Genes affected
WAS (HGNC:12731): (WASP actin nucleation promoting factor) The Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome (WAS) family of proteins share similar domain structure, and are involved in transduction of signals from receptors on the cell surface to the actin cytoskeleton. The presence of a number of different motifs suggests that they are regulated by a number of different stimuli, and interact with multiple proteins. Recent studies have demonstrated that these proteins, directly or indirectly, associate with the small GTPase, Cdc42, known to regulate formation of actin filaments, and the cytoskeletal organizing complex, Arp2/3. Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome is a rare, inherited, X-linked, recessive disease characterized by immune dysregulation and microthrombocytopenia, and is caused by mutations in the WAS gene. The WAS gene product is a cytoplasmic protein, expressed exclusively in hematopoietic cells, which show signalling and cytoskeletal abnormalities in WAS patients. A transcript variant arising as a result of alternative promoter usage, and containing a different 5' UTR sequence, has been described, however, its full-length nature is not known.

This sequence change replaces alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, with valine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 56 of the WAS protein (p.Ala56Val). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome or X-linked thrombocytopenia (PMID: 12969986, 15284122, 25091438). This variant is also known as 201C>T. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 11116). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) has been performed at Invitae for this missense variant, however the output from this modeling did not meet the statistical confidence thresholds required to predict the impact of this variant on WAS protein function. Experimental studies are conflicting or provide insufficient evidence to determine the effect of this variant on WAS function (PMID: 19817875). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
