Genes affected
VPS13B (HGNC:2183): (vacuolar protein sorting 13 homolog B) This gene encodes a potential transmembrane protein that may function in vesicle-mediated transport and sorting of proteins within the cell. This protein may play a role in the development and the function of the eye, hematological system, and central nervous system. Mutations in this gene have been associated with Cohen syndrome. Multiple splice variants encoding distinct isoforms have been identified for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Trp3649*) in the VPS13B gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in VPS13B are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 15141358, 16648375, 20461111). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with Cohen syndrome (PMID: 19006247). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 56631). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Variant summary: VPS13B c.10946G>A (p.Trp3649X) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. Truncations downstream of this position have been classified as pathogenic by our laboratory (e.g., p.Pro3969fsX41). The variant was absent in 246322 control chromosomes. c.10946G>A has been reported in the literature in two family members affected with Cohen Syndrome. These data indicate that the variant may be associated with disease. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. One clinical diagnostic laboratory has submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 and classified the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely pathogenic. -

The W3649X nonsense variant in the VPS13B gene has been reported previously in association with Cohen syndrome (Seifert et al., 2009). This variant is predicted to cause loss of normal protein function either through protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. Based on currently available evidence, we consider W3649X to be pathogenic. -
