Genes affected

BBS2 (HGNC:967): (Bardet-Biedl syndrome 2) This gene is a member of the Bardet-Biedl syndrome (BBS) gene family. Bardet-Biedl syndrome is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by severe pigmentary retinopathy, obesity, polydactyly, renal malformation and cognitive disability. The proteins encoded by BBS gene family members are structurally diverse and the similar phenotypes exhibited by mutations in BBS gene family members is likely due to their shared roles in cilia formation and function. Many BBS proteins localize to the basal bodies, ciliary axonemes, and pericentriolar regions of cells. BBS proteins may also be involved in intracellular trafficking via microtubule-related transport. The protein encoded by this gene forms a multiprotein BBSome complex with seven other BBS proteins.[provided by RefSeq, Oct 2014]

(Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD), Cambridge, MA (URL: http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org)) This variant appears to segregate with Bardet-Biedl syndrome in at least one family. Assessment of experimental evidence suggests this variant results in abnormal protein function. (PMID: 20798079) In multiple individuals, this variant has been seen with a single recessive pathogenic variant in the same gene, suggesting this variant may also be pathogenic. -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	curation	Broad Center for Mendelian Genomics, Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard	May 04, 2022	The heterozygous p.Arg632Pro variant in BBS2 was identified by our study, along with another pathogenic variant, in 1 individual with retinitis pigmentosa 74. The variant has been reported in 6 individuals of unknown and Ashkenazi Jewish ethnicities with retinitis pigmentosa 74 (PMID: 25133751, 25412400, 25541840, 28559085), and has been identified in 0.3% (29/10370) of Ashkenazi Jewish, 0.004% (1/25116) of European Finnish, and 0.0008% (1/129168) of European non-Finnish chromosomes by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org; dbSNP ID: rs138043021). Although this variant has been seen in the general population, its frequency is not high enough to rule out a pathogenic role. This variant has also been reported in ClinVar (Variation ID: 4578) as pathogenic by Illumina Clinical Services Laboratory, Blueprint Genetics, Integrated Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, OMIM, and Sharon lab,Hadassah-Hebrew University Medical Center, and as likely pathogenic by Counsyl and Invitae. Animal models in zebrafish have shown that this variant causes retinitis pigmentosa 74 (PMID: 20498079). Computational prediction tools and conservation analyses suggest that this variant may impact the protein, though this information is not predictive enough to determine pathogenicity. The presence of this variant in 4 affected homozygotes, in combination with a reported pathogenic variant, and in 6 individuals with retinitis pigmentosa 74 increases the likelihood that the p.Arg632Pro variant is pathogenic (Variation ID: 4570; PMID: 25133751, 25412400, 25541840, 28559085). In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for retinitis pigmentosa 74 in an autosomal recessive manner based on its disease-causing effect in an animal model, and its homozygous occurrence and occurrence with other pathogenic variants in affected individuals. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: PS3, PM3_strong, PP3 (Richards 2015). -

BBS2-related disorder

Pathogenic:2

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Illumina Laboratory Services, Illumina	Apr 28, 2017	The BBS2 c.1895G>C (p.Arg632Pro) missense variant has been reported in six studies in which it is found in a total of 10 patients with BBS2-related disorders. The p.Arg632Pro variant was identified in a compound heterozygous state in four individuals with Bardet-Biedl syndrome (BBS), three of whom carry a third variant in another BBS-associated gene (Katsanis et al. 2001; Bin et al. 2009; Chen et al. 2011; Deveault et al. 2011). The p.Arg632Pro variant was also identified in patients with retinitis pigmentosa, in a homozygous state in four individuals and in a compound heterozygous state in two individuals (Watson et al. 2014; Shevach et al. 2015). Control data are unavailable for this variant, which is reported at a frequency of 0.00021 in the European (non-Finnish) population of the Exome Aggregation Consortium. Functional studies using translation blocking morpholinos for bbs2 in zebrafish demonstrate that the variant was unable to rescue the phenotype and is therefore considered a null allele (Zaghloul et al. 2010). Based on the collective evidence, the p.Arg632Pro variant is classified as pathogenic for BBS2-related disorders. This variant was observed by ICSL as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. -
Pathogenic, no assertion criteria provided	clinical testing	PreventionGenetics, part of Exact Sciences	Aug 08, 2024	The BBS2 c.1895G>C variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Arg632Pro. This sequence variant has been reported in multiple individuals with Bardet-Biedl syndrome, retinitis pigmentosa, and cone-rod dystrophy (Katsanis et al. 2001. PubMed ID: 11567139; Bin et al. 2009. PubMed ID: 19402160; Consugar et al. 2015. PubMed ID: 25412400; Shevach et al. 2015. PubMed ID: 25541840). We have also seen this variant in the heterozygous state at PreventionGenetics in an individual with BBS who also was heterozygous for a nonsense variant in BBS2. This variant is reported in 0.28% of alleles in individuals of Ashkenazi Jewish descent in gnomAD. This variant is interpreted as pathogenic. -

Bardet-Biedl syndrome

Pathogenic:2

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp	Jan 21, 2024	This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with proline, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 632 of the BBS2 protein (p.Arg632Pro). This variant is present in population databases (rs138043021, gnomAD 0.3%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with retinitis pigmentosa (PMID: 21052717, 22401627, 25133751, 25412400, 25541840, 28559085). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 4578). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt BBS2 protein function with a positive predictive value of 80%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects BBS2 function (PMID: 20498079). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp	Apr 05, 2016	Variant summary: The c.1895G>C in BBS2 gene is a missense change that alters a conserved nucleotide and 4/4 in silico tools predict deleterious outcome. The variant was observed in the large and broad cohorts of the ExAC project at an allele frequency of 0.012% exclusively in individuals of European descent (0.02%). This frequency does not exceed the maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in BBS2 gene (0.085%). Fedick (2014) reports the carrier frequency of 0.261% (0.0064%) for Jewish population. The variant of interest has been reported in multiple BBS pts in compound heterozygous state (Katsanis, 2001, Bin, 2009, Daniels, 2012, Deveault, 2011, Fedick, 2014, and Shevach, 2014), one patient (compound heterozyote) with IRDs (Consugar, 2015), and in 4 individuals (2 homozygotes and 2 compound heterozygotes) presented with nonsyndromic autosomal recessive RP (Shevach, 2014). In functional studies the variant acted as null allele (Zaghloul, 2010). Taking together, the variant was classified as Pathogenic. -

The c.1895G>C (p.R632P) alteration is located in exon 15 (coding exon 15) of the BBS2 gene. This alteration results from a G to C substitution at nucleotide position 1895, causing the arginine (R) at amino acid position 632 to be replaced by a proline (P). Based on data from the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD) database, the BBS2 c.1895G>C alteration was observed in 0.01% (32/282854) of total alleles studied, with a frequency of 0.28% (29/10370) in the Ashkenazi Jewish subpopulation. This alteration has been noted in a homozygous state in individuals presenting with retinitis pigmentosa (Watson, 2014; Shevach, 2015) and in a compound heterozygous state in individuals presenting with Bardet-Biedl syndrome (Janssen, 2011;Stone, 2017). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. This alteration is located in the alpha-helical domain of BBS2. Functional evidence suggests that this alteration disrupts the formation of the alpha-helix, leading to impaired interaction between BBS2 and BBS9 (Zaghloul, 2010; Ludlam, 2019). The p.R632P alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Based on the available evidence, this alteration is classified as pathogenic. -
