Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 16 ACMG points: 16P and 0B. PVS1PM2PP3_StrongPP5_Moderate
The NM_153704.6(TMEM67):c.869G>A(p.Trp290*) variant causes a stop gained, splice region change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. 3/3 splice prediction tools predicting alterations to normal splicing. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic (★). Variant results in nonsense mediated mRNA decay.
TMEM67 (HGNC:28396): (transmembrane protein 67) The protein encoded by this gene localizes to the primary cilium and to the plasma membrane. The gene functions in centriole migration to the apical membrane and formation of the primary cilium. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. Defects in this gene are a cause of Meckel syndrome type 3 (MKS3) and Joubert syndrome type 6 (JBTS6). [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2008]

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Trp290*) in the TMEM67 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in TMEM67 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 20232449, 23559409). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with TMEM67-related conditions. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
