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]

NIPBL (HGNC:):

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Splicing +-2 bp (donor or acceptor) variant, LoF is a know mechanism of disease, Cryptic splice site detected, with MaxEntScore 4.2, offset of 23, new splice context is: aagGTgata. Cryptic site results in frameshift change. If cryptic site found is not functional and variant results in exon loss, it results in frameshift change.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 5-36971037-G-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr5-36971037-G-A is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 159235.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Genome-Nilou Lab	Jul 15, 2021	- -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp	Nov 14, 2022	For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 159235). Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individual(s) with Cornelia de Lange syndrome (PMID: 25574841, 28588001). 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 affects a donor splice site in intron 7 of the NIPBL gene. It is expected to disrupt RNA splicing. Variants that disrupt the donor or acceptor splice site typically lead to a loss of protein function (PMID: 16199547), and loss-of-function variants in NIPBL are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 15318302, 19763162, 23505322, 29995837). -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Victorian Clinical Genetics Services, Murdoch Childrens Research Institute	Oct 09, 2024	Based on the classification scheme VCGS_Germline_v1.3.4, this variant is classified as Pathogenic. Following criteria are met: 0102 - Loss of function is a known mechanism of disease in this gene and is associated with Cornelia de Lange syndrome 1 (MIM#122470). (I) 0107 - This gene is associated with autosomal dominant disease. (I) 0211 - Canonical splice site variant without proven consequence on splicing (no functional evidence available). The variant has been described to result in an in-frame deletion of the last seven amino acids of exon 7; however, data supporting this observation was not provided (PMID: 28588001). (SP) 0251 - This variant is heterozygous. (I) 0301 - Variant is absent from gnomAD (both v2 and v3). (SP) 0311 - An alternative nucleotide change at the same canonical splice site is present in gnomAD (v3) (1 heterozygote, 0 homozygotes). (I) 0505 - Abnormal splicing is predicted by in silico tools and affected nucleotide is highly conserved. (SP) 0801 - This variant has strong previous evidence of pathogenicity in unrelated individuals. It has been observed in multiple individuals with Cornelia de Lange syndrome (PMIDs: 28588001, 25574841, 32037394). In addition, it has been reported as pathogenic by multiple clinical laboratories (ClinVar). (SP) 1101 - Very strong and specific phenotype match for this individual. (SP) 1203 - This variant has been shown to be de novo in the proband (parental status confirmed by trio analysis).
