Genes affected

WDR62 (HGNC:24502): (WD repeat domain 62) This gene is proposed to play a role in cerebral cortical development. Mutations in this gene have been associated with microencephaly, cortical malformations, and cognitive disability. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Victorian Clinical Genetics Services, Murdoch Childrens Research Institute	Feb 02, 2022	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 primary microcephaly 2, with or without cortical malformations (MIM#604317). (I) 0106 - This gene is associated with autosomal recessive disease. (I) 0212 - Non-canonical splice site variant without proven consequence on splicing (no functional evidence available). (SP) 0251 - This variant is heterozygous. (I) 0304 - Variant is present in gnomAD <0.01 for a recessive condition (v3: 13 heterozygotes, 0 homozygotes). (SP) 0705 - No comparable splice site variants have previous evidence for pathogenicity. (I) 0801 - This variant has strong previous evidence of pathogenicity in unrelated individuals. It has been reported in a homozygous state in two individuals within the DECIPHER cohort with microcephaly, intellectual disability and seizures; one of individuals also had polymicrogyria. At least two affected individuals were also identified by diagnostics laboratories in ClinVar, with one laboratory classifying the variant as likely pathogenic and the other as a variant of uncertain significance. Most recently, the variant has been reported in a homozygous state and a compound heterozygous state in two individuals with microcephaly, intellectual disability and seizures (PMID: 34402213). (SP) 0905 - No published segregation evidence has been identified for this variant. (I) 1007 - No published functional evidence has been identified for this variant. (I) 1208 - Inheritance information for this variant is not currently available in this individual. (I) Legend: (SP) - Supporting pathogenic, (I) - Information, (SB) - Supporting benign -

Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Invitae	Jul 07, 2023	This sequence change falls in intron 8 of the WDR62 gene. It does not directly change the encoded amino acid sequence of the WDR62 protein. It affects a nucleotide within the consensus splice site. This variant is present in population databases (rs587784541, gnomAD 0.01%). This variant has been observed in individual(s) with primary microcephaly (PMID: 34402213). 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: 160243). Variants that disrupt the consensus splice site are a relatively common cause of aberrant splicing (PMID: 17576681, 9536098). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant is not likely to affect RNA splicing. 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. -
Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	GeneDx	Dec 16, 2020	Not observed at a significant frequency in large population cohorts (Lek et al., 2016); In silico analysis, which includes splice predictors and evolutionary conservation, supports a deleterious effect; Has not been previously published as pathogenic or benign to our knowledge -
