SHFM occurs as an isolated entity or part of genetic syndromes with several causative copy-number variations or monogenic alterations known to be involved in the disease pathomechanism. On the other hand, cleft lip\/palate (CL\/P) usually results from polygenic and environmental factors, with the complex interplay of both leading to this malformation. Pathogenic variants in FGFR1 have been linked to phenotypically distinct disorders, including Hartsfield syndrome, Kallmann syndrome, Jackson\u2013Weiss syndrome, osteoglophonic dysplasia, and Pfeiffer syndrome. Although pathogenic variants in FGFR1 can contribute to syndromic SHFM or CL\/P, their role in isolated SHFM or CL remains poorly described in the literature. Methods: We conducted targeted next-generation sequencing (NGS) in the proband with SHFM, followed by segregation analysis in the family members. Results: In this study, we report an index patient presenting with isolated SHFM and his brother with CL and facial dysmorphism, as well as their father with isolated hyposmia. Targeted next-generation sequencing revealed a previously reported heterozygous missense pathogenic variant in FGFR1 (c.830G&gt;A; p.Cys277Tyr) in both affected siblings and their hyposmic father. Conclusions: This study expands the phenotypic spectrum associated with FGFR1 pathogenic variants, emphasizing their involvement in non-syndromic SHFM and CL or isolated hyposmia. Our findings highlight the importance of considering FGFR1 in the molecular diagnosis of isolated SHFM or orofacial clefting, point to the high intrafamilial variability of FGFR1 pathogenic variants, and demonstrate the diagnostic value of targeted NGS in rare congenital malformations.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/genes16050495","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,29]],"date-time":"2025-04-29T11:00:54Z","timestamp":1745924454000},"page":"495","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Intrafamilial Phenotypic Variability of the FGFR1 p.Cys277Tyr Variant: A Case Report and Review of the Literature"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"16","author":[{"given":"Anna","family":"Szoszkiewicz","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Doctoral School, Department of Medical Genetics, Poznan University of Medical Sciences, Rokietnicka 8, 60-806 Poznan, Poland"},{"name":"Department of Medical Genetics, Poznan University of Medical Sciences, Rokietnicka 8, 60-806 Poznan, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2493-898X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Anna","family":"Sowi\u0144ska-Seidler","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medical Genetics, Poznan University of Medical Sciences, Rokietnicka 8, 60-806 Poznan, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2898-4190","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Karolina","family":"Gruca-Stryjak","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Perinatology Department, Poznan University of Medical Sciences, Polna 33, 60-535 Poznan, Poland"},{"name":"Diagnostyka GENESIS, D\u0105browskiego 77A, 60-529 Poznan, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4058-3901","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Aleksander","family":"Jamsheer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medical Genetics, Poznan University of Medical Sciences, Rokietnicka 8, 60-806 Poznan, Poland"},{"name":"Diagnostyka GENESIS, D\u0105browskiego 77A, 60-529 Poznan, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"593","DOI":"10.1136\/jmg.30.7.593","article-title":"An epidemiological study of isolated split hand\/foot in Hungary, 1975\u20131984","volume":"30","author":"Czeizel","year":"1993","journal-title":"J.
