Variant summary
Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 16 ACMG points: 16P and 0B. PM1PM5PP3_StrongPP5_Very_Strong
The NM_031885.5(BBS2):c.943C>T(p.Arg315Trp) variant causes a missense, splice region change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0000155 in 1,613,986 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. 1/1 splice prediction tools predict no significant impact on normal splicing. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Likely pathogenic (★★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. R315Q) has been classified as Likely pathogenic.

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with tryptophan, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 315 of the BBS2 protein (p.Arg315Trp). This variant is present in population databases (rs121908178, gnomAD 0.008%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with Bardet-Biedl syndrome (PMID: 11567139, 27894351). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 4573). 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. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects BBS2 function (PMID: 20498079). This variant disrupts the p.Arg315 amino acid residue in BBS2. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 20498079, 33777945, 33921607). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
