Genes affected

BBS7 (HGNC:18758): (Bardet-Biedl syndrome 7) This gene encodes one of eight proteins that form the BBSome complex containing BBS1, BBS2, BBS4, BBS5, BBS7, BBS8, BBS9 and BBIP10. The BBSome complex is believed to recruit Rab8(GTP) to the primary cilium and promote ciliogenesis. The BBSome complex assembly is mediated by a complex composed of three chaperonin-like BBS proteins (BBS6, BBS10, and BBS12) and CCT/TRiC family chaperonins. Mutations in this gene are implicated in Bardet-Biedl syndrome, a genetic disorder whose symptoms include obesity, retinal degeneration, polydactyly and nephropathy; however, mutations in this gene and the BBS8 gene are thought to play a minor role and mutations in chaperonin-like BBS genes are found to be a major contributor to disease development in a multiethnic Bardet-Biedl syndrome patient population. Two transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been identified for this gene.[provided by RefSeq, Oct 2014]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 12 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product undergoes nonsense mediated mRNA decay. LoF is a known mechanism of disease.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 4-121855547-C-CTT is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr4-121855547-C-CTT is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 531829.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.

This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with BBS7-related conditions. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 531829). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Met181Ilefs*14) in the BBS7 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in BBS7 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 12567324, 19402160, 21209035, 31196119). -
