Genes affected

VPS13B (HGNC:2183): (vacuolar protein sorting 13 homolog B) This gene encodes a potential transmembrane protein that may function in vesicle-mediated transport and sorting of proteins within the cell. This protein may play a role in the development and the function of the eye, hematological system, and central nervous system. Mutations in this gene have been associated with Cohen syndrome. Multiple splice variants encoding distinct isoforms have been identified for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

ACMG classification

Our verdict: Pathogenic. The variant received 12 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Splicing +-2 bp (donor or acceptor) variant, product NOT destroyed by NMD, known LOF gene, truncates exone, which is 0.020714227 fraction of the gene. Cryptic splice site detected, with MaxEntScore 4.5, offset of 24, new splice context is: atgcttcagtctctgggcAGacc. Cryptic site results in inframe change. If cryptic site found is not functional and variant results in exon loss, it results in frameshift change.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 8-99871446-A-G is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr8-99871446-A-G is described in ClinVar as Pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 449747.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site, but this prediction has not been confirmed by published transcriptional studies. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. Donor and acceptor splice site variants typically lead to a loss of protein function (PMID: 16199547), and loss-of-function variants in VPS13B are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 15141358, 16648375, 20461111). This variant has been observed on the opposite chromosome (in trans) from a pathogenic variant in an individual with clinical features consistent with Cohen syndrome (Invitae). This finding is consistent with autosomal recessive inheritance, and suggests that this variant contributes to disease. This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with VPS13B-related disease. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This sequence change affects an acceptor splice site in intron 60 of the VPS13B gene. It is expected to disrupt RNA splicing and likely results in an absent or disrupted protein product. -

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The c.11571-2 A>G variant in VPS13B has not been published as a pathogenic variant, nor has it been reported as a benign variant to our knowledge. c.11571-2 A>G destroys the canonical splice acceptor site in intron 60. It is predicted to cause abnormal gene splicing, either leading to an abnormal message that is subject to nonsense-mediated mRNA decay, or to an abnormal protein product if the message is used for protein translation. Neither the frameshift nor splice site variant were observed in approximately 6,500 individuals of European and African American ancestry in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, indicating these are not common benign variants in these populations. -
