Genes affected

WRN (HGNC:12791): (WRN RecQ like helicase) This gene encodes a member of the RecQ subfamily of DNA helicase proteins. The encoded nuclear protein is important in the maintenance of genome stability and plays a role in DNA repair, replication, transcription and telomere maintenance. This protein contains a N-terminal 3' to 5' exonuclease domain, an ATP-dependent helicase domain and RQC (RecQ helicase conserved region) domain in its central region, and a C-terminal HRDC (helicase RNase D C-terminal) domain and nuclear localization signal. Defects in this gene are the cause of Werner syndrome, an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by accelerated aging and an elevated risk for certain cancers. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2017]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product undergoes nonsense mediated mRNA decay. LoF is a known mechanism of disease.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 8-31111747-C-T is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr8-31111747-C-T is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 528094.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars. Variant chr8-31111747-C-T is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg741*) in the WRN gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in WRN are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 16673358). This variant is present in population databases (rs763089663, gnomAD 0.002%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with Werner syndrome (PMID: 20443122). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 528094). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
