Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 13 ACMG points: 13P and 0B. PM2 PM5 PP3 PP5_Very_Strong

The NM_031885.5(BBS2):​c.944G>A​(p.Arg315Gln) variant causes a missense change. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000547 in 1,461,876 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Likely pathogenic (★★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. R315W) has been classified as Pathogenic.

Genes affected

BBS2 (HGNC:967): (Bardet-Biedl syndrome 2) This gene is a member of the Bardet-Biedl syndrome (BBS) gene family. Bardet-Biedl syndrome is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by severe pigmentary retinopathy, obesity, polydactyly, renal malformation and cognitive disability. The proteins encoded by BBS gene family members are structurally diverse and the similar phenotypes exhibited by mutations in BBS gene family members is likely due to their shared roles in cilia formation and function. Many BBS proteins localize to the basal bodies, ciliary axonemes, and pericentriolar regions of cells. BBS proteins may also be involved in intracellular trafficking via microtubule-related transport. The protein encoded by this gene forms a multiprotein BBSome complex with seven other BBS proteins.[provided by RefSeq, Oct 2014]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 13 ACMG points.

• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PM5: Other missense variant is known to change same aminoacid residue: Variant chr16-56502454-G-A is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 4573.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.
• PP3: Splicing scoreres supports a deletorius effect: Scorers claiming Pathogenic: max_spliceai. No scorers claiming Uncertain. No scorers claiming Benign.
• PP5: Variant 16-56502453-C-T is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr16-56502453-C-T is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 555022.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars. Variant chr16-56502453-C-T is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with glutamine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 315 of the BBS2 protein (p.Arg315Gln). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with Bardet-Biedl syndrome and/or retinitis pigmentosa (PMID: 11567139, 12677556, 33777945, 33921607). 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: 555022). 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 not expected to disrupt BBS2 protein function. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects BBS2 function (PMID: 20498079). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may create or strengthen a splice site. This variant disrupts the p.Arg315 amino acid residue in BBS2. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 11567139, 27894351). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
