Genes affected
WAS (HGNC:12731): (WASP actin nucleation promoting factor) The Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome (WAS) family of proteins share similar domain structure, and are involved in transduction of signals from receptors on the cell surface to the actin cytoskeleton. The presence of a number of different motifs suggests that they are regulated by a number of different stimuli, and interact with multiple proteins. Recent studies have demonstrated that these proteins, directly or indirectly, associate with the small GTPase, Cdc42, known to regulate formation of actin filaments, and the cytoskeletal organizing complex, Arp2/3. Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome is a rare, inherited, X-linked, recessive disease characterized by immune dysregulation and microthrombocytopenia, and is caused by mutations in the WAS gene. The WAS gene product is a cytoplasmic protein, expressed exclusively in hematopoietic cells, which show signalling and cytoskeletal abnormalities in WAS patients. A transcript variant arising as a result of alternative promoter usage, and containing a different 5' UTR sequence, has been described, however, its full-length nature is not known.

For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. This variant is also known as 1305del in exon 10. This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome (PMID: 7753869). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Gly424Alafs*21) in the WAS gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in WAS are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 15284122). -
