Membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis including C3 glomerulopathy

Gene: CFI

After NHS Genomic Medicine Service consideration, the rating of this gene has not been changed and remains green.

The following is the comment from GMS reviewers:
The target is included in current screening. Sequence data provides clinically informative information to the NRCTC. An audit of genotype:phenotype correlation is ongoing with in the NRCTC with a completion date in the New Year. We are requesting that this target remains within the panel to enable collation of audit data.

Red List (low evidence)

There are no reports I am aware of of mutations in this gene co-segregating with familial MPGN. Therefore this should not be regarded as a diagnostic gene. Rare variants have been reported in patients with MPGN in uncontrolled candidate gene sequencing studies.

Red List (low evidence)

Comment on list classification: Changing rating from Green to Amber. Expert review has rated this gene red. No famililal cases reported, and cases that are reported looked at candidate genes only.

Only renal phenotype in OMIM this gene is associated with is {Hemolytic uremic syndrome, atypical, susceptibility to, 3} 612923.

Papers cited by the BRIDGE consortium
PMID: 18371543 - Boyer et al 2008 - Patient 1 with atypical hemolytic and uremic syndrome had combined CFH and CFI heterozygous mutations.

PMID: 22456601 - Servais et al 2012 - for 141 patients from 45 centers with a definite diagnosis of primary MPGN I, DDD, or GNC3 they performed direct sequencing of CFH, CFI, or MCP exons and of a set of 10 SNPs within the CFH and MCP genes. 6 patients had heterozygous variants in CFI, 3 of which are reported in patients with MPGN histology (Table 2).

Following expert review rating this gene Red, and review of the literature this gene should be down graded to Amber or Red.
