 33258288)

Comment:

The FGFR3 c.742C>T; p.Arg248Cys variant (rs121913482) is classified as pathogenic by several sources in the ClinVar database (Variation ID: 16332) and is described as one of the most common FGFR3 variants identified in cases of autosomal dominant thanatophoric dysplasia (TD) (Tavormina 1995, Wilcox 1998). In one cohort, the p.Arg248Cys variant was identified in 45 out of 91 cases of TD (Wilcox 1998). Additionally, genotyping has demonstrated that this variant is absent in both parents of some affected individuals (Tavormina 1995, Takagi 2012), suggesting it may frequently arise de novo. While the majority of variant carriers are severely affected, p.Arg248Cys has also been identified in patients with milder forms of skeletal dysplasia, which is typically attributed to somatic mosaicism of the p.Arg248Cys variant (Hyland 2003, Takagi 2012). Functional studies indicate the p.Arg248Cys variant promotes ligand-independent FGFR3 dimerization (Del Piccolo 2015), which is predicted to result in constitutive receptor activation, as is observed with other cysteine-substituted FGFR3 variants associated with TD type I (Adar 2002). Based on available information, this variant is considered to be pathogenic. REFERENCES Adar R et al.

Comment:

The R248C missense variant in the FGFR3 gene has been reported with thanatophoric dysplasia I (TDI) and is one of five common, recurrent pathogenic variants responsible for this severe skeletal dysplasia (Tavormina et al., 1995; Del Piccolo et al., 2015). Recent functional studies have indicated the p.Arg248Cys variant promotes ligand-independent FGFR3 dimerization (Del Piccolo 2015), which is predicted to result in constitutive receptor activation, as is observed with other cysteine-substituted FGFR3 variants associated with TD type I (Adar 2002). The variant has been submitted to ClinVar as Pathogenic. The p.R248C variant is novel (not in any individuals) in gnomAD Exomes and is novel (not in any individuals) in 1000 Genomes. The p.R248C missense variant is predicted to be damaging by both SIFT and PolyPhen2. The arginine residue at codon 248 of FGFR3 is conserved in all mammalian species. The nucleotide c.742 in FGFR3 is predicted conserved by GERP++ and PhyloP across 100 vertebrates. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.

Comment:

The FGFR3 c.742C>T (p.Arg248Cys) variant was identified at an allelic fraction consistent with somatic origin. This variant has been reported in many individuals affected with epidermal nevi (Hafner C et al., PMID: 16841094; Bygum A et al., PMID: 21639936; Hafner C et al., PMID: 22499344; Collin B et al., PMID: 17441958; Hafner C et al., PMID: 17673550). This variant has been reported in the ClinVar database as a pathogenic/likely pathogenic variant by many submitters in both a germline and somatic state (ClinVar Variation ID: 16332), and it has been reported in multiple cases in the cancer database COSMIC (COSMIC ID: COSV53390662). The FGFR3 c.742C>T (p.Arg248Cys) variant is absent from the general population (gnomAD v.3.1.2), indicating it is not a common variant. This variant resides within the ligand binding region of the extracellular domain, amino acids 23‚Äì375, of FGFR3, which is defined as a critical functional domain (Logié A et al., PMID: 15772091). Functional studies show that this variant leads to ligand-independent receptor activation, downstream activation of the mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway, increased cellular proliferation, and impaired apoptosis in multiple cell lines (Naski MC et al., PMID: 8640234; Hafner C et al., PMID: 20420824). Computational predictors indicate that the variant is damaging, evidence that correlates with impact on FGFR3 function. Based on an internally developed protocol informed by the ACMG/AMP guidelines (Richards S et al., PMID: 25741868) and gene-specific practices from the ClinGen Criteria Specification Registry, the FGFR3 c.742C>T (p.Arg248Cys) variant is classified as pathogenic.

Comment:

c.742C>T in FGFR3 is a variant known to account for the majority (66.5%) of cases with thanatophoric dysplasia type I, with functional studies showing that it leads to ligand-independent FGFR3 dimerization. This variant has been reported in ClinVar (Variation ID 16332), but is absent from a large population dataset. We consider c.742C>T; p.Arg248Cys in FGFR3 to be pathogenic.

Comment:

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 248 of the FGFR3 protein (p.Arg248Cys). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with thanatophoric dysplasia (PMID: 7773297, 10696568, 11241532). In at least one individual the variant was observed to be de novo. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 16332). An algorithm developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (PolyPhen-2) suggests that this variant is likely to be disruptive. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects FGFR3 function (PMID: 1908846, 25606676). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.

Comment:

Variant summary: FGFR3 c.742C>T (p.Arg248Cys) 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. Consensus agreement among computation tools predict no significant impact on normal splicing. However, these predictions have yet to be confirmed by functional studies. The variant was absent in 236978 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.742C>T has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Thanatophoric Dysplasia or Achondroplasia (examples: Gomes_2018 and Liu_2019). At-least one of these cases was reported as a de novo occurrence (Liu_2019). The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 29593476, 31299979). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 16332). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic.

Comment:

Well-established in vitro or in vivo functional studies supportive of a damaging effect on the gene or gene product (PMID: 1908846; 25606676) - PS3_moderate.The c.742C>T;p.(Arg248Cys) missense variant has been observed in affected individual(s) and ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (ClinVar ID: 16332; PMID: 10696568; PMID: 7773297; PMID: 11241532) - PS4. This variant is not present in population databases (rs121913482- gnomAD; ABraOM no frequency - http://abraom.ib.usp.br/) - PM2. The variant was assumed de novo, but without confirmation of paternity and maternity (PMID: 7773297) - PM6. Multiple lines of computational evidence support a deleterious effect on the gene or gene product - PP3. In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic.

Comment:

The heterozygous mis-sense insertion variant c.742C>T (p.R248C) has been previously reported by Tavormina P L et al in 1995 and it has not been observed in gnomAD and 1000g. In-silico bioinformatic software predict this variant by mutation taster as Disease causing and SIFT & PROVEAN as Damaging. The phenotype observed was large head, short neck with increased nuchal thickness, protuberant abdomen and narrow thorax. Thanatophoric Dysplasia type I is an autosomal dominant disorder. Based on the phenotypic observation, we classify this variant as pathogenic.

Comment:

The FGFR3 c.742C>T variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Arg248Cys. This variant has repeatedly been reported to be causative for autosomal dominant thanatophoric dysplasia (Tavormina et al. 1995. PubMed ID: 7773297; Camera et al. 2001. PubMed ID: 11754059; Castori et al. 2013. PubMed ID: 24038754; Table S3b, Wojcik et al. 2019. PubMed ID: 31395954; Table S1, Maddirevula et al. 2018. PubMed ID: 29620724). This variant has not been reported in a large population database, indicating this variant is rare. This variant is interpreted as pathogenic.
