Genes affected

VCAN (HGNC:2464): (versican) This gene is a member of the aggrecan/versican proteoglycan family. The protein encoded is a large chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan and is a major component of the extracellular matrix. This protein is involved in cell adhesion, proliferation, proliferation, migration and angiogenesis and plays a central role in tissue morphogenesis and maintenance. Mutations in this gene are the cause of Wagner syndrome type 1. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2009]

VCAN-AS1 (HGNC:40163): (VCAN antisense RNA 1)

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 12 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Splicing +-2 bp (donor or acceptor) variant, product NOT destroyed by NMD, known LOF gene, truncates exone, which is 0.5162398 fraction of the gene. Cryptic splice site detected, with MaxEntScore 6.2, offset of -26, new splice context is: tgccaaattttctatttaAGtat. Cryptic site results in frameshift change. If cryptic site found is not functional and variant results in exon loss, it results in inframe change.
• 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 5-83537005-A-T is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr5-83537005-A-T is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 41877.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.

This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change affects an acceptor splice site in intron 7 of the VCAN gene. RNA analysis indicates that disruption of this splice site induces altered splicing and likely results in the loss of 13 amino acid residue(s), but is expected to preserve the integrity of the reading-frame. Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individuals with Wagner syndrome (PMID: 16043844, 21738396). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 41877). Studies have shown that disruption of this splice site results in the activation of a cryptic splice site in exon 8 (PMID: 16043844, 21738396). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
