Genes affected
TMEM231 (HGNC:37234): (transmembrane protein 231) This gene encodes a transmembrane protein, which is a component of the B9 complex involved in the formation of the diffusion barrier between the cilia and plasma membrane. Mutations in this gene cause Joubert syndrome (JBTS). Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2013]

Joubert syndrome 20;C3809352:Meckel syndrome, type 11 Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeJul 08, 2023ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 39821). This sequence change replaces methionine, which is neutral and non-polar, with lysine, which is basic and polar, at codon 25 of the TMEM231 protein (p.Met25Lys). The frequency data for this variant in the population databases is considered unreliable, as metrics indicate poor data quality at this position in the gnomAD database. This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with Joubert syndrome (PMID: 23012439). 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. This variant is also known as c.12T>A, p.Tyr4*. Experimental studies and prediction algorithms are not available or were not evaluated, and the functional significance of this variant is currently unknown. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Pathogenic, no assertion criteria providedliterature onlyOMIMOct 01, 2012- -
not specified Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpOct 29, 2021Variant summary: TMEM231 c.74T>A (p.Met25Lys) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the longest isoform (NM_001077416.2) of the encoded protein sequence. Three of four in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. However, the variant results in a nonsense alteration, c.12T>A (p.Tyr4X), in the canonical isoform of TMEM231 (NM_001077418.1; Srour_2012), in addition, it abolishes the translation initiation methionine (c.2T>A (p.Met1?)) in another isoform of TMEM231 (NM_001077416.1). The variant allele was found at a frequency of 1.5e-05 in 131278 control chromosomes (gnomAD). The variant, described as c.12T>A (p.Tyr4X) has been reported in the literature in three compound heterozygous Canadian-French individuals from 2 families, who were affected with Joubert Syndrome and Related Disorders (Srour_2012, Srour_2015). These data indicate that the variant may be associated with disease. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. No clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as VUS-possibly pathogenic. -
