Variant summary

Our verdict is Uncertain significance. The variant received 2 ACMG points: 2P and 0B. PM4

The NM_000553.6(WRN):​c.106_117delCGGAAGAGTGTT​(p.Arg36_Val39del) variant causes a conservative inframe deletion change. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.000000685 in 1,460,492 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. It is difficult to determine the true allele frequency of this variant because it is of type DEL_BIG, and the frequency of such variant types in population databases may be underestimated and unreliable. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. R36R) has been classified as Likely benign.

Genes affected

WRN (HGNC:12791): (WRN RecQ like helicase) This gene encodes a member of the RecQ subfamily of DNA helicase proteins. The encoded nuclear protein is important in the maintenance of genome stability and plays a role in DNA repair, replication, transcription and telomere maintenance. This protein contains a N-terminal 3' to 5' exonuclease domain, an ATP-dependent helicase domain and RQC (RecQ helicase conserved region) domain in its central region, and a C-terminal HRDC (helicase RNase D C-terminal) domain and nuclear localization signal. Defects in this gene are the cause of Werner syndrome, an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by accelerated aging and an elevated risk for certain cancers. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2017]

In summary, this is a novel in-frame deletion with uncertain impact on protein function. It has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. Experimental studies and prediction algorithms are not available for this variant, and the functional significance of the deleted amino acids is currently unknown. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency) and has not been reported in the literature in individuals with a WRN-related disease. This sequence change deletes 12 nucleotides from exon 3 of the WRN mRNA (c.106_117delCGGAAGAGTGTT). This leads to the deletion of 4 amino acid residues in the WRN protein (p.Arg36_Val39del) but otherwise preserves the integrity of the reading frame. -
