Genes affected

WDR45 (HGNC:28912): (WD repeat domain 45) This gene encodes a member of the WD repeat protein family. WD repeats are minimally conserved regions of approximately 40 amino acids typically bracketed by gly-his and trp-asp (GH-WD), which may facilitate formation of heterotrimeric or multiprotein complexes. Members of this family are involved in a variety of cellular processes, including cell cycle progression, signal transduction, apoptosis, and gene regulation. This gene has a pseudogene at chromosome 4q31.3. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been found for this gene, but the biological validity and full-length nature of some variants have not been determined.

This sequence change results in a premature translational stop signal in the WDR45 gene (p.Asn345Glnfs*10). While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the last 17 amino acid(s) of the WDR45 protein. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This variant has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of WDR45-related conditions (Invitae). In at least one individual the variant was observed to be de novo. This variant disrupts the C-terminus of the WDR45 protein. Other variant(s) that disrupt this region (p.Tyr352*) have been observed in individuals with WDR45-related conditions (PMID: 30713893). This suggests that this may be a clinically significant region of the protein. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
