Genes affected

BBS12 (HGNC:26648): (Bardet-Biedl syndrome 12) The protein encoded by this gene is part of a complex that is involved in membrane trafficking. The encoded protein is a molecular chaperone that aids in protein folding upon ATP hydrolysis. This protein also plays a role in adipocyte differentiation. Defects in this gene are a cause of Bardet-Biedl syndrome type 12. Two transcript variants encoding the same protein have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, May 2010]

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: no assertion criteria provided

Collection Method: clinical testing

The BBS12 c.1A>C variant is predicted to disrupt the translation initiation site (Start loss). However, an in-frame methionine (potential alternative start codon) is present at the third codon. This variant was documented in a family with recessive form of retinitis pigmentosa (Table S5 - Watson et al. 2014. PubMed ID: 25133751). This variant is reported in 0.049% of alleles in individuals of South Asian descent in gnomAD. Although we suspect that this variant may be pathogenic, at this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The c.1A>C (p.M1?) alteration is located in coding exon 1 of the BBS12 gene and consists of a A to C substitution at nucleotide position 1. This changes the amino acid from a methionine to a (?) at the initiation codon. Sequence variations that modify the initiation codon (ATG) are expected to cause a shift in the mRNA reading frame and are typically deleterious in nature (Richards, 2015). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: no assertion criteria provided

Collection Method: clinical testing

The BBS12 p.M1? variant was not identified in the literature but was identified in dbSNP (ID: rs750366365) and ClinVar (classified as uncertain significance by Invitae and as likely pathogenic by Counsyl). The variant was identified in control databases in 31 of 282602 chromosomes at a frequency of 0.0001097 (Genome Aggregation Database March 6, 2019, v2.1.1). The p.M1? variant results in the loss of the initiation codon however the next in-frame initiation codon occurs two codons downstream, therefore it is unclear how this may impact the protein. The variant occurs outside of the splicing consensus sequence and in silico or computational prediction software programs (Splice AI exome) do not predict a difference in splicing. In summary, based on the above information the clinical significance of this variant cannot be determined with certainty at this time. This variant is classified as a variant of uncertain significance. -

Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change affects the initiator methionine of the BBS12 mRNA. The next in-frame methionine is located at codon 3. This variant is present in population databases (rs750366365, gnomAD 0.05%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with BBS12-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 551815). Experimental studies and prediction algorithms are not available or were not evaluated, and the functional significance of this variant is currently unknown. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
