Genes affected

WASF1 (HGNC:12732): (WASP family member 1) The protein encoded by this gene, a member of the Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome protein (WASP)-family, plays a critical role downstream of Rac, a Rho-family small GTPase, in regulating the actin cytoskeleton required for membrane ruffling. It has been shown to associate with an actin nucleation core Arp2/3 complex while enhancing actin polymerization in vitro. Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome is a disease of the immune system, likely due to defects in regulation of actin cytoskeleton. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding the same protein have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Likely_pathogenic. Variant got 8 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product does not undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. Variant is located in the 3'-most 50 bp of the penultimate exon, not predicted to undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. There are 8 pathogenic variants in the truncated region.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 6-110101644-G-C is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr6-110101644-G-C is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 1342385.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.

The de novo c.1466C>G (p.Ser489Ter) variant identified in the WASF1 gene is a single nucleotide variant leading to the premature termination of the protein at amino acid 489/560 (exon 9/10). This variant is absent from gnomAD(v3.1) suggesting it is not a common benign variant in the populations represented in that database. This variant is absent from ClinVar, and to our current knowledge has not been reported in the literature, although several nonsense and frameshift variants downstream of the one identified here have been reported in affected individuals [PMID:29961568]. Given its deleterious nature, absence in population databases, and presence de novo, the c.1466C>G (p.Ser489Ter) variant identified in the WASF1 gene is reported as Likely Pathogenic. -
