RCV002006950 | SCV002293835 | pathogenic | X-linked myopathy with postural muscle atrophy | 2023-10-03 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | This sequence change results in a frameshift in the FHL1 gene (p.Cys273Ilefs*18). While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the last 8 amino acid(s) of the FHL1 protein and extend the protein by 9 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. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 1506742). 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. |
