Genes affected

TMEM231 (HGNC:37234): (transmembrane protein 231) This gene encodes a transmembrane protein, which is a component of the B9 complex involved in the formation of the diffusion barrier between the cilia and plasma membrane. Mutations in this gene cause Joubert syndrome (JBTS). Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2013]

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Ser83*) in the TMEM231 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in TMEM231 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 23012439, 23349226). This variant is present in population databases (rs200063331, gnomAD 0.04%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with TMEM231-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 565503). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Significance: Likely pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The c.176C>A (p.S59*) alteration, located in exon 1 (coding exon 1) of the TMEM231 gene, consists of a C to A substitution at nucleotide position 176. This changes the amino acid from a serine (S) to a stop codon at amino acid position 59. This alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. Based on the available evidence, this alteration is classified as likely pathogenic. -

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

Variant summary: TMEM231 c.248C>A (p.Ser83X) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which is a commonly known mechanism for disease. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00023 in 177604 control chromosomes. This frequency is not significantly higher than estimated for a pathogenic variant in TMEM231 causing Joubert Syndrome And Related Disorders (0.00023 vs 0.0004), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. To the best of our knowledge, c.248C>A has been not reported in the literature in individuals affected with Joubert Syndrome And Related Disorders, but in an individual with Congenital Stationary Night Blindness, this variant was reported as an additional finding, together with a pathogenic NYX variant that may fully explain the eye phenotype (Zhu_2022). These report(s) do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Joubert Syndrome And Related Disorders. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publication have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 35456422). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 565503). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
