Genes affected
WRN (HGNC:12791): (WRN RecQ like helicase) This gene encodes a member of the RecQ subfamily of DNA helicase proteins. The encoded nuclear protein is important in the maintenance of genome stability and plays a role in DNA repair, replication, transcription and telomere maintenance. This protein contains a N-terminal 3' to 5' exonuclease domain, an ATP-dependent helicase domain and RQC (RecQ helicase conserved region) domain in its central region, and a C-terminal HRDC (helicase RNase D C-terminal) domain and nuclear localization signal. Defects in this gene are the cause of Werner syndrome, an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by accelerated aging and an elevated risk for certain cancers. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2017]

Variant summary: WRN c.3946A>G (p.Ile1316Val) results in a conservative amino acid change located in the Helicase Helix-turn-helix domain (IPR029491) of 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 5.8e-05 in 1613982 control chromosomes in the gnomAD database, including three homozygotes. This frequency is not significantly higher than estimated for a pathogenic variant in WRN causing Werner Syndrome (5.8e-05 vs 0.0025), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. However, the presence of three homozygotes is suggestive of a benign role for this variant, and at least one homozygote is 55-60 years old, which exceeds the average age of death (54 years) for individuals with Werner syndrome (GeneReviews). c.3946A>G has been reported in the literature in at least one individual referred for sequencing of loci associated with dyslipidemia and related metabolic traits, but with no clear diagnosis provided (e.g. Dron_2020). This report does not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Werner Syndrome. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publication has been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 32041611). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 573335). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as VUS-possibly benign.

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces isoleucine, which is neutral and non-polar, with valine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 1316 of the WRN protein (p.Ile1316Val). This variant is present in population databases (rs750389299, gnomAD 0.1%), including at least one homozygous and/or hemizygous individual. This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with WRN-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 573335). An algorithm developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (PolyPhen-2) suggests that this variant is likely to be disruptive. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance.
