Genes affected
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]

The heterozygous p.Ile833Thr variant in TMEM67 was identified by our study in the compound heterozygous state, with a VUS, in one individual with Joubert syndrome. This variant has been reported pathogenic by OMIM in ClinVar (Variation ID: 1378) and has been identified in 0.007909% (10/126438) of European (non-Finnish) chromosomes by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org; dbSNP rs267607119). Although this variant has been seen in the general population, its frequency is low enough to be consistent with a recessive carrier frequency. Computational prediction tools and conservation analyses suggest that this variant may impact the protein, though this information is not predictive enough to determine pathogenicity. The p.Ile833Thr variant in TMEM67 has been reported in 10 individuals from a variety of ethnic backgrounds (Egypt, Croatia, Belgium, Japan, Germany) with Joubert syndrome and segregated with disease in 2 affected relatives from 1 family (PMID: 26092869, 19058225, 21633164, 19508969). The presence of this variant in combination with 4 variants (all reported pathogenic by the literature/OMIM in ClinVar and 1 reported pathogenic in ClinVar by additional submitters) and in 4 individuals with Joubert syndrome increases the likelihood that the p.Ile833Thr variant is pathogenic. In summary, although additional studies are required to fully establish its clinical significance, this variant is likely pathogenic. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: PM2, PM3_Strong, PP1, PP3 (Richards 2015). -

This variant affects a highly conserved amino acid and is predicted by multiple in silico tools to have a deleterious effect on protein function. The c.2498T>C (p.Ile833Thr) variant has been previously reported as a compound heterozygous change in patients with TMEM67-related disorders (PMID: 19058225, 21866095, 21633164, 26092869, 28973083, 28497568, 29974258, 32359821, 34426522, 35005812). The c.2498T>C (p.Ile833Thr) variant is present in the heterozygous state in the gnomAD population database at a frequency of 0.004% (12/282526), and is absent in the homozygous state, thus is presumed to be rare. Based on the available evidence, c.2498T>C (p.Ile833Thr) is classified as Pathogenic. -

The TMEM67 c.2498T>C variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Ile833Thr. This variant has been documented to cause Joubert syndrome and related disorders in multiple unrelated individuals (Brancati et al. 2009. PubMed ID: 19058225; Supplementary Table S8, Chaki et al. 2011. PubMed ID: 21866095). This variant is reported in 0.0093% of alleles in individuals of European (Non-Finnish) descent in gnomAD. This variant is interpreted as pathogenic. -

Variant summary: TMEM67 c.2498T>C (p.Ile833Thr) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 4e-05 in 251186 control chromosomes. This frequency is not significantly higher than expected for a pathogenic variant in TMEM67 causing Joubert Syndrome And Related Disorders (4e-05 vs 0.0018), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. c.2498T>C has been reported in the literature as a compound heterozygous genotype in multiple individuals affected with Joubert Syndrome And Related Disorders (example, Brancati_2009, Iannicelli_2010, Vilboux_2017). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Eight clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. All laboratories classified the variant as pathogenic/likely pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces isoleucine, which is neutral and non-polar, with threonine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 833 of the TMEM67 protein (p.Ile833Thr). This variant is present in population databases (rs267607119, gnomAD 0.008%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with Joubert syndrome (PMID: 19058225, 21866095, 26092869, 28497568, 28973083). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 1378). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt TMEM67 protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
