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]

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLaboratory for Molecular Medicine, Mass General Brigham Personalized MedicineFeb 02, 2023The p.Arg778Trp variant in ATP7B has been reported in several individuals with Wilson disease, including at least 4 homozygotes and 9 compound heterozygotes (Coffey 2013, Dufernez 2013, Okada 2000). This variant has also been identified in 0.01% (3/15482) of African chromosomes by gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org). Computational prediction tools and conservation analysis suggest that this variant may impact the protein, though this information is not predictive enough to determine pathogenicity. In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for autosomal recessive Wilson disease. ACMG/AMP criteria applied: PM3_VeryStrong, PM2, PP3, PP4. -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpMar 09, 2017Variant summary: The ATP7B c.2332C>T (p.Arg778Trp) variant involves the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. 5/5 in silico tools predict a damaging outcome for this variant. This variant was found in 5/120374 control chromosomes at a frequency of 0.0000415, which does not exceed the estimated maximal expected allele frequency of a pathogenic ATP7B variant (0.0054006). This variant is in the P-type ATPase A domain (IPR008250) with one study (Kumar_MCB_2007) showing decreased copper stimulated ATPase activity with this variant compared to WT and biochemical finding suggesting deleterious effect (Kumar, 2007; Dufernez, 2013). The variant was identified in multiple affected individuals homozygously or in compound heterozygosity in patients with clinically and biochemically confirmed Wilsons disease (WD). Multiple family studies showed segregation of this variant with WD. The codon Arg778 appears to be a mutational hot-spot, as other alteration, such as p.R778Q, p.R778G and p.R778L have been reported in patients with WD. Taken together, this variant is classified as pathogenic. -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingARUP Laboratories, Molecular Genetics and Genomics, ARUP LaboratoriesMay 20, 2022The ATP7B c.2332C>T; p.Arg778Trp variant (rs137853284) is reported in homozygous and compound heterozygous state in several individuals with Wilson disease (Butler 2001, Coffey 2013, Kumar 2007, Shah 1997) and is described as segregating with disease (Coffey 2013). The variant is listed in the ClinVar database (Variation ID: 456553) and in the general population with an overall allele frequency of 0.005% (13/249,436 alleles) in the Genome Aggregation Database. The arginine at codon 778 is highly conserved, and computational analyses predict that this variant is deleterious (REVEL: 0.877). In support of this prediction, this variant has been shown to have reduced function (Kumar 2007). Additionally, other amino acid substitutions at this codon (p.Arg778Gln, p.Arg778Gly, p.Arg778Leu) have been reported in individuals with Wilson disease and are considered pathogenic (Dong 2016, Forbes 1998, Kumar 2007, Schushan 2012). Considering available information, this variant is classified as pathogenic. References: Butler P et al. Molecular diagnosis of Wilson disease. Mol Genet Metab. 2001 Mar;72(3):223-30. PMID: 11243728.

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeDec 26, 2023This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with tryptophan, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 778 of the ATP7B protein (p.Arg778Trp). This variant is present in population databases (rs137853284, gnomAD 0.02%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with Kayser-Fleischer rings and low serum ceruloplasmin, findings that are highly specific for Wilson disease (PMID: 17160357). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 456553). 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) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt ATP7B protein function with a positive predictive value of 80%. This variant disrupts the p.Arg778 amino acid residue in ATP7B. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 10790207, 11405812, 16283883, 19937698, 20517649, 20931554, 21682854, 23333878, 27022412). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAll of Us Research Program, National Institutes of HealthNov 20, 2023This variant was detected in multiple affected individuals as homozygous or as compound heterozygous (in trans) with a likely pathogenic or pathogenic variant, which is consistent with autosomal recessive inheritance (PMID: 9311736, 10502777, 17160357, 30120852, 23567103, 36096368, 25130000, 16207219, 22735241, 20453399, 23518715). It has been reported to co-segregate with Wilson disease in multiple families (PMID: 23518715). This variant is rare in large population databases, including the Genome Aggregation Database (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/). It is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Functional analysis suggests that this variant results in a deleterious effect on the protein (PMID: 17160357). Other missense substitutions at this amino acid residue have been previously reported in individual(s) with Wilson disease and classified as pathogenic (ClinVar variant IDs: 3852, 550914, 156283), which supports the functional importance of this position. -

Inborn genetic diseases Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsNov 19, 2014The p.R778W pathogenic mutation (also known as c.2332C>T), located in coding exon 8 of the ATP7B gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 2332. The arginine at codon 778 is replaced by tryptophan, an amino acid with dissimilar properties. This mutation has been seen in trans with another mutation in four individuals from two unrelated families who all fulfilled diagnostic criteria (developed at the 8th International Meeting on Wilson disease) for Wilson disease (Coffey AJ, et al. Brain 2013 May; 136(Pt 5):1476-87). In addition, mutations affecting the same arginine reside at codon 778, p.R778L and p.R778G, have been reported in the literature (Chuang LM, et al. J. Med. Genet. 1996 Jun; 33(6):521-3). Based on the supporting evidence, p.R778W is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -
