Genes affected
WDR35 (HGNC:29250): (WD repeat domain 35) This gene encodes a member of the WD repeat protein family. WD repeats are minimally conserved regions of approximately 40 amino acids typically bracketed by gly-his and trp-asp (GH-WD), which may facilitate formation of heterotrimeric or multiprotein complexes. Members of this family are involved in a variety of cellular processes, including cell cycle progression, signal transduction, apoptosis, and gene regulation. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been found for this gene. Two patients with Sensenbrenner syndrome / cranioectodermal dysplasia (CED) were identified with mutations in this gene, consistent with a possible ciliary function.[provided by RefSeq, Sep 2010]

The WDR35 c.1183A>T; p.Asn395Tyr variant (rs143343508) is reported in a fetus affected with short-rib polydactyly syndromes without biallelic pathogenic findings, no functional or segregation data were provided (Zhang 2018). This variant is also reported in ClinVar (Variation ID: 288569) and is found in the non-Finnish European population with an allele frequency of 0.27% (342/128,986 alleles) in the Genome Aggregation Database. Computational analyses are uncertain whether this variant is neutral or deleterious (REVEL: 0.26). Due to limited information, the clinical significance of the p.Asn395Tyr variant is uncertain at this time. References: Zhang et al.

The WDR35 c.1183A>T variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Asn395Tyr. This variant was reported in an individual with short rib-polydactyly syndrome (Table S3, Zhang et al. 2018. PubMed ID: 29068549). This variant is reported in 0.27% of alleles in individuals of European (non-Finnish) descent in gnomAD. Although we suspect that this variant may be benign, at this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -

This variant was observed in the ICSL laboratory as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. It had not been previously curated by ICSL or reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database (HGMD: prior to June 1st, 2018), and was therefore a candidate for classification through an automated scoring system. Utilizing variant allele frequency, disease prevalence and penetrance estimates, and inheritance mode, an automated score was calculated to assess if this variant is too frequent to cause the disease. Based on the score, this variant could not be ruled out of causing disease and therefore its association with disease required further investigation. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (if applicable). No publications were found based on this search. This variant was therefore classified as a variant of unknown significance for this disease. -

Variant summary: WDR35 c.1183A>T (p.Asn395Tyr) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0017 in 251214 control chromosomes, predominantly at a frequency of 0.0027 within the Non-Finnish European subpopulation in the gnomAD database. The observed variant frequency within Non-Finnish European control individuals in the gnomAD database exceeds the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in WDR35 causing WDR35-Related Disorders phenotype. c.1183A>T has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with short-rib polydactyly syndrome (Zhang_2018). These report(s) do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with WDR35-Related Disorders. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publication have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 29068549). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 288569). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely benign. -
