Genes affected

VPS13B (HGNC:2183): (vacuolar protein sorting 13 homolog B) This gene encodes a potential transmembrane protein that may function in vesicle-mediated transport and sorting of proteins within the cell. This protein may play a role in the development and the function of the eye, hematological system, and central nervous system. Mutations in this gene have been associated with Cohen syndrome. Multiple splice variants encoding distinct isoforms have been identified for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Glu2268*) in the VPS13B gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in VPS13B are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 15141358, 16648375, 20461111). This variant is present in population databases (rs146960401, gnomAD 0.03%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with VPS13B-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 279780). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Significance: Likely pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: curation

The heterozygous p.Glu2268Ter variant in VPS13B was identified by our study, in the compound heterozygous state with a likely pathogenic variant (ClinVar Variation ID: 280580), in one individual with Cohen syndrome. Trio exome analysis revealed that this variant was in trans with a likely pathogenic variant (ClinVar Variation ID: 280580). The p.Glu2268Ter variant in VPS13B has been previously reported in one individual with Cohen syndrome (PMID: 25326635) but has been identified in 0.03% (3/10360) of Ashkenazi Jewish chromosomes by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org; dbSNP ID: rs146960401). Although this variant has been seen in the general population in a heterozygous state, its frequency is not high enough to rule out a pathogenic role. This variant has also been reported in ClinVar (Variation ID: 279780) and has been interpreted as pathogenic or likely pathogenic by multiple submitters. This nonsense variant leads to a premature termination codon at position 2268, which is predicted to lead to a truncated or absent protein. Loss of function of the VPS13B gene is an established disease mechanism in autosomal recessive Cohen syndrome. In summary, although additional studies are required to fully establish its clinical significance, this variant is likely pathogenic for autosomal recessive Cohen syndrome. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: PVS1, PM3 (Richards 2015). -

Based on the classification scheme VCGS_Germline_v1.3.4, this variant is classified as Pathogenic. Following criteria are met: 0102 - Loss of function is a known mechanism of disease in this gene and is associated with Cohen syndrome (MIM#216550). (I) 0106 - This gene is associated with autosomal recessive disease. (I) 0201 - Variant is predicted to cause nonsense-mediated decay (NMD) and loss of protein (premature termination codon is located at least 54 nucleotides upstream of the final exon-exon junction). (SP) 0251 - This variant is heterozygous. (I) 0304 - Variant is present in gnomAD (v2) <0.01 for a recessive condition (16 heterozygotes, 0 homozygotes). (SP) 0701 - Other NMD predicted variants comparable to the one identified in this case have very strong previous evidence for pathogenicity (DECIPHER). (SP) 0801 - This variant has strong previous evidence of pathogenicity in unrelated individuals. This variant has been classified as likely pathogenic or pathogenic by multiple clinical laboratories in ClinVar. (SP) 0905 - No published segregation evidence has been identified for this variant. (I) 1007 - No published functional evidence has been identified for this variant. (I) 1205 - This variant has been shown to be maternally inherited (by trio analysis).

Review Status: no assertion criteria provided

Collection Method: clinical testing

The VPS13B c.6727G>T variant is predicted to result in premature protein termination (p.Glu2243*). This variant is also known as c.6802G>T, (p.Glu2268*) in an alternate transcript (NM_017890.4). This variant has been documented in a prospective cohort of individuals undergoing whole-genome sequencing, comprehensive metabolomics, and advanced imaging (Supplementary Dataset 1 in Hou. 2020. PubMed ID: 31980526). This variant is reported in 0.029% of alleles in individuals of Ashkenazi Jewish descent in gnomAD. Nonsense variants in VPS13B are expected to be pathogenic. Based on this evidence, we interpret this variant as pathogenic. -
