Genes affected

CEP290 (HGNC:29021): (centrosomal protein 290) This gene encodes a protein with 13 putative coiled-coil domains, a region with homology to SMC chromosome segregation ATPases, six KID motifs, three tropomyosin homology domains and an ATP/GTP binding site motif A. The protein is localized to the centrosome and cilia and has sites for N-glycosylation, tyrosine sulfation, phosphorylation, N-myristoylation, and amidation. Mutations in this gene have been associated with Joubert syndrome and nephronophthisis and the presence of antibodies against this protein is associated with several forms of cancer.

ACMG classification

Verdict is Benign. Variant got -8 ACMG points.

• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (MetaRNN=0.008776516).
• BS2: High Homozygotes in GnomAdExome4 at 9 AR gene

Variant summary: CEP290 c.4237G>C (p.Asp1413His) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Three of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0023 in 229244 control chromosomes in the gnomAD database, including 2 homozygotes. The observed variant frequency is approximately 2.0 fold of the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in CEP290 causing Meckel Syndrome Type 4 phenotype (0.0011), strongly suggesting that the variant is benign. To our knowledge, no penetrant association of c.4237G>C in individuals affected with Meckel Syndrome Type 4 and no experimental evidence demonstrating its impact on protein function have been reported. Nine clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation and a majority consensus as likely benign/benign (n=6) (VUS, n=3). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely benign. -

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This variant was observed in the ICSL laboratory as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. It had not been previously curated by ICSL or reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database (HGMD: prior to June 1st, 2018), and was therefore a candidate for classification through an automated scoring system. Utilizing variant allele frequency, disease prevalence and penetrance estimates, and inheritance mode, an automated score was calculated to assess if this variant is too frequent to cause the disease. Based on the score, this variant could not be ruled out of causing disease and therefore its association with disease required further investigation. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (if applicable). No publications were found based on this search. This variant was therefore classified as a variant of unknown significance for this disease. -

The score for this variant resulted in a classification of likely benign for this disease. -
