Genes affected
WWOX (HGNC:12799): (WW domain containing oxidoreductase) This gene encodes a member of the short-chain dehydrogenases/reductases (SDR) protein family. This gene spans the FRA16D common chromosomal fragile site and appears to function as a tumor suppressor gene. Expression of the encoded protein is able to induce apoptosis, while defects in this gene are associated with multiple types of cancer. Disruption of this gene is also associated with autosomal recessive spinocerebellar ataxia 12. Disruption of a similar gene in mouse results in impaired steroidogenesis, additionally suggesting a metabolic function for the protein. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

Autosomal recessive spinocerebellar ataxia 12;C3463992:Developmental and epileptic encephalopathy, 1 Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeOct 24, 2021Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individuals with WWOX- related conditions (PMID: 27848944, 30746283). This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This sequence change affects a donor splice site in intron 4 of the WWOX 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 WWOX are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 24456803, 25411445). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
Developmental and epileptic encephalopathy, 28 Pathogenic:1
Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingIllumina Laboratory Services, IlluminaNov 03, 2021The WWOX c.409+1G>C variant occurs in a canonical splice site (donor) and is therefore predicted to disrupt the normal gene product. The c.409+1G>C variant has not been reported before, but c.409+1G>T has been reported in a homozygous state in a proband affected with seizures, global developmental delay, microcephaly, subtle dysmorphic features, kyphosis with short clavicles, scoliosis, occasional horizontal nystagmus, spasticity in both upper and lower limbs with decreased deep tendon reflexes, axial hypotonia, brain atrophy and increased white matter signal in cerebellar area (Ehaideb et al. 2018). The c.409+1G>C variant is present at a frequency of 0.000009 in the European (Non-Finnish) population of the Genome Aggregation Database version 2.1.1, though this is based on one allele in a region of good sequence coverage so the variant is presumed to be rare. Based on the available evidence, the c.409+1G>C variant is classified as likely pathogenic for WWOX-related developmental and epileptic encephalopathy. -
