Genes affected
TMEM237 (HGNC:14432): (transmembrane protein 237) The protein encoded by this gene is a tetraspanin protein that is thought to be involved in WNT signaling. Defects in this gene are a cause of Joubert syndrome-14. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2012]

This sequence change affects a donor splice site in intron 8 of the TMEM237 gene. It is expected to disrupt RNA splicing. Variants that disrupt the donor or acceptor splice site typically lead to a loss of protein function (PMID: 16199547), and loss-of-function variants in TMEM237 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 22152675). This variant is present in population databases (no rsID available, gnomAD 0.01%). Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individual(s) with Joubert syndrome (Invitae). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 654117). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
