Genes affected

TMEM67 (HGNC:28396): (transmembrane protein 67) The protein encoded by this gene localizes to the primary cilium and to the plasma membrane. The gene functions in centriole migration to the apical membrane and formation of the primary cilium. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. Defects in this gene are a cause of Meckel syndrome type 3 (MKS3) and Joubert syndrome type 6 (JBTS6). [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2008]

ACMG classification

Our verdict: Pathogenic. The variant received 16 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a hotspot region, there are 4 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 0 benign, 8 uncertain in NM_153704.6
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.985
• PP5: Variant 8-93765416-T-C is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr8-93765416-T-C is described in ClinVar as Pathogenic/Likely_pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 219997.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with Joubert syndrome (PMID: 30455918; Invitae). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 219997). 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 TMEM67 protein function. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may create or strengthen a splice site. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change replaces cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, with arginine, which is basic and polar, at codon 173 of the TMEM67 protein (p.Cys173Arg). -
