Hypotonia, infantile, with psychomotor retardation and characteristic facies 3    Pathogenic:2 
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 hypotonia, infantile, with psychomotor delay and characteristic facies 3 (MIM#616900). (I) 0106 - This gene is associated with autosomal recessive disease. (I) 0201 - Variant is predicted to cause nonsense-mediated decay (NMD) and loss of protein (premature termination codon is located at least 54 nucleotides upstream of the final exon-exon junction). (SP) 0251 - This variant is heterozygous. (I) 0304 - Variant is present in gnomAD (v2) <0.01 for a recessive condition (17 heterozygotes, 0 homozygotes). (SP) 0701 - Other NMD-predicted variants comparable to the one identified in this case have very strong previous evidence for pathogenicity. These variants have been reported many times as pathogenic, and observed in individuals with intellectual disability and hypotonia syndrome (DECIPHER, PMID: 27040691). (SP) 0803 - This variant has limited previous evidence of pathogenicity in an unrelated individual. This variant has been reported as likely pathogenic, and observed in a single individual with global developmental delay (ClinVar, LOVD). (SP) 0905 - No published segregation evidence has been identified for this variant. (I) 1007 - No published functional evidence has been identified for this variant. (I) 1206 - This variant has been shown to be paternally inherited (by trio analysis). (I) Legend: (SP) - Supporting pathogenic, (I) - Information, (SB) - Supporting benign -
The p.Asn457LysfsTer10 variant in TBCK has not been previously reported in the literature in individuals with TBCK-related intellectual disability syndrome, and has been identified in 0.009% (4/44506) of East Asian chromosomes by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org; dbSNP ID: rs746860249). Although this variant has been seen in the general population in a heterozygous state, its frequency is low enough to be consistent with a recessive carrier frequency. It is of note that this variant occurs in a homopolymer repeat, which could indicate that it is an artifact from sequencing. However, disease-causing variants have been reported in homopolymer regions, so this is not enough to rule out a pathogenic role. This variant has also been reported in ClinVar (Variation ID: 986992) and has been interpreted as pathogenic/likely pathogenic by Victorian Clinical Genetics Services (Murdoch Childrens Research Institute), GeneDx, and Institute of Medical Genetics and Applied Genomics (University Hospital Tübingen). This variant is predicted to cause a frameshift, which alters the protein’s amino acid sequence beginning at position 457 and leads to a premature termination codon 10 amino acids downstream. This alteration is then predicted to lead to a truncated or absent protein. Loss of function of the TBCK gene is an established disease mechanism in autosomal recessive TBCK-related intellectual disability syndrome. In summary, although additional studies are required to fully establish its clinical significance, this variant is likely pathogenic for autosomal recessive TBCK-related intellectual disability syndrome.
