Genes affected

WWOX (HGNC:12799): (WW domain containing oxidoreductase) This gene encodes a member of the short-chain dehydrogenases/reductases (SDR) protein family. This gene spans the FRA16D common chromosomal fragile site and appears to function as a tumor suppressor gene. Expression of the encoded protein is able to induce apoptosis, while defects in this gene are associated with multiple types of cancer. Disruption of this gene is also associated with autosomal recessive spinocerebellar ataxia 12. Disruption of a similar gene in mouse results in impaired steroidogenesis, additionally suggesting a metabolic function for the protein. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

ACMG classification

Our verdict: Pathogenic. The variant received 12 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Splicing +-2 bp (donor or acceptor) variant, product NOT destroyed by NMD, known LOF gene, truncates exone, which is 0.1493976 fraction of the gene. Cryptic splice site detected, with MaxEntScore 5, offset of 29, new splice context is: tgtgcttgtgtgcaacgcAGcaa. Cryptic site results in frameshift change. If cryptic site found is not functional and variant results in exon loss, it results in inframe change.
• PP5: Variant 16-78424869-G-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr16-78424869-G-A is described in ClinVar as Pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 183303.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.
