Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 20 ACMG points: 20P and 0B. PVS1 PS3 PP5_Very_Strong

The NM_000553.6(WRN):​c.3139-1G>C variant causes a splice acceptor, intron change. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0000217 in 1,614,092 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. 3/3 splice prediction tools predicting alterations to normal splicing. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic (★★). ClinVar reports functional evidence for this variant: "SCV000473349: RT-PCR experiments in patient cells have shown the variant results in the skipping of exon 26 (Yu et al. 1996).; SCV000541460: Studies have shown that disruption of this splice site alters WRN gene expression (PMID:10543396). Studies have shown that disruption of this splice site results in skipping of exon 26 and introduces a premature termination codon (PMID:8602509; Invitae).".

Genes affected

WRN (HGNC:12791): (WRN RecQ like helicase) This gene encodes a member of the RecQ subfamily of DNA helicase proteins. The encoded nuclear protein is important in the maintenance of genome stability and plays a role in DNA repair, replication, transcription and telomere maintenance. This protein contains a N-terminal 3' to 5' exonuclease domain, an ATP-dependent helicase domain and RQC (RecQ helicase conserved region) domain in its central region, and a C-terminal HRDC (helicase RNase D C-terminal) domain and nuclear localization signal. Defects in this gene are the cause of Werner syndrome, an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by accelerated aging and an elevated risk for certain cancers. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2017]

ACMG classification

Our verdict: Pathogenic. The variant received 20 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Splicing +-2 bp (donor or acceptor) variant, LoF is a know mechanism of disease, Cryptic splice site detected, with MaxEntScore 4.5, offset of 5, new splice context is: ttttgcttttaatacggtAGaaa. Cryptic site results in frameshift change. If cryptic site found is not functional and variant results in exon loss, it results in frameshift change.
• PS3: PS3 evidence extracted from ClinVar submissions: SCV000473349: RT-PCR experiments in patient cells have shown the variant results in the skipping of exon 26 (Yu et al. 1996).; SCV000541460: Studies have shown that disruption of this splice site alters WRN gene expression (PMID: 10543396). Studies have shown that disruption of this splice site results in skipping of exon 26 and introduces a premature termination codon (PMID: 8602509; Invitae).
• PP5: Variant 8-31141680-G-C is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr8-31141680-G-C is described in ClinVar as Pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 5447.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.
