Genes affected

BBS5 (HGNC:970): (Bardet-Biedl syndrome 5) This gene encodes a protein that has been directly linked to Bardet-Biedl syndrome. The primary features of this syndrome include retinal dystrophy, obesity, polydactyly, renal abnormalities and learning disabilities. Experimentation in non-human eukaryotes suggests that this gene is expressed in ciliated cells and that it is required for the formation of cilia. Alternate transcriptional splice variants have been observed but have not been fully characterized. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Likely_pathogenic. Variant got 6 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Splicing +-2 bp (donor or acceptor) variant, product NOT destroyed by NMD, known LOF gene, truncates exone, which is 0.06335282 fraction of the gene. Cryptic splice site detected, with MaxEntScore 6.1, offset of 1, new splice context is: tttgtctgtgtgcttttaAGtag. Cryptic site results in frameshift change. If cryptic site found is not functional and variant results in exon loss, it results in inframe change.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 2-169487068-G-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr2-169487068-G-A is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 854552.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars. Variant chr2-169487068-G-A is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].

For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. This sequence change affects an acceptor splice site in intron 2 of the BBS5 gene. It is expected to disrupt RNA splicing. Variants that disrupt the donor or acceptor splice site typically lead to a loss of protein function (PMID: 16199547), and loss-of-function variants in BBS5 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 15137946, 16877420, 26325687, 27708425, 28041643, 29806606). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of Bardet-Biedl syndrome (Invitae). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 854552). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. -
