In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 437291). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with WDR62-related conditions. This variant is present in population databases (rs199736219, gnomAD 0.04%). This sequence change affects a donor splice site in intron 29 of the WDR62 gene. It is expected to disrupt RNA splicing. Variants that disrupt the donor or acceptor splice site typically lead to a loss of protein function (PMID: 16199547), and loss-of-function variants in WDR62 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 20729831). -

The invariant splice donor c.3514+1G>A variant in WDR62 gene has not been reported previously as a pathogenic variant nor a benign variant, to our knowledge. The c.3514+1G>A variant has been reported with allele frequency of 0.01% in gnomAD Exomes and is novel not in any individuals in 1000 Genomes. This variant has been reported to the ClinVar database as Likely Pathogenic / Pathogenic. Loss of function variants in WDR62 have been previously reported to be pathogenic Bilgüvar K, et al., 2010. However, additional functional studies will be required to prove the pathogenicity of this variant. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. -
