Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp RCV003518770 SCV004295330 pathogenic Autoimmune lymphoproliferative syndrome type 1 2023-11-04 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing This sequence change replaces leucine, which is neutral and non-polar, with phenylalanine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 180 of the FAS protein (p.Leu180Phe). RNA analysis indicates that this missense change induces altered splicing and likely results in a shortened protein product. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with autosomal recessive autoimmune lymphoproliferative syndrome (PMID: 28668589). 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) has been performed at Invitae for this missense variant, however the output from this modeling did not meet the statistical confidence thresholds required to predict the impact of this variant on FAS protein function. Studies have shown that this missense change results in skipping of exon 6, but is expected to preserve the integrity of the reading-frame (PMID: 28668589). This variant disrupts a region of the FAS protein in which other variant(s) (p.Leu179Arg) have been determined to be pathogenic (Invitae). 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.
