Genes affected
ATP7B (HGNC:870): (ATPase copper transporting beta) This gene is a member of the P-type cation transport ATPase family and encodes a protein with several membrane-spanning domains, an ATPase consensus sequence, a hinge domain, a phosphorylation site, and at least 2 putative copper-binding sites. This protein is a monomer, and functions as a copper-transporting ATPase which exports copper out of the cells, such as the efflux of hepatic copper into the bile. Alternate transcriptional splice variants, encoding different isoforms with distinct cellular localizations, have been characterized. Mutations in this gene have been associated with Wilson disease which is characterized by copper accumulation. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2019]

This variant causes a G to C nucleotide substitution at the -1 position of intron 4 of the ATP7B gene. Splice site prediction tools predict that this variant may have a significant impact on RNA splicing. An RNA study showed that this variant causes in-frame skipping of exon 5, which contained the final copper-binding site domain (PMID: 9829905). This variant has been observed in many individuals affected with autosomal recessive Wilson disease (PMID: 7626145, 9829905, 10502777, 11043508, 11060541, 11405812, 16133174, 17823867, 18034201, 20417464, 20931554, 21034864, 23518715, 23843956, 24094725, 24146181, 25089800, 27022412, 27982432, 31172689, 32281751, 33640437, 34002136, 34324271, 35444691, 35782615), including in the compound heterozygous state with a second pathogenic ATP7B variant (PMID: 9829905, 11043508, 16133174, 20417464, 21034864, 23518715, 23843956, 24094725, 24146181, 31172689). This variant has been identified in 8/280856 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Loss of ATP7B function is a known mechanism of disease (clinicalgenome.org). Based on the available evidence, this variant is classified as Pathogenic. -

Variant summary: ATP7B c.1708-1G>C is located in a canonical splice-site and is predicted to affect mRNA splicing resulting in a significantly altered protein due to either exon skipping, shortening, or inclusion of intronic material. Several computational tools predict a significant impact on normal splicing: Five predict the variant abolishes a 3' acceptor site. At least one publication reports experimental evidence that this variant determines exon 5 skipping (Tsai_1999). The variant allele was found at a frequency of 2.9e-05 in 277094 control chromosomes (gnomAD). The variant, c.1708-1G>C, has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Wilson Disease (Coffey_2013, Hua_2016, Mukherjee_2014, Tsai_1999). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. No clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

This sequence change affects an acceptor splice site in intron 4 of the ATP7B gene. It is expected to disrupt RNA splicing. Variants that disrupt the donor or acceptor splice site typically lead to a loss of protein function (PMID: 16199547), and loss-of-function variants in ATP7B are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 10441329, 16283883). This variant is present in population databases (rs137853280, gnomAD 0.02%). Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individuals with Wilson disease (PMID: 7626145, 9829905, 27398169). This variant is also known as c.1711-1G>C. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 3850). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

The observed splice acceptor c.1708-1G>C variant in ATP7B gene has been reported previously in homozygous or compound heterozygous state in individual(s) affected with Wilson disease (WD) (Wang et al., 2023). This variant is reported with the allele frequency of 0.003% in the gnomAD Exomes. This variant has been reported to the ClinVar database as Pathogenic (multiple submissions). The variant affects AG acceptor splice site in the 3' end of intron 4. This variant is predicted to cause loss of normal protein function through protein truncation. Loss of function variants have been previously reported to be disease causing (Gromadzka et al., 2005). The spliceAI tool predicts that this splice site variant is damaging. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

The NM_000053.4:c.1708-1G>C, is a canonical splice site variant after exon 5 of ATP7B gene which is predicted to result in splice acceptor defect resulting in an in-frame exon 5 skipping which is a known mechanism of disease (PVS1 – Pathogenic Strong as per PMID:30192042). This effect is also confirmed by functional studies (PMID: 9829905) (PS3- Pathogenic Supporting). This variant was found in a supposedly compound heterozygous state with NM_000053.4:c.2930C>T (Pathogenic) in a proband with strong clinical suspicion of Wilson disease with dysarthria, tremors, corneal KF ring, low ceruloplasmin and typical neuro-radiological finding of symmetrical hyperintensity in the caudate, putamen, and thalami. This variant was previously reported in 16 different publications (PMID:23843956; PMID:27398169; PMID:23275100; PMID:21034864; PMID:20931554; PMID:10441329; PMID:11060541; PMID:24146181; PMID:24094725; PMID:23518715; PMID:22735241; PMID:18034201; PMID:11405812; PMID:9829905; PMID:7626145; PMID:16283883) (PM3 – Very Strong). This variant has an allele frequency of 0.00001115 in gnomAD v4.1.0 and 0.0001098 in South Asians (PM2 – Pathogenic Moderate). In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic based on the ACMG/AMP criteria applied, as specified by PVS1, PS3, PM3 & PM2 criteria. -
