Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp | Dec 13, 2023 | This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg146*) in the VPS13B gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in VPS13B are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 15141358, 16648375, 20461111). This variant is present in population databases (rs144539572, gnomAD 0.01%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with Cohen syndrome (PMID: 20656880, 23188044). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 370440). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. - |

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp | Feb 21, 2021 | Variant summary: VPS13B c.436C>T (p.Arg146X) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. At-least one truncation downstream of this position has been classified as pathogenic by our laboratory. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 2e-05 in 251172 control chromosomes. c.436C>T has been reported in the literature in at-least two individuals affected with Cohen Syndrome, one of whom as a critically ill infant, underwent extensive clinical and diagnostic workup by whole genome sequencing (example, El Chehadeh_2010, Duplomb_2019, Wang_2020). To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Two clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014. All submitters classified the variant as pathogenic/likely pathogenic citing overlapping evidence utilized in the context of this evaluation. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. - |
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | Clinical Genomics Laboratory, Stanford Medicine | Dec 15, 2021 | The p.Arg146* variant in the VPS13B gene has been previously reported in the compound heterozygous state with a multi-exon deletion in an individual with Cohen syndrome; however, phasing of these variants was not reported (El Chehadeh-Djebbar et al., 2013). This variant was also reported in the heterozygous state in an affected individual with no identified second variant (El-Chehadeh et al., 2010). This variant has been identified in 7/282,550 chromosomes by the Genome Aggregation Database (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/). Although this variant has been seen in the general population, its frequency is low enough to be consistent with a recessive carrier frequency. This variant leads to a premature stop codon in exon 5 of 62 exons, and is therefore predicted to undergo nonsense-mediated decay resulting in a truncated or absent protein. Loss of function is an established mechanism of disease for the VPS13B gene. These data were assessed using the ACMG/AMP variant interpretation guidelines. In summary, there is sufficient evidence to classify the p.Arg146* variant as pathogenic for autosomal recessive Cohen syndrome based on the information above.
