Genes affected

ARL13B (HGNC:25419): (ADP ribosylation factor like GTPase 13B) This gene encodes a member of the ADP-ribosylation factor-like family. The encoded protein is a small GTPase that contains both N-terminal and C-terminal guanine nucleotide-binding motifs. This protein is localized in the cilia and plays a role in cilia formation and in maintenance of cilia. Mutations in this gene are the cause of Joubert syndrome 8. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2010]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 14 ACMG points.

• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.956
• PP5: Variant 3-94036663-C-T is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr3-94036663-C-T is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 1993.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars. Variant chr3-94036663-C-T is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].

Variant summary: ARL13B c.598C>T (p.Arg200Cys) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the C-terminal coiled-coiled domain (Higginbotham_2012) of the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant was absent in 251344 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.598C>T has been reported in the literature in at least one compound heterozygous individual affected with Joubert Syndrome (e.g., Cantagrel_2008, Bachmann-Gagescu_2015). These data suggest the variant may be associated with disease. Several publications report experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function, finding that the variant is unable to rescue a curved tail and absence of cystic kidney phenotype in a zebrafish model (rescue is reduced 76-85% relative to wild-type; e.g., Cantagrel_2008). Moreover, other studies found the variant displayed moderately severe defects in interneuron migration (e.g., Higginbotham_2012) and in mediating INPP5E ciliary targeting (e.g., Humbert_2012, Fujisawa_2021). The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 26092869, 18674751, 34447983, 23153492, 23150559, 27153923). One submitter has reported clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 and has classified the variant as pathogenic/likely pathogenic. Additionally, a different missense variant affecting the same codon, c.599G>A (p.Arg200His), has been reported in several individuals affected with Joubert syndrome (PMIDs: 27894351, 27457812, 34645488) and is classified as pathogenic/likely pathogenic in ClinVar. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely pathogenic. -
