Genes affected
BBS2 (HGNC:967): (Bardet-Biedl syndrome 2) This gene is a member of the Bardet-Biedl syndrome (BBS) gene family. Bardet-Biedl syndrome is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by severe pigmentary retinopathy, obesity, polydactyly, renal malformation and cognitive disability. The proteins encoded by BBS gene family members are structurally diverse and the similar phenotypes exhibited by mutations in BBS gene family members is likely due to their shared roles in cilia formation and function. Many BBS proteins localize to the basal bodies, ciliary axonemes, and pericentriolar regions of cells. BBS proteins may also be involved in intracellular trafficking via microtubule-related transport. The protein encoded by this gene forms a multiprotein BBSome complex with seven other BBS proteins.[provided by RefSeq, Oct 2014]

This gene is a member of the Bardet-Biedl syndrome (BBS) gene family. Bardet-Biedl syndrome is a rare, autosomal recessive inherited, genetic syndrome, which involves multiple systems with diverse clinical manifestations, high disability rate and poor prognosis characterized by severe pigmentary retinopathy, obesity, polydactyly, renal malformation and cognitive disability. However, in this study, not only the proband who was homozygous mutation carriers showed typical retinitis pigmentation, polydactylism, obesity, bicornuate uterus, left renal dysplasia, hypogonadism and progressive renal dysfunction, but also those heterozygous mutation carriers in the family, manifests unequal development of both kidneys, gonadal hypoplasia and dilated cardiomyopathy, which were intermediate traits. Sequencing of the RT-PCR products from the proband’s blood sample reveals a 824-nucleotide (nt) insertion exists at the junction between exons 4 and 5 of the BBS2 cDNA. -

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

The variant is observed at an extremely low frequency in the gnomAD v2.1.1 dataset (total allele frequency: 0.010%). Canonical splice site: predicted to alter splicing and result in a loss or disruption of normal protein function. Multiple pathogenic loss-of-function variants are reported downstream of the variant. The variant has been reported at least twice as pathogenic with clinical assertions and evidence for the classification (ClinVar ID: VCV000553927). Therefore, this variant is classified as pathogenic according to the recommendation of ACMG/AMP guideline. -

Department of Pediatrics, National Cheng-Kung University Hospital
Significance: Pathogenic
Review Status: no assertion criteria provided
Collection Method: clinical testing

The c.534+1 G>T variant in BBS2 has been previously reported in BBS2 patients in several studies investigating syndromic ciliopathy. The variant was found in several of our patients with obesity, visual impairment, polydactyly, and renal disease, which are compatible with the BBS2 phenotype. Until now, there has not been an in vitro functional study to indicate the variant’s pathogenicity. However, it is a splice site mutation predicted to cause exon skipping, and multiple computational predictive software support its pathogenicity. In summary, the c.534+1 G>T variant in BBS2 meets the criteria of ACMG/AMP guidelines to be classified as pathogenic based on the clinical information. -

Bardet-Biedl syndrome Pathogenic:1
Jun 03, 2024
Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp
Significance: Pathogenic
Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change affects a donor splice site in intron 4 of the BBS2 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 BBS2 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 11285252, 20177705, 24608809, 26518167). This variant is present in population databases (rs773862084, gnomAD 0.1%). Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individual(s) with Bardet-Biedl syndrome (Invitae). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 553927). 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. -
