Genes affected

WWOX (HGNC:12799): (WW domain containing oxidoreductase) This gene encodes a member of the short-chain dehydrogenases/reductases (SDR) protein family. This gene spans the FRA16D common chromosomal fragile site and appears to function as a tumor suppressor gene. Expression of the encoded protein is able to induce apoptosis, while defects in this gene are associated with multiple types of cancer. Disruption of this gene is also associated with autosomal recessive spinocerebellar ataxia 12. Disruption of a similar gene in mouse results in impaired steroidogenesis, additionally suggesting a metabolic function for the protein. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

ACMG classification

Verdict is Benign. Variant got -14 ACMG points.

• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (BayesDel_noAF=-0.82).
• BP6: Variant 16-78114959-C-A is Benign according to our data. Variant chr16-78114959-C-A is described in ClinVar as [Likely_benign]. Clinvar id is 388337.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.
• BS1: Variant frequency is greater than expected in population afr. gnomad4 allele frequency = 0.000532 (81/152286) while in subpopulation AFR AF= 0.00195 (81/41538). AF 95% confidence interval is 0.00161. There are 0 homozygotes in gnomad4. There are 40 alleles in male gnomad4 subpopulation. Median coverage is 33. This position pass quality control queck.
