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]

Pathogenic:3

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp	Dec 06, 2023	This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg987*) 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 (rs747319628, gnomAD 0.008%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with Werner syndrome (PMID: 16673358, 22188495). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 362809). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Illumina Laboratory Services, Illumina	Apr 27, 2017	The WRN c.2959C>T (p.Arg987Ter) variant is a stop-gained variant and has been reported in two individuals with Werner syndrome, including one homozygote with an atypical presentation and one compound heterozygote. The variant was also found in a heterozygous state in two unaffected family members of affected individuals (Huang et al. 2006; Takada-Watanabe et al. 2012). The variant was absent from one healthy control individual, but is reported at a frequency of 0.00002 in the total population of the Exome Aggregation Consortium. Functional studies showed that leukocytes from the homozygous individual expressed the WRN protein at approximately 40% of the level of a healthy control. COS7 cells transfected with the p.Arg987Ter variant protein showed protein localization to the cytoplasm, while the wild type protein localized exclusively to the nucleus (Takada-Watanabe et al. 2012). Based on the evidence, the p.Arg987Ter variant is classified as likely pathogenic for Werner syndrome. This variant was observed by ICSL as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. -
