Progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis type 2 Pathogenic:2

The p.Arg575Ter variant in ABCB11 has been reported in many individuals with BSEP deficiency (PMID: 9806540, 17452236, 14988830, 18395098, 25847299, 28733223, 37168916), and has been identified in 0.05% (29/59856) of Latino/Admixed American chromosomes by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org; dbSNP rs72549401). Although this variant has been seen in the general population in a heterozygous state, its frequency is not high enough to rule out a pathogenic role. This variant has also been reported in ClinVar (Variation ID: 6589) and has been interpreted as pathogenic by Invitae and OMIM. Of the affected individuals, five were compound heterozygotes that carried a reported pathogenic or likely pathogenic variant in trans or with unknown phase, which increases the likelihood that the p.Arg575Ter variant is pathogenic (Variation ID: 501601, 595313; PMID: 17452236, 18395098). This nonsense variant leads to a premature termination codon at position 575, which is predicted to lead to a truncated or absent protein. Computational tools predict a splicing impact of in-frame exon skipping, though this information is not predictive enough to rule out pathogenicity. Loss of function of the ABCB11 gene is an established disease mechanism in autosomal recessive BSEP deficiency. In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for autosomal recessive BSEP deficiency. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: PVS1_strong, PM3_strong (Richards 2015). -
ABCB11-related disorder Pathogenic:1
The ABCB11 c.1723C>T variant is predicted to result in premature protein termination (p.Arg575*). This variant has been reported with a second ABCB11 variant or in the homozygous state in individuals with familial progressive intrahepatic cholestasis (Strautnieks et al 1998. PubMed ID: 9806540; Schiemann et al. 2007. PubMed ID: 17452236; Table S3, Hertel et al. 2021. PubMed ID: 34016879) or benign recurrent intrahepatic cholestasis (Kato et al. 2023. PubMed ID: 37762919). This variant is reported in 0.026% of alleles in individuals of Latino descent in gnomAD. Nonsense variants in ABCB11 are expected to be pathogenic. This variant is interpreted as pathogenic. -

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg575*) in the ABCB11 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in ABCB11 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 18395098, 20232290). This variant is present in population databases (rs72549401, gnomAD 0.03%). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 6589). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis (PMID: 9806540). -
