Genes affected
RRM2B (HGNC:17296): (ribonucleotide reductase regulatory TP53 inducible subunit M2B) This gene encodes the small subunit of a p53-inducible ribonucleotide reductase. This heterotetrameric enzyme catalyzes the conversion of ribonucleoside diphosphates to deoxyribonucleoside diphosphates. The product of this reaction is necessary for DNA synthesis. Mutations in this gene have been associated with autosomal recessive mitochondrial DNA depletion syndrome, autosomal dominant progressive external ophthalmoplegia-5, and mitochondrial neurogastrointestinal encephalopathy. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described.[provided by RefSeq, Feb 2010]

This sequence change affects codon 16 of the RRM2B mRNA. It is a 'silent' change, meaning that it does not change the encoded amino acid sequence of the RRM2B protein. RNA analysis indicates that this variant induces altered splicing and may result in an absent or disrupted protein product. This variant is present in population databases (no rsID available, gnomAD 0.004%). This variant has been observed in individual(s) with autosomal recessive mitochondrial myopathy (PMID: 32313153). This variant has been reported in individual(s) with autosomal dominant progressive external ophthalmoplegia (PMID: 23107649); however, the role of the variant in this condition is currently unclear. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 132103). Variants that disrupt the consensus splice site are a relatively common cause of aberrant splicing (PMID: 17576681, 9536098). Studies have shown that this variant results in premature truncating codon 26 codons beyond exon 1 and introduces a premature termination codon (PMID: 23107649). The resulting mRNA is expected to undergo nonsense-mediated decay. In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. -
