Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testing3billionJan 03, 2022Same nucleotide change resulting in same amino acid change has been previously reported as pathogenic/likely pathogenic with strong evidence (ClinVar ID: VCV000370228, PMID:26261414, PS1_S). Functional studies provide strong evidence of the variant having a damaging effect on the gene or gene product (PMID: 21520335, PS3_S). It is observed at an extremely low frequency in the gnomAD v2.1.1 dataset (total allele frequency: 0.000028, PM2_M). Therefore, this variant is classified as pathogenic according to the recommendation of ACMG/AMP guideline. -

BBS1-related disorder Pathogenic:1
Likely pathogenic, no assertion criteria providedclinical testingPreventionGenetics, part of Exact SciencesAug 06, 2024The BBS1 c.479G>A variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Arg160Gln. This variant has been reported in patients with retinitis pigmentosa or milder form of Bardet-Biedl syndrome. This variant is highly prevalent in patients of Arab-Muslim origin (Sharon and Banin. 2015. PubMed ID: 26261414; Hichri et al. 2005. PubMed ID: 15770229; Schmid et al. 2011. PubMed ID: 21520335; Hjortshøj et al. 2010. PubMed ID: 20120035). RT-PCR analysis indicated that this variant results in aberrant splicing. U1snRNA -mediated therapeutic approach to correct the splice defect in patient derived cell lines significantly increased correctly spliced BBS1 transcripts, which would suggest a high potential for gene therapy (Schmid et al. 2011. PubMed ID: 21520335). This variant is reported in 0.031% of alleles in individuals of African descent in gnomAD. This variant is interpreted as likely pathogenic. -

Bardet-Biedl syndrome Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLabcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), LabcorpOct 13, 2023This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with glutamine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 160 of the BBS1 protein (p.Arg160Gln). This variant also falls at the last nucleotide of exon 5, which is part of the consensus splice site for this exon. This variant is present in population databases (rs376894444, gnomAD 0.03%). This missense change has been observed in individuals with Bardet-Biedl syndrome or nonsyndromic retinitis pigmentosa (PMID: 15770229, 21520335, 26261414). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 370228). An algorithm developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (PolyPhen-2) suggests that this variant is likely to be disruptive. Variants that disrupt the consensus splice site are a relatively common cause of aberrant splicing (PMID: 17576681, 9536098). Studies have shown that this missense change is associated with altered splicing resulting in out of frame partial intron 5 inclusion and/or in-frame exon 6 skipping (PMID: 21520335). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
