Variant summary

Our verdict is Uncertain significance. The variant received 5 ACMG points: 5P and 0B. PVS1_Strong PP5

The NM_024598.4(USB1):​c.683_693+1delAGGAACTACAGG​(p.Gln228ProfsTer35) variant causes a frameshift, splice donor, splice region, intron change. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. 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 Pathogenic (no stars).

Genes affected

USB1 (HGNC:25792): (U6 snRNA biogenesis phosphodiesterase 1) This gene encodes a protein with several conserved domains, however, its exact function is not known. Mutations in this gene are associated with poikiloderma with neutropenia (PN), which shows phenotypic overlap with Rothmund-Thomson syndrome (RTS) caused by mutations in the RECQL4 gene. It is believed that this gene product interacts with RECQL4 protein via SMAD4 proteins, explaining the partial clinical overlap between PN and RTS. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been noted for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2011]

ACMG classification

Our verdict: Uncertain_significance. The variant received 5 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product does not undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. Variant is located in the 3'-most 50 bp of the penultimate exon, not predicted to undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. Fraction of 0.144 CDS is truncated, and there are 1 pathogenic variants in the truncated region.
• PP5: Variant 16-58019044-CAGGAACTACAGG-C is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr16-58019044-CAGGAACTACAGG-C is described in ClinVar as Pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 202.Status of the report is no_assertion_criteria_provided, 0 stars.
