RCV005198680 | SCV005837479 | pathogenic | X-linked myopathy with postural muscle atrophy | 2024-12-27 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | This sequence change results in a frameshift in the FHL1 gene (p.Gln270Alafs*14). While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the last 11 amino acid(s) of the FHL1 protein and extend the protein by 2 additional amino acid residues. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with FHL1-related conditions. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may create or strengthen a splice site. This variant disrupts a region of the FHL1 protein in which other variant(s) (p.Cys276Tyr) have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 19716112, 22523091, 24634512). 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. |
