Invitae RCV000239633 SCV000549454 pathogenic Birt-Hogg-Dube syndrome 2023-10-24 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Gln285*) in the FLCN gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in FLCN are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 15852235). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with Birt-Hogg-Dubé syndrome (PMID: 24393238). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 253239). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.

Ambry Genetics RCV002446482 SCV002676763 pathogenic Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome 2020-07-09 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing The p.Q285* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.853C>T), located in coding exon 5 of the FLCN gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 853. This changes the amino acid from a glutamine to a stop codon within coding exon 5. This alteration was identified in a 52-year-old Caucasian male with innumerable facial fibrofolliculomas and trichodiscomas, a history of bilateral spontaneous pneumothoraces, and a unilateral oncocytic/ chromophobe renal tumor with low-grade renal cell carcinoma features; his son reportedly had similar facial skin lesions and history of recurrent pneumothorax (Ge L et al. Med. J. Aust. 2016 Jan;204:28-9). This alteration was also identified in a cohort of Asian Birt-Hogg-Dube syndrome patients (Kumasaka T et al. Histopathology. 2014 Jul;65:100-10). 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.
