Genes affected

TMEM237 (HGNC:14432): (transmembrane protein 237) The protein encoded by this gene is a tetraspanin protein that is thought to be involved in WNT signaling. Defects in this gene are a cause of Joubert syndrome-14. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2012]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Likely_pathogenic. Variant got 8 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Splicing variant, NOT destroyed by nmd, known LOF gene, truncates exone, which is 0.1002445 fraction of the gene. Cryptic splice site detected, with MaxEntScore 6.8, offset of -30, new splice context is: ccagggttctctctcgctAGttg. Cryptic site results in inframe 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
• PP3: Splicing scoreres supports a deletorius effect: Scorers claiming Pathogenic: max_spliceai. No scorers claiming Uncertain. No scorers claiming Benign.
