The recorded framework is Not recorded. The criteria and strengths shown below come from the saved assessment; this page does not recalculate the classification.
The applied criteria and their strengths are shown as assessed under the stated framework.
In one patient with pheochromocytoma, PCC tissue analysis of this variant revealed loss of heterozygosity at the FH locus and positive 2-SC (S-(2-succinyl)cysteine) immunostaining, confirming FH deficiency in the tumor and supporting a deleterious functional effect.
This variant is extremely rare in population databases: gnomAD v2.1 allele frequency is 7.96e-06 (0.00080%, 2/251,290 alleles, 0 homozygotes) and gnomAD v4.1 allele frequency is 2.48e-06 (0.00025%, 4/1,613,958 alleles, 0 homozygotes). Both are well below the 0.1% PM2 threshold for a rare disease gene.
Multiple in silico tools predict a deleterious effect: REVEL score of 0.799 is in the pathogenic range. SpliceAI predicts no splice impact (max delta = 0.00), so the predicted effect is at the protein level.
No benign criterion marked as applied in the recorded assessment.
gene-specific framework lacked a usable explicit final combination framework, so generic ACMG/AMP 2015 final-combination rules were applied as fallback; applied criteria: PS3 supporting, PM2 moderate, PP3 supporting; combination = 1 moderate + 2 supporting, which maps to VUS.

4 Likely pathogenic · 1 Uncertain significance · 1 Pathogenic. ClinVar API review status: criteria provided, conflicting classifications.
OncoKB did not identify variant-specific reviewed functional evidence for this variant; gene-level curated context is available for reviewer follow-up. FH, an enzyme that converts fumarate to malate in the TCA cycle, is infrequently altered in cancer.
This variant has previously been reported in somatic cancers (COSMIC; COSV63818256, n = 2 times).
This variant does not lie in a statistically significant hotspot.

This missense variant (c.151C>T, p.Arg51Trp) is extremely rare in population databases (gnomAD v2.1 allele frequency 0.00080%, v4.1 allele frequency 0.00025%), meeting PM2 at moderate strength.
In one patient with pheochromocytoma, tumor tissue analysis revealed loss of heterozygosity at the FH locus and positive 2-SC immunostaining confirming FH deficiency, providing functional evidence at supporting strength (PS3_supporting).
Multiple in silico tools predict a deleterious effect (REVEL score 0.799), supporting a pathogenic role at the protein level (PP3_supporting).
The variant has been reported in ClinVar (VariationID 649446) as Likely pathogenic by multiple clinical laboratories (4 LP, 1 P, 1 VUS), but no expert panel review is available; PP5 is not met.
PVS1 is not applicable as this is a missense variant. PS4 is not met due to insufficient published case numbers. Remaining pathogenic and benign criteria are not met.
