Genes affected

USB1 (HGNC:25792): (U6 snRNA biogenesis phosphodiesterase 1) This gene encodes a protein with several conserved domains, however, its exact function is not known. Mutations in this gene are associated with poikiloderma with neutropenia (PN), which shows phenotypic overlap with Rothmund-Thomson syndrome (RTS) caused by mutations in the RECQL4 gene. It is believed that this gene product interacts with RECQL4 protein via SMAD4 proteins, explaining the partial clinical overlap between PN and RTS. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been noted for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2011]

ACMG classification

Our verdict: Pathogenic. The variant received 14 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Splicing +-2 bp (donor or acceptor) variant, product NOT destroyed by NMD, known LOF gene, truncates exone, which is 0.23057644 fraction of the gene. Cryptic splice site detected, with MaxEntScore 4, offset of 6, new splice context is: ctcctcccctccaaatgaAGcca. 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 16-58009928-G-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr16-58009928-G-A is described in ClinVar as Pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 496754.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.
