RCV000255928 | SCV000321638 | pathogenic | not provided | 2018-07-19 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | The N540K pathogenic variant in the FGFR3 gene has been reported previously in the heterozygous state in multiple individuals with hypochondroplasia, as well as achondroplasia (Bellus et al., 1995; Xue et al., 2014). The N540K variant occurs in a tyrosine kinase domain of FGFR3 and functional studies show that this variant results in significantly reduced expression patterns and reduced STAT1 phosphorylation (Raffioni et al., 1998; Krejci et al., 2008). The N540K variant is a semi-conservative amino acid substitution, which may impact secondary protein structure as these residues differ in some properties. In-silico analyses, including protein predictors and evolutionary conservation, support a deleterious effect. The N540K variant is not observed in large population cohorts (Lek et al., 2016). We interpret N540K as a pathogenic variant. |

Together with another variant resulting in the same amino acid change (c.1620C>G; p.Asn540Lys), these account for over 50% of all hypochondroplasia cases (Bellus 2000, Linnankivi 2012, Xue 2014). The asparagine at codon 540 is highly conserved, and functional analyses of the variant protein show significant reductions in protein expression and kinase activity (Krejci 2008, Raffioni 1998). Based on available information, this variant is considered to be pathogenic. References: Bellus GA et al.

Invitae | RCV000528114 | SCV000640361 | pathogenic | Craniosynostosis syndrome | 2020-01-02 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | This sequence change replaces asparagine with lysine at codon 540 of the FGFR3 protein (p.Asn540Lys). The asparagine residue is highly conserved and there is a moderate physicochemical difference between asparagine and lysine. This variant is not present in population databases (rs28933068, ExAC no frequency). This variant is one of the most commonly reported causes of sporadic or familial hypochondroplasia (PMID: 7670477, 8589686, 9452043, 25614871). A different variant (c.1620C>G) giving rise to the same protein effect observed here (p.Asn540Lys) is also commonly reported in individuals affected with hypochondroplasia, and together these variants account for 50 to 76% of all cases (PMID: 11055896, 23165795, 25614871). This variant is also known as c.1659C>A in the literature. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. |
