The variant identified has been previously reported as a VUS. The present case provides further evidence towards the pathogenicity of the variant. A plausible genotype-phenotype correlation based on the location of the variant has been verified, wherein the position of a nonsense variant in the terminal exon of FAM20C gene, could have had a partial effect on the protein function, thereby resulting in a relatively milder phenotype and extended lifespan. Furthermore, the vast phenotypic variation on clinical comparison current case and a previously reported case, despite having the same genotype, could suggest an oligogenic effect and/ or environmental influence.
