Genes affected

CEP290 (HGNC:29021): (centrosomal protein 290) This gene encodes a protein with 13 putative coiled-coil domains, a region with homology to SMC chromosome segregation ATPases, six KID motifs, three tropomyosin homology domains and an ATP/GTP binding site motif A. The protein is localized to the centrosome and cilia and has sites for N-glycosylation, tyrosine sulfation, phosphorylation, N-myristoylation, and amidation. Mutations in this gene have been associated with Joubert syndrome and nephronophthisis and the presence of antibodies against this protein is associated with several forms of cancer.

ACMG classification

Our verdict: Pathogenic. The variant received 18 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Splicing +-2 bp (donor or acceptor) variant, LoF is a know mechanism of disease, Cryptic splice site detected, with MaxEntScore 4.4, offset of 2, new splice context is: gggGTagga. Cryptic site results in frameshift change. If cryptic site found is not functional and variant results in exon loss, it results in frameshift change.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 12-88058846-A-ACC is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr12-88058846-A-ACC is described in ClinVar as Likely_pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 402224.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 402224). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with CEP290-related conditions. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change affects a splice site in intron 49 of the CEP290 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 CEP290 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 16909394, 17345604, 20690115). -

The c.6818+1_6818+2insGG splice variant in the CEP290 gene has not been previously reported in published literature and is absent from the population databases (ESP; 1000 Genomes; ExAC). Splice-site, nonsense, and frameshift variants have been described in the CEP290 gene in several affected individuals (including nonsense and frameshift variants downstream of this splice variant) and thus, loss of function is a known mechanism of disease. In silico splicing algorithms predict this variant will cause altered splicing (Human Splice Finder = Broken WT Donor Site, New Donor Site). Therefore, this collective evidence supports the classification of the c.6818+1_6818+2insGG as a Likely Pathogenic variant for Joubert Syndrome and Related Disorders. Because this gene is expressed in blood cells, RNA-splicing studies can be performed to validate this classification (see recommendation). -
