Genes affected

VPS13B (HGNC:2183): (vacuolar protein sorting 13 homolog B) This gene encodes a potential transmembrane protein that may function in vesicle-mediated transport and sorting of proteins within the cell. This protein may play a role in the development and the function of the eye, hematological system, and central nervous system. Mutations in this gene have been associated with Cohen syndrome. Multiple splice variants encoding distinct isoforms have been identified for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

VPS13B-DT (HGNC:54375): (VPS13B divergent transcript)

Variant summary: VPS13B c.3G>A (p.Met1Ile) alters the initiation codon and is predicted to result either in absence of the protein or truncation of the encoded protein due to translation initiation at a downstream codon. An alternative downstream in-frame start codon (p.Met11) is located in exon 1 of the encoded protein. Three of four in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant was absent in 251492 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.3G>A has been reported in the literature in a family affected with Intellectual disability and microcephaly without classical Cohen syndrome (example: Karaca_2015). These data indicate that the variant may be associated with disease. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publication has been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 26539891). One submitter has cited clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar and has classified the variant as likely pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as VUS-possibly pathogenic. -

This sequence change affects the initiator methionine of the VPS13B mRNA. The next in-frame methionine is located at codon 11. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). Disruption of the initiator codon has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of VPS13B-related conditions (PMID: 26539891). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 402220). Experimental studies and prediction algorithms are not available or were not evaluated, and the functional significance of this variant is currently unknown. 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. -
