Genes affected
BBS12 (HGNC:26648): (Bardet-Biedl syndrome 12) The protein encoded by this gene is part of a complex that is involved in membrane trafficking. The encoded protein is a molecular chaperone that aids in protein folding upon ATP hydrolysis. This protein also plays a role in adipocyte differentiation. Defects in this gene are a cause of Bardet-Biedl syndrome type 12. Two transcript variants encoding the same protein have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, May 2010]

Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingIllumina Laboratory Services, IlluminaApr 28, 2017The BBS12 c.2023C>T (p.Arg675Ter) stop-gained variant has been reported in two studies in a total of three individuals, either with Bardet-Biedl syndrome (BBS) or suspected to have BBS, in a compound heterozygous state (Dulfer et al. 2010; Chen et al. 2011). Of these individuals, two were siblings who also had a heterozygous frameshift variant in the BBS10 gene. In this family, the father was heterozygous for the BBS12 p.Arg675Ter variant and the mother was heterozygous for the other variants. The other individual who had the p.Arg675Ter variant in a compound heterozygous state also had a heterozygous missense variant in the BBS1 gene. The p.Arg675Ter variant was absent from 288 controls but is reported at a frequency of 0.00002 in the European (non-Finnish) population of the Exome Aggregation Consortium, however this is based on one allele in a region of good sequence coverage so the variant is presumed to be rare. Based on the evidence and due to potential impact of stop-gained variants, the p.Arg675Ter variant is classified as likely pathogenic for Bardet-Biedl syndrome. This variant was observed by ICSL as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. -

Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingNeuberg Centre For Genomic Medicine, NCGM-The stop gain variant c.2023C>T (p.Arg675Ter) in the BBS12 gene has been reported previously in a compound heterozygous state in patients affected with Bardet–Biedl Syndrome. Two of the patients also had a heterozygous frameshift variant in the BBS10 gene along with the BBS12 variants (Dulfer E. et al., 2010). This variant is reported with the allele frequency (0.0008%) in the gnomAD Exomes and novel in 1000 genome database. This variant is predicted to cause loss of normal protein function through protein truncation. Loss of function variants have been previously reported to be disease causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeJan 31, 2024This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg675*) in the BBS12 gene. While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the last 36 amino acid(s) of the BBS12 protein. This variant is present in population databases (rs752202089, gnomAD 0.002%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with Bardet-Biedl syndrome (PMID: 20827784, 21642631). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 347505). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
BBS12-related disorder Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingPreventionGenetics, part of Exact SciencesJun 12, 2023The BBS12 c.2023C>T variant is predicted to result in premature protein termination (p.Arg675*). This variant has been reported to be causative for Bardet-Biedl syndrome (Dulfer. 2010. PubMed ID: 20827784; Mary et al. 2019. PubMed ID: 30614526). This variant is reported in 0.0018% of alleles in individuals of European (Non-Finnish) descent in gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/variant/4-123665070-C-T). Nonsense variants in BBS12 are expected to be pathogenic. This variant is interpreted as pathogenic. -
