Cornelia de Lange syndrome 1 Pathogenic:7
The NIPBL gene is highly constrained (Z-score= 6.68 and pLI = 1), which suggests it is intolerant to variation. The c.7168G>A (p.Ala2390Thr) variant affects a highly conserved amino acid; however, in silico tools used to predict the effect of this variant on protein function yield discordant results. This variant has been previously reported as a heterozygous change in individuals with Cornelia de Lange syndrome 1, including as a de novo event (PMID: 15318302, 32573669, 37377026, 34326454). Functional studies illustrated that this variant does not stimulate cohesin's ATPase activity (PMID: 35476527). The c.7168G>A (p.Ala2390Thr) variant is absent from the gnomAD v4 population database and thus is presumed to be rare. Analysis of the parental samples was negative for the variant, indicating this variant likely occurred as a de novo event. Based on the available evidence, c.7168G>A (p.Ala2390Thr) is classified as Pathogenic. -
ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 159223). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with classical Cornelia de Lange syndrome and mild Cornelia de Lange syndrome (PMID: 15318302, 23505322; Invitae). In at least one individual the variant was observed to be de novo. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change replaces alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, with threonine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 2390 of the NIPBL protein (p.Ala2390Thr). 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 NIPBL protein function. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

A heterozygous missense variation in exon 42 of the NIPBL gene that results in the amino acid substitution of Threonine for Alanine at codon 2390 was detected. The observed variant c.7168G>A (p.Ala2390Thr) has not been observed in the 1000 genomes and gnomAD databases. The in silico prediction of the variant is benign by PolyPhen-2 (HumDiv), SIFT, LRT and MutationTaster2. The reference codon is conserved across species Segregation analysis showed the variant to be of de novo origin. In summary, the variant meets our criteria to be classified as pathogenic. -
A heterozygous missense variant, NM_133433.3(NIPBL):c.7168G>A, has been identified in exon 42 of 47 of the NIPBL gene. The variant is predicted to result in a minor amino acid change from alanine to threonine at position 2390 of the protein (NP_597677.2(NIPBL):p.(Ala2390Thr)). The alanine residue at this position has very high conservation (100 vertebrates, UCSC), and is located within the Nipped-B_C domain. In silico predictions for this variant are consistently pathogenic (Polyphen, SIFT, CADD, Mutation Taster). The variant is absent in population databases (gnomAD, dbSNP, 1000G), but has previously been reported in patients with Cornelia de Lange syndrome (ClinVar, Gills L. et al. (2004), Huisman S. et al. (2013)). Analysis of parental samples indicated this variant is de novo. Based on the information available at the time of curation, this variant has been classified as PATHOGENIC. -
not provided Pathogenic:3
Published functional studies demonstrate a damaging effect with impaired ATPase and DNA loop extrusion activities of cohesin (Panarotto et al., 2022); 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: 15318302, 35476527, 23505322, 32573669, 34326454) -

Inborn genetic diseases Pathogenic:1
The p.A2390T variant (also known as c.7168G>A), located in coding exon 41 of the NIPBL gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 7168. The alanine at codon 2390 is replaced by threonine, an amino acid with similar properties. This variant was identified in 2 individuals with Cornelia de Lange syndrome. In one individual, this alteration occurred de novo, although paternity was not confirmed (Gillis LA et al. Am. J. Hum. Genet., 2004 Oct;75:610-23). The other individual was mosaic for this alteration; it was detected in buccal cells, but was absent in lymphocytes (Mannini L et al. Hum. Mutat., 2013 Dec;34:1589-96). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Based on the majority of available evidence to date, this variant is likely to be pathogenic. -
NIPBL-related disorder Pathogenic:1
The NIPBL c.7168G>A variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Ala2390Thr. This variant was previously reported in individuals with a clinical diagnosis of Cornelia de Lange syndrome (CdLS) (Table 1, patient 067P in Figure 1, Gillis et al. 2004. PubMed ID: 15318302), reported as de novo (Table S1, Mannini et al. 2013. PubMed ID: 24038889), or mosaic finding (Huisman et al. 2013. PubMed ID: 23505322). This variant was also identified in a two-day old critically ill infant presenting with intrauterine growth retardation, tetralogy of Fallot, highly arched eyebrow, smooth philtrum, micrognathia and microcephaly (Table e3, Lunke et al. 2020. PubMed ID: 32573669). This variant has not been reported in a large population database (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org), indicating this variant is rare. This variant is interpreted as likely pathogenic. -
