Genes affected

NIPBL (HGNC:28862): (NIPBL cohesin loading factor) This gene encodes the homolog of the Drosophila melanogaster Nipped-B gene product and fungal Scc2-type sister chromatid cohesion proteins. The Drosophila protein facilitates enhancer-promoter communication of remote enhancers and plays a role in developmental regulation. It is also homologous to a family of chromosomal adherins with broad roles in sister chromatid cohesion, chromosome condensation, and DNA repair. The human protein has a bipartite nuclear targeting sequence and a putative HEAT repeat. Condensins, cohesins and other complexes with chromosome-related functions also contain HEAT repeats. Mutations in this gene result in Cornelia de Lange syndrome, a disorder characterized by dysmorphic facial features, growth delay, limb reduction defects, and cognitive disability. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change falls in intron 27 of the NIPBL gene. It does not directly change the encoded amino acid sequence of the NIPBL protein. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This variant has been observed in individual(s) with Cornelia de Lange syndrome (PMID: 26701315, 26925417). In at least one individual the variant was observed to be de novo. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 159142). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The variant is not observed in the gnomAD v2.1.1 dataset. Functional studies provide strong evidence of the variant having a damaging effect on the gene or gene product (PMID: 26925417). The variant has been observed in multiple (>3) similarly affected unrelated individuals (PMID: 26925417). The variant has been reported to co-segregate with the disease in at least 3 similarly affected relatives/individuals in the same family or similarly affected unrelated families (PMID: 26925417). The variant has been reported at least twice as pathogenic with clinical assertions and evidence for the classification (ClinVar ID: VCV000159142). Therefore, this variant is classified as Pathogenic according to the recommendation of ACMG/AMP guideline. -

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The c.5329-15A>G intronic alteration consists of an A to G substitution 15 nucleotides before exon 28 (coding exon 27) of the NIPBL gene. This variant was not reported in population-based cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). This variant has been reported in multiple individuals with features consistent with Cornelia de Lange syndrome (Nizon, 2016; Teresa-Rodrigo, 2016). This nucleotide position is poorly conserved in available vertebrate species. RNA studies have demonstrated that this alteration results in abnormal splicing (Nizon, 2016; Teresa-Rodrigo, 2016). In silico splice site analysis predicts that this alteration may weaken the native splice acceptor site. Based on the available evidence, this alteration is classified as pathogenic. -

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The NIPBL c.5329-15A>G variant is predicted to interfere with splicing. This variant has been previously reported in individuals with Cornelia de Lange syndrome or neurodevelopmental disorders (Teresa-Rodrigo et al. 2016. PubMed ID: 26925417; Nizon et al. 2016. PubMed ID: 26701315; Table 3, Pablo et al. 2021. PubMed ID: 34717699; Álvarez-Mora et al. 2022. PubMed ID: 35183220). Functional studies have found that the presence of this variant results in the skipping of exon 28, with a shorter protein product which retains its reading frame (Teresa-Rodrigo et al. 2016. PubMed ID: 26925417). This variant has not been reported in a large polulation database (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org), indicating this variant is rare. This variant is interpreted as likely pathogenic. -
