Genes affected

WDR62 (HGNC:24502): (WD repeat domain 62) This gene is proposed to play a role in cerebral cortical development. Mutations in this gene have been associated with microencephaly, cortical malformations, and cognitive disability. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 19 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product undergoes nonsense mediated mRNA decay. LoF is a known mechanism of disease.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP3: Splicing scoreres supports a deletorius effect: Scorers claiming Pathogenic: max_spliceai. No scorers claiming Uncertain. No scorers claiming Benign.
• PP5: Variant 19-36100749-CAG-C is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr19-36100749-CAG-C is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 31042.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

The p.Gln918GlyfsX18 variant WDR62 has been reported in 2 siblings with autosomal recessive microcephaly/polymicrogyria in a compound heterozygous state with another frameshift variant (Murdock 2011 PMID: 21834044). It was also identified in 1/113224 of European chromosomes by gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org). This variant is predicted to cause a frameshift, which alters the protein’s amino acid sequence beginning at position 918 and leads to a premature termination codon 18 amino acids downstream. This alteration is then predicted to lead to a truncated or absent protein. Loss of function of the WDR62 gene is strongly associated with autosomal recessive primary microcephaly/polymicrogyria. In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for autosomal recessive primary microcephaly. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: PM2, PVS1, PP1, PM3. -
