Genes affected

BBS2 (HGNC:967): (Bardet-Biedl syndrome 2) This gene is a member of the Bardet-Biedl syndrome (BBS) gene family. Bardet-Biedl syndrome is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by severe pigmentary retinopathy, obesity, polydactyly, renal malformation and cognitive disability. The proteins encoded by BBS gene family members are structurally diverse and the similar phenotypes exhibited by mutations in BBS gene family members is likely due to their shared roles in cilia formation and function. Many BBS proteins localize to the basal bodies, ciliary axonemes, and pericentriolar regions of cells. BBS proteins may also be involved in intracellular trafficking via microtubule-related transport. The protein encoded by this gene forms a multiprotein BBSome complex with seven other BBS proteins.[provided by RefSeq, Oct 2014]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 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 16-56497835-G-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr16-56497835-G-A is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 551008.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars. Variant chr16-56497835-G-A is described in Lovd as [Likely_pathogenic].

This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individuals with Bardet-Biedl syndrome (PMID: 20120035). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Gln569*) in the BBS2 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in BBS2 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 11285252, 20177705, 24608809, 26518167). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 551008). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
