Genes affected

WNT9B (HGNC:12779): (Wnt family member 9B) The WNT gene family consists of structurally related genes that encode secreted signaling proteins. These proteins have been implicated in oncogenesis and in several developmental processes, including regulation of cell fate and patterning during embryogenesis. This gene is a member of the WNT gene family. Study of its expression in the teratocarcinoma cell line NT2 suggests that it may be implicated in the early process of neuronal differentiation of NT2 cells induced by retinoic acid. This gene is clustered with WNT3, another family member, in the chromosome 17q21 region. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2016]

LRRC37A2 (HGNC:32404): (leucine rich repeat containing 37 member A2) Predicted to be integral component of membrane. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Uncertain_significance. Variant got 4 ACMG points.

• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.864

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change replaces leucine, which is neutral and non-polar, with arginine, which is basic and polar, at codon 60 of the WNT9B protein (p.Leu60Arg). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with WNT9B-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 2101874). An algorithm developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (PolyPhen-2) suggests that this variant is likely to be disruptive. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
