Genes affected
WDR35 (HGNC:29250): (WD repeat domain 35) This gene encodes a member of the WD repeat protein family. WD repeats are minimally conserved regions of approximately 40 amino acids typically bracketed by gly-his and trp-asp (GH-WD), which may facilitate formation of heterotrimeric or multiprotein complexes. Members of this family are involved in a variety of cellular processes, including cell cycle progression, signal transduction, apoptosis, and gene regulation. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been found for this gene. Two patients with Sensenbrenner syndrome / cranioectodermal dysplasia (CED) were identified with mutations in this gene, consistent with a possible ciliary function.[provided by RefSeq, Sep 2010]

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg332*) in the WDR35 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in WDR35 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 22486404, 29068549). This variant is present in population databases (rs199840434, gnomAD 0.004%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with WDR35-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 579675). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Collection Method:clinical testing

The WDR35 c.994C>T variant is predicted to result in premature protein termination (p.Arg332*). This variant has been reported in the compound heterozygous state along with a second WDR35 variant in an individual with Sensenbrenner syndrome (Quinaux et al. 2021. PubMed ID: 33606107). This variant was also found in the heterozygous state in an individual with kidney disfunction; however, a second WDR35 was not identified (Sakakibara et al. 2022. PubMed ID: 35140360). This variant is reported in 0.0040% of alleles in individuals of African descent in gnomAD. Nonsense variants in WDR35 are expected to be pathogenic. This variant is interpreted as pathogenic. -
