Description
A heterozygous missense variant, NM_212482.3(FN1):c.2918A>G, has been identified in exon 19 of 46 of the FN1 gene (NB: This variant is non-coding in alternative transcripts). The variant is predicted to result in a major amino acid change from tyrosine to cysteine at position 973 of the protein (NP_997647.1(FN1):p.(Tyr973Cys)). The tyrosine residue at this position has very high conservation (100 vertebrates, UCSC), and is located within the Hep III heparin-binding domain (Castelletti, F., et al. (2008)) and fibronectin type III functional domain. In silico predictions for this variant are consistently pathogenic (Polyphen, SIFT, CADD, Mutation Taster). The variant is absent in the gnomAD population database. The variant has been previously described as pathogenic and segregated with disease in multiple families with glomerulopathy with fibronectin deposits (ClinVar, Ohtsubo, H., et al. (2016), Ertoy Baydar, D., et al. (2013)). Based on the information available at the time of curation, this variant has been classified as PATHOGENIC.
