Genes affected

RERE (HGNC:9965): (arginine-glutamic acid dipeptide repeats) This gene encodes a member of the atrophin family of arginine-glutamic acid (RE) dipeptide repeat-containing proteins. The encoded protein co-localizes with a transcription factor in the nucleus, and its overexpression triggers apoptosis. A similar protein in mouse associates with histone deacetylase and is thought to function as a transcriptional co-repressor during embryonic development. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 12 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a hotspot region, there are 3 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 1 benign, 2 uncertain in NM_001042681.2
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP3: No computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, but strongly conserved according to phyloP
• PP5: Variant 1-8358216-T-TGGTGGA is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr1-8358216-T-TGGTGGA is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 418456.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.
• BP3: Nonframeshift variant in repetitive region in NM_001042681.2

The RERE variant c.4313_4318dupTCCACC p. (Leu1438_His1439dup) is an in-frame duplication of 6 bps in exon(s) no. 20 (of 23), which causes the duplication of 2 residues. According to HGMD Professional 2024.1, this variant has previously been described as disease causing for Neurodevelopmental disorder with brain, eye and heart anomalies. ClinVar lists this variant (Interpretation: Pathogenic; Variation ID: 418456). It is classified as likely pathogenic based on CENTOGENE's implementation of the ACMG/AMP/ClinGen SVI guidelines. -

Based on the classification scheme VCGS_Germline_v1.3.4, this variant is classified as Pathogenic. Following criteria are met: 0102 - Loss of function is a known mechanism of disease in this gene and is associated with neurodevelopmental disorder with or without anomalies of the brain, eye, or heart (MIM#616975). (I) 0107 - This gene is associated with autosomal dominant disease. (I) 0213 - In-frame insertion/deletion in a non-repetitive region that has high conservation. (SP) 0251 - This variant is heterozygous. (I) 0301 - Variant is absent from gnomAD (both v2 and v3). (SP) 0600 - Variant is located in the annotated Atrophin-1 domain (PDB). (I) 0801 - This variant has strong previous evidence of pathogenicity in unrelated individuals. It has been reported as de novo in multiple individuals with CHARGE-like syndrome (PMIDs: 27087320, 29300383, 29330883) and as pathogenic in ClinVar. (SP) 1203 - This variant has been shown to be de novo in the proband (parental status confirmed) (by trio analysis).

The apparently de novo c.4313_4318dupTCCACC variant in the RERE gene has been reported previously as de novo in an individual with microcephaly, developmental delay, short stature, congenital heart defects, unilateral iris coloboma, choanal atresia, cryptorchidism, thin corpus callosum and ventriculomegaly (Fregeau et al., 2016). The c.4313_4318dupTCCACC variant represents the in-frame duplication of two amino acids, Leucine 1438 and Histidine 1439, denoted p.Leu1438_His1439dup. The duplicated residues are well conserved across species. The c.4313_4318dupTCCACC variant was not observed in approximately 6500 individuals of European and African American ancestry in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, indicating it is not a common variant in these populations. Therefore, we now interpret c.4313_4318dupTCCACC as a pathogenic variant. -
