Genes affected
WDR81 (HGNC:26600): (WD repeat domain 81) This gene encodes a multi-domain transmembrane protein which is predominantly expressed in the brain and is thought to play a role in endolysosomal trafficking. Mutations in this gene are associated with an autosomal recessive form of a syndrome exhibiting cerebellar ataxia, cognitive disability, and disequilibrium (CAMRQ2). Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2017]

The c.3997C>T (p.R1333*) alteration, located in exon 4 (coding exon 4) of the WDR81 gene, consists of a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 3997. This changes the amino acid from an arginine (R) to a stop codon at amino acid position 1333. This alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. Based on data from gnomAD, the T allele has an overall frequency of 0.001% (2/247938) total alleles studied. The highest observed frequency was 0.013% (2/15940) of African alleles. This variant has been identified in the homozygous state in individual(s) with features consistent with WDR81-related brain malformations (Komara, 2016; Trujillano, 2017). Based on the available evidence, this alteration is classified as pathogenic.
