Genes affected
VPS13B (HGNC:2183): (vacuolar protein sorting 13 homolog B) This gene encodes a potential transmembrane protein that may function in vesicle-mediated transport and sorting of proteins within the cell. This protein may play a role in the development and the function of the eye, hematological system, and central nervous system. Mutations in this gene have been associated with Cohen syndrome. Multiple splice variants encoding distinct isoforms have been identified for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp
Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, with threonine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 2552 of the VPS13B protein (p.Ala2552Thr). This variant is present in population databases (rs369062407, gnomAD 0.002%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with VPS13B-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 585719). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt VPS13B protein function with a negative predictive value of 80%. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance.

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The c.7654G>A (p.A2552T) alteration is located in exon 42 (coding exon 41) of the VPS13B gene. This alteration results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 7654, causing the alanine (A) at amino acid position 2552 to be replaced by a threonine (T). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear.
