Genes affected
VPS13B (HGNC:2183): (vacuolar protein sorting 13 homolog B) This gene encodes a potential transmembrane protein that may function in vesicle-mediated transport and sorting of proteins within the cell. This protein may play a role in the development and the function of the eye, hematological system, and central nervous system. Mutations in this gene have been associated with Cohen syndrome. Multiple splice variants encoding distinct isoforms have been identified for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

This variant was observed in the ICSL laboratory as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. It had not been previously curated by ICSL or reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database (HGMD: prior to June 1st, 2018), and was therefore a candidate for classification through an automated scoring system. Utilizing variant allele frequency, disease prevalence and penetrance estimates, and inheritance mode, an automated score was calculated to assess if this variant is too frequent to cause the disease. Based on the score and internal cut-off values, a variant classified as likely benign is not then subjected to further curation. The score for this variant resulted in a classification of likely benign for this disease. -

This variant has been reported in the literature in at least 3 individuals with retinal disease including 1 individual with Cohen syndrome (Seifert 2009 PMID:19006247, Tiwari 2016 PMID:27353947, Stone 2017 PMID:28559085). Of note, at least 1 publication notes that this variant is not likely to be disease causing. This variant is present in the Genome Aggregation Database (Highest reported MAF 0.6% (417/68028) including 1 homozygote (https://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/variant/8-99442576-A-G?dataset=gnomad_r3). This variant is present in ClinVar, with several labs classifying this variant as Benign or Likely Benign (Variation ID:95845). Evolutionary conservation for this variant is unclear; suggest that this variant may not impact the protein. In summary, data on this variant suggests that this variant does not cause disease but requires further evidence. Therefore, this variant is classified as likely benign. -

Variant summary: VPS13B c.3386A>G (p.Lys1129Arg) results in a conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Three of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0046 in 251224 control chromosomes in the gnomAD database, including 5 homozygotes. The observed variant frequency is approximately 1.9 fold of the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in VPS13B causing Cohen Syndrome phenotype (0.0025), strongly suggesting that the variant is benign. To our knowledge, no penetrant association of c.3386A>G in individuals affected with Cohen Syndrome and no experimental evidence demonstrating its impact on protein function have been reported. Ten clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. All laboratories classified the variant as benign/likely benign. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as benign. -

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

This alteration is classified as benign based on a combination of the following: seen in unaffected individuals, population frequency, intact protein function, lack of segregation with disease, co-occurrence, RNA analysis, in silico models, amino acid conservation, lack of disease association in case-control studies, and/or the mechanism of disease or impacted region is inconsistent with a known cause of pathogenicity. -
