Genes affected
CCN6 (HGNC:12771): (cellular communication network factor 6) This gene encodes a member of the WNT1 inducible signaling pathway (WISP) protein subfamily, which belongs to the connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) family. WNT1 is a member of a family of cysteine-rich, glycosylated signaling proteins that mediate diverse developmental processes. The CTGF family members are characterized by four conserved cysteine-rich domains: insulin-like growth factor-binding domain, von Willebrand factor type C module, thrombospondin domain and C-terminal cystine knot-like domain. This gene is overexpressed in colon tumors. It may be downstream in the WNT1 signaling pathway that is relevant to malignant transformation. Mutations of this gene are associated with progressive pseudorheumatoid dysplasia, an autosomal recessive skeletal disorder, indicating that the gene is essential for normal postnatal skeletal growth and cartilage homeostasis. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testing3billionMay 22, 2022Stop-gained (nonsense): predicted to result in a loss or disruption of normal protein function through nonsense-mediated decay (NMD) or protein truncation. Multiple pathogenic variants are reported downstream of the variant. It is observed at an extremely low frequency in the gnomAD v2.1.1 dataset (total allele frequency: 0.004%). The variant has been reported at least twice as pathogenic without evidence for the classification (ClinVar ID: VCV000006381). Therefore, this variant is classified as pathogenic according to the recommendation of ACMG/AMP guideline. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpAug 04, 2022Variant summary: CCN6 (also known as WISP3) c.156C>A (p.Cys52X) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. Truncations downstream of this position have been classified as pathogenic by our laboratory. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 3.9e-05 in 282674 control chromosomes (gnomAD). This frequency is not significantly higher than expected for a pathogenic variant in CCN6 causing Progressive Pseudorheumatoid Dysplasia (3.9e-05 vs 0.0011), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. c.156C>A has been reported in the literature in multiple compound heterozygous and homozygous individuals affected with Progressive Pseudorheumatoid Dysplasia (Sailani_2018, Uttarilli_2018). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Seven ClinVar submitters (evaluation after 2014) cite the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeDec 03, 2023This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Cys52*) in the WISP3 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in WISP3 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 22791401). This variant is present in population databases (rs121908901, gnomAD 0.01%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with progressive pseudorheumatoid dysplasia (PMID: 10471507, 16152649, 27291587, 29092958). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 6381). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
