Invitae | RCV002511084 | SCV001576631 | likely pathogenic | not provided | 2023-07-18 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic for autosomal recessive fumarate hydratase deficiency. However, this variant is not likely to confer risk for autosomal dominant hereditary leiomyomatosis and renal cell cancer. This variant disrupts the mitochondria-targeting sequence (MTS) of the FH protein, which is important for protein import into the mitochondria (PMID: 27037871). This suggests that disruption of this region is causative of fumarate hydratase deficiency. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 1067616). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with FH-related conditions. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change affects the initiator methionine of the FH mRNA. The next in-frame methionine is located at codon 44. FH has two initiator codons, p.Met1 and p.Met44, which result in two different functional isoforms that localize to the mitochondria and cytosol, respectively (PMID: 21929734, 27037871). Loss-of-function variants in FH are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 11865300, 21398687). Variants affecting the mitochondrial isoform confer risk for fumarate hydratase deficiency, while variants that affect the cytosolic isoform confer risk for hereditary leiomyomatosis and renal cell cancer. |
