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.

ACMG classification

Verdict is Likely_benign. Variant got -3 ACMG points.

• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (BayesDel_noAF=-0.5).
• BP7: Synonymous conserved (PhyloP=0.249 with no splicing effect.

This sequence change affects codon 171 of the WWOX mRNA. It is a 'silent' change, meaning that it does not change the encoded amino acid sequence of the WWOX protein. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency) and has not been reported in the literature in individuals with a WWOX-related disease. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on mRNA splicing suggest that this variant may alter mRNA splicing, but this prediction has not been confirmed by published transcriptional studies. In summary, this is a novel silent change with uncertain impact on splicing. It has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
