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:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This variant was observed as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (where applicable). Publications were found based on this search. However, the evidence from the literature, in combination with allele frequency data from public databases where available, was not sufficient to rule this variant in or out of causing disease. Therefore, this variant is classified as a variant of unknown significance. -

Reported multiple times in the published literature, however association with disease is not well established (Redin et al., 2012; Griffith et al., 2018; Nozari et al., 2019); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant does not alter protein structure/function; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 30507091, 28945142, 22773737) -

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces glutamine, which is neutral and polar, with arginine, which is basic and polar, at codon 620 of the BBS12 protein (p.Gln620Arg). This variant is present in population databases (rs139278612, gnomAD 0.09%), and has an allele count higher than expected for a pathogenic variant. This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with Bardet-Biedl syndrome (PMID: 22773737). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 434490). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt BBS12 protein function. 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. -
