Description
The p.Cys342Tyr variant in FGFR2 has been reported in the literature in >20 individuals with syndromic craniosynostosis (such as Crouzon or Pfeiffer syndromes) and segregated with disease in four affected individuals from one family (Reardon 2013 PMID: 7987400; Schwartz 1996 PMID: 8650126; Roscioli 2013 PMID: 24127277; Paumard-Hernández 2015 PMID: 25271085). This variant was also confirmed de novo in a boy with a clinical diagnosis of Crouzon syndrome through trio WGS analysis by the Broad Institute Rare Genomes Project. This variant has been reported in ClinVar as pathogenic by multiple labs (Variation ID 13263). It is absent from large population studies. In vitro functional studies support an impact on protein function (Krejci 2012 PMID: 22558232), and animal models in mice have shown that this variant in heterozygous mice causes features of syndromic craniosynostosis (Eswarakumar 2004 PMID: 15316116). Additionally, other missense variants in this codon (p.Cys342Arg, p.Cys342Trp, p.Cys342Ser, p.Cys342Phe, p.Cys342Gly) have been identified in individuals with Crouzon syndrome suggesting that this position is critical for protein function. In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for autosomal dominant craniosynostosis. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: PS2, PS3, PS4, PM1, PM2, PP1.
