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]

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg1471*) in the VPS13B gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in VPS13B are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 15141358, 16648375, 20461111). This variant is present in population databases (rs386834086, gnomAD 0.006%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with Cohen syndrome (PMID: 19006247). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 56664). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Variant summary: VPS13B c.4411C>T (p.Arg1471X) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. Truncations downstream of this position have been classified as pathogenic by our laboratory. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 2.4e-05 in 251262 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.4411C>T has been reported in the literature in at-least one individual affected with Cohen Syndrome (Seifert_2009). To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Two clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 and classified the variant as pathogenic/likely pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely pathogenic. -

The homozygous p.Arg1471Ter variant in VPS13B was identified by our study in one individual with Cohen syndrome. The p.Arg1471Ter variant in VPS13B has been previously reported in one individual with Cohen syndrome (PMID: 19006247) but has been identified in 0.005% (7/128976) of European (non-Finnish) chromosomes by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org; dbSNP ID: rs386834086). Although this variant has been seen in the general population in a heterozygous state, its frequency is low enough to be consistent with a recessive carrier frequency. This variant has also been reported in ClinVar (Variation ID: 56664) and has been interpreted as pathogenic or likely pathogenic by multiple submitters. This nonsense variant leads to a premature termination codon at position 1471, which is predicted to lead to a truncated or absent protein. Loss of function of the VPS13B gene is an established disease mechanism in autosomal recessive Cohen syndrome. In summary, although additional studies are required to fully establish its clinical significance, this variant is likely pathogenic for autosomal recessive Cohen syndrome. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: PVS1, PM2_Supporting (Richards 2015). -
