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]

This fetus is heterozygous for a known pathogenic variant, c.1046T>C (p.Leu349Ser), in the TMEM67 gene. This variant (dbSNP: rs386834180) has been previously reported in fetuses with Meckel syndrome in the literature (Iannicelli et al 2010 Hum Mutat 31:E1319-1331; Khaddour et al 2007 Hum Mutat 28:523-524). Functional studies have shown that this variant is pathogenic (Abdelhamed et al 2015 Disease models & Mechanisms 8:527-541) -

Published functional studies demonstrate that the L349S variant impacts protein function (Abdelhamed et al., 2015; Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 21068128, 19574260, 28844315, 17397051, 21866095, 19466712, 20232449, 23559409, 26092869, 26729329, 31589614, 34731008, 32160518, 26035863) -

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change replaces leucine, which is neutral and non-polar, with serine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 349 of the TMEM67 protein (p.Leu349Ser). This variant is present in population databases (rs386834180, gnomAD 0.005%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with TMEM67-related ciliopathies (PMID: 17397051, 19574260, 20232449, 21068128, 26729329). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 56762). 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%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects TMEM67 function (PMID: 26035863). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

Across a selection of the available literature, the TMEM67 c.1046T>C (p.Leu349Ser) missense variant has been reported in at least seven individuals from six families with Joubert syndrome or Meckel syndrome (Khaddour et al. 2007; Iannicelli et al. 2010; Chaki et al. 2011; Bachmann-Gagescu et al. 2015). Four of the cases were terminated fetuses that met the diagnostic criteria for Meckel syndrome. In three of these cases, including one sibling pair, the variant was observed in a compound heterozygous state with a truncating variant; in the fourth case, it was found in a homozygous state. In the remaining three cases, it was observed in a compound heterozygous state with a second missense variant in individuals with Joubert syndrome. Parental inheritance of the variant was demonstrated in two of the compound heterozygous cases. The p.Leu349Ser variant was absent from at least 410 control chromosomes and is reported at a frequency of 0.000060 in the European (non-Finnish) population of the Exome Aggregation Consortium. Functional studies conducted in embryonic fibroblasts from Tmem67 knockout mice showed that unlike the wildtype protein, p.Leu349Ser TMEM67 was unable to rescue the impaired canonical Wnt/Î²-catenin signalling or deficient response to Wnt5a observed in the Tmem67-deficient cells (Abdelhamed et al. 2015). Based on the collective evidence, the p.Leu349Ser variant is classified as pathogenic for TMEM67-related disorders. This variant was observed by ICSL as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. -
