Ambry Genetics RCV000492164 SCV000580756 pathogenic Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome 2018-03-23 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing The c.3delG pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 1 of the FLCN gene, results from a deletion of one nucleotide at position 3, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.M1Ifs*52). This pathogenic mutation has been identified in multiple Birt-Hogg-Dube syndrome (BHDS) families with several individuals who have a history of spontaneous pneumothorax and/or multiple characteristic skin lesions, including pathologically confirmed fibrofolliculomas (Bessis D et al. Br J Dermatol. 2006 Nov;155(5):1067-9; Kluger N et al. Br J Dermatol. 2010 Mar;162(3):527-37). Of note, this alteration may be referred to as c.458delG in some literature. In addition to the clinical data presented in the literature, this alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. As such, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation.
