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.

ENSG00000288053 (HGNC:):

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 12 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Splicing +-2 bp (donor or acceptor) variant, LoF is a know mechanism of disease, Cryptic splice site detected, with MaxEntScore 5.2, offset of 22, new splice context is: ctctgtgacctctgccccAGcct. Cryptic site results in frameshift change. If cryptic site found is not functional and variant results in exon loss, it results in frameshift change.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant X-49075947-T-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chrX-49075947-T-A is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 2444042.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.

Collection Method: clinical testing

The variant is not observed in the gnomAD v2.1.1 dataset. This variant was predicted to alter splicing and result in a loss or disruption of normal protein function. Multiple pathogenic loss-of-function variants are reported downstream of the variant. Therefore, this variant is classified as Likely pathogenic according to the recommendation of ACMG/AMP guideline. -
