Genes affected

NIPBL (HGNC:28862): (NIPBL cohesin loading factor) This gene encodes the homolog of the Drosophila melanogaster Nipped-B gene product and fungal Scc2-type sister chromatid cohesion proteins. The Drosophila protein facilitates enhancer-promoter communication of remote enhancers and plays a role in developmental regulation. It is also homologous to a family of chromosomal adherins with broad roles in sister chromatid cohesion, chromosome condensation, and DNA repair. The human protein has a bipartite nuclear targeting sequence and a putative HEAT repeat. Condensins, cohesins and other complexes with chromosome-related functions also contain HEAT repeats. Mutations in this gene result in Cornelia de Lange syndrome, a disorder characterized by dysmorphic facial features, growth delay, limb reduction defects, and cognitive disability. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 11 ACMG points.

• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP3: Splicing scoreres supports a deletorius effect: Scorers claiming Pathogenic: dbscSNV1_ADA, dbscSNV1_RF, max_spliceai. No scorers claiming Uncertain. No scorers claiming Benign.
• PP5: Variant 5-36955467-A-G is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr5-36955467-A-G is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 159196.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars. Variant chr5-36955467-A-G is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].

Cornelia de Lange syndrome 1 Pathogenic:3

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Invitae	Jan 08, 2024	This sequence change falls in intron 2 of the NIPBL gene. It does not directly change the encoded amino acid sequence of the NIPBL protein. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This variant has been observed in individual(s) with Cornelia de Lange syndrome (PMID: 15318302, 17221863, 17661813). In at least one individual the variant was observed to be de novo. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 159196). 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. -
