Genes affected

WDR19 (HGNC:18340): (WD repeat domain 19) The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the WD (tryptophan-aspartic acid) repeat family, which is a large family of structurally-related proteins known to participate in a wide range of cellular processes. Each WD repeat typically contains about 40 amino acids that are usually bracketed by glycine-histidine and tryptophan-aspartic acid (WD) dipeptides. This protein contains six WD repeats, three transmembrane domains, and a clathrin heavy-chain repeat. Mutations in this gene have been described in individuals with a wide range of disorders affecting function of the cilium. These disorders are known as ciliopathies, and include Jeune syndrome, Sensenbrenner syndromes, Senior-Loken syndrome, combined or isolated nephronophthisis (NPHP), and retinitis pigmentosa (RP). Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2015]

Collection Method:clinical testing

The p.Thr261AsnfsX13 variant in WDR19 has been reported in the compound heterozygous state with another WDR19 variant in at least 2 individuals with clinical features of WDR19-associated ciliopathies (including asphyxiating thoracic dystrophy and/or nephronophthisis). It was also reported in the heterozygous state in 3 individuals with clinical features consistent with WDR-19 associated ciliopathies where a second variant was not identified (Halbritter 2013 PMID: 23559409, Coussa 2013 PMID: 23683095, Meng 2017 PMID: 28973083, Zhang 2018 PMID: 29068549, Liu 2019 PMID: 31216405). This variant has been reported by other clinical laboratories in ClinVar (Variation ID 446634) and has been identified in 0.007% (3/41448) of African chromosomes by gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org, v.3.1.2), at a frequency low enough to be consistent with a recessive carrier frequency. This variant is predicted to cause a frameshift, which alters the protein’s amino acid sequence beginning at position 261 and leads to a premature termination codon 13 amino acids downstream. This alteration is then predicted to lead to a truncated or absent protein. Loss of function variants in WDR19 gene have been reported in individuals with autosomal recessive ciliopathies (Bredrup 2011 PMID: 22019273, Zhang 2018 PMID: 29068549). In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for autosomal recessive WDR19-associated ciliopathies. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: PVS1, PM3, PM2_Supporting. -

Rady Children's Institute for Genomic Medicine, Rady Children's Hospital San Diego

Significance:Pathogenic

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

This frameshifting variant in exon 9 of 37 is predicted to result in loss of normal protein function through either protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. Loss-of-function variation in WDR19 is an established mechanism of disease (PMID: 22019273). This variant has been previously reported as a compound heterozygous change in patients with WDR19-related disorders (PMID: 29068549, 28973083). The c.781dup (p.Thr261AsnfsTer13) variant is present in the heterozygous state in the gnomAD population database at a frequency of 0.004% (10/279452), and is absent in the homozygous state, thus is presumed to be rare. Based on the available evidence, c.781dup (p.Thr261AsnfsTer13) is classified as Pathogenic. -

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Thr261Asnfs*13) in the WDR19 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in WDR19 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 22019273, 23559409, 23683095, 26275793, 27241786, 29068549). This variant is present in population databases (rs748656635, gnomAD 0.008%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with asphyxiating thoracic dystrophy (PMID: 28973083, 29068549). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 446634). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
