Genes affected
ATP7B (HGNC:870): (ATPase copper transporting beta) This gene is a member of the P-type cation transport ATPase family and encodes a protein with several membrane-spanning domains, an ATPase consensus sequence, a hinge domain, a phosphorylation site, and at least 2 putative copper-binding sites. This protein is a monomer, and functions as a copper-transporting ATPase which exports copper out of the cells, such as the efflux of hepatic copper into the bile. Alternate transcriptional splice variants, encoding different isoforms with distinct cellular localizations, have been characterized. Mutations in this gene have been associated with Wilson disease which is characterized by copper accumulation. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2019]

Wilson disease Pathogenic:5Uncertain:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeDec 30, 2023This sequence change falls in intron 6 of the ATP7B gene. It does not directly change the encoded amino acid sequence of the ATP7B protein. RNA analysis indicates that this variant induces altered splicing and likely results in a shortened protein product. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This variant has been observed in individual(s) with Wilson disease (PMID: 22019423). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 495403). Variants that disrupt the consensus splice site are a relatively common cause of aberrant splicing (PMID: 17576681, 9536098). Studies have shown that this variant results in skipping of exons 6-8, but is expected to preserve the integrity of the reading-frame (PMID: 22019423). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAll of Us Research Program, National Institutes of HealthNov 20, 2023This variant causes a T to C nucleotide substitution at the +6 position of intron 6 of the ATP7B gene. This variant has been observed in individuals affected with autosomal recessive Wilson disease (PMID: 22019423, 22677543, 34400371). One of these individuals has been reported to be homozygous for this variant (PMID: 22019423). An RNA study using cells derived from the homozygous individual has shown that the mutant allele does not lead to the production of full-length transcript but produces an aberrant transcript lacking exons 6, 7, and 8 (PMID: 22019423). This aberrant transcript has also been seen in heterozygous and wild-type samples (PMID: 7726170, 7833924, 9307043, 22019423) and is expected to result in an in-frame deletion of amino acid residues a.a. 624-785, which encode transmembrane domains of the ATP7B protein. A 3837 base-pair deletion that spans exon 6 through 8 was reported in an individual affected with Wilson disease who carried a second pathogenic variant in trans, c.3800A>C (p.Asp1267Ala) (PMID: 21707886). Many pathogenic missense substitution variants have been reported in the impacted region of the gene (ClinVar), indicating that the c.1946+6T>C variant disrupts a functionally important part of the ATP7B gene. This variant, c.1946+6T>C, has been identified in 1/249578 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Loss of ATP7B function is a known mechanism of disease (clinicalgenome.org). Based on the available evidence, this variant is classified as Pathogenic. -

Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpNov 28, 2016Variant summary: The ATP7B c.1946+6T>C variant involves the alteration of a conserved intronic nucleotide. 3/5 splice prediction tools via Alamut suggest potential impact on a normal splicing pattern, which was confirmed by the RNA studies performed on RNA extracted from peripheral lymphoblasts and liver cells from a homozygous pt. Based on the results, c.1946+6T>C leads to an alternative transcript that is lacking exons 6,7,8 (Zappu_MCP_2012). The variant is present in the large control population dataset of ExAC at a very low frequency 0.0000084 (1/120708 chrs tested), which does not exceed the estimated maximal expected allele frequency of a pathogenic variant in ATP7B gene (0.0054). The variant of interest has been reported in affected individuals with clinically and biochemically confirmed dx of WD via published reports. Taken together, this variant is classified as Likely Pathogenic. -
