Genes affected
RAB23 (HGNC:14263): (RAB23, member RAS oncogene family) This gene encodes a small GTPase of the Ras superfamily. Rab proteins are involved in the regulation of diverse cellular functions associated with intracellular membrane trafficking, including autophagy and immune response to bacterial infection. The encoded protein may play a role in central nervous system development by antagonizing sonic hedgehog signaling. Disruption of this gene has been implicated in Carpenter syndrome as well as cancer. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2013]

Based on the classification scheme VCGS_Germline_v1.3.4, this variant is classified as Pathogenic. Following criteria are met: 0102 - Loss of function is a known mechanism of disease in this gene and is associated with Carpenter syndrome (MIM#201000). (I) 0115 - Variants in this gene are known to have variable expressivity. Main features are craniosynostosis, obesity, polydactyly, and soft-tissue syndactylyeatures; additional features are variable (PMID: 17503333). (I) 0106 - This gene is associated with autosomal recessive disease. (I) 0201 - Variant is predicted to cause nonsense-mediated decay (NMD) and loss of protein (premature termination codon is located at least 54 nucleotides upstream of the final exon-exon junction). (SP) 0252 - This variant is homozygous. (I) 0304 - Variant is present in gnomAD <0.01 for a recessive condition (v2 & v3: 125 heterozygotes, 0 homozygotes). (SP) 0702 - Other variants predicted to cause NMD comparable to the one identified in this case have strong previous evidence for pathogenicity (DECIPHER). (SP) 0801 - This variant has strong previous evidence of pathogenicity in unrelated individuals. It has been regarded as pathogenic by multiple clinical laboratories in ClinVar and detected in many individuals with Carpenter syndrome, both homozygous and compound heterozygous (PMID: 17503333). (SP) 1209 - This variant has been shown to be both maternally and paternally inherited (biallelic) (by trio analysis). (I) Legend: (SP) - Supporting pathogenic, (I) - Information, (SB) - Supporting benign -

Significance:Pathogenic
Review Status:no assertion criteria provided
Collection Method:clinical testing

The RAB23 c.434T>A variant is predicted to result in premature protein termination (p.Leu145*). This variant has been reported in the homozygous or compound heterozygous state in multiple individuals with Carpenter syndrome (Jenkins et al. 2007. PubMed ID: 17503333; Jenkins et al. 2011. PubMed ID: 21412941; Salem et al. 2013. PubMed ID: 23599695). This variant is reported in 0.057% of alleles in individuals of European (Non-Finnish) descent in gnomAD. Nonsense variants in RAB23 are expected to be pathogenic. This variant is interpreted as pathogenic. -

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Leu145*) in the RAB23 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in RAB23 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 17503333, 21412941). This variant is present in population databases (rs121908171, gnomAD 0.06%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individuals with Carpenter syndrome (PMID: 17503333, 21412941, 24458945). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 4591). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
