Genes affected
WWOX (HGNC:12799): (WW domain containing oxidoreductase) This gene encodes a member of the short-chain dehydrogenases/reductases (SDR) protein family. This gene spans the FRA16D common chromosomal fragile site and appears to function as a tumor suppressor gene. Expression of the encoded protein is able to induce apoptosis, while defects in this gene are associated with multiple types of cancer. Disruption of this gene is also associated with autosomal recessive spinocerebellar ataxia 12. Disruption of a similar gene in mouse results in impaired steroidogenesis, additionally suggesting a metabolic function for the protein. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

PM2
Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage;
BP4
Computational evidence support a benign effect (MetaRNN=0.28087968).
BS1
Variant frequency is greater than expected in population afr. gnomad4 allele frequency = 0.000263 (40/152172) while in subpopulation AFR AF= 0.000963 (40/41524). AF 95% confidence interval is 0.000727. There are 0 homozygotes in gnomad4. There are 18 alleles in male gnomad4 subpopulation. This position pass quality control queck.

Autosomal recessive spinocerebellar ataxia 12;C3463992:Developmental and epileptic encephalopathy, 1 Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeOct 17, 2022This sequence change replaces tyrosine, which is neutral and polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 238 of the WWOX protein (p.Tyr238Cys). This variant is present in population databases (rs142806268, gnomAD 0.07%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with WWOX-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 377189). 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 WWOX protein function. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
