Genes affected
TTC21B (HGNC:25660): (tetratricopeptide repeat domain 21B) This gene encodes a member of TTC21 family, containing several tetratricopeptide repeat (TPR) domains. This protein is localized to the cilium axoneme, and may play a role in retrograde intraflagellar transport in cilia. Mutations in this gene are associated with various ciliopathies, nephronophthisis 12, and asphyxiating thoracic dystrophy 4. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2011]

ACMG classification

Classification was made for transcript

Our verdict: Pathogenic. The variant received 10 ACMG points.

PVS1
Splicing +-2 bp (donor or acceptor) variant, product NOT destroyed by NMD, known LOF gene, truncates exone, which is 0.028094154 fraction of the gene. Cryptic splice site detected, with MaxEntScore 7.2, offset of -31, new splice context is: tgactttttattctatacAGtgt. 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 2-165899882-T-C is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr2-165899882-T-C is described in ClinVar as Pathogenic/Likely_pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 30937.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

This sequence change affects an acceptor splice site in intron 20 of the TTC21B gene. It is expected to disrupt RNA splicing. Variants that disrupt the donor or acceptor splice site typically lead to a loss of protein function (PMID: 16199547), and loss-of-function variants in TTC21B are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 18327258, 21068128, 21258341, 23559409, 24876116, 25492405, 27491411, 29068549). This variant is present in population databases (rs766132877, gnomAD 0.005%). Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individual(s) with nephronophthisis (PMID: 21258341). 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: 30937). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
