Bardet-Biedl syndrome 2 Pathogenic:7
NM_031885.3(BBS2):c.534+1G>T is a canonical splice variant classified as pathogenic in the context of Bardet-Biedl syndrome, BBS2-related. c.534+1G>T has been observed in cases with relevant disease (PMID: 24280758, 33520300, 33777945). Functional assessments of this variant are not available in the literature. c.534+1G>T has been observed in population frequency databases (gnomAD: EAS 0.14%). In summary, NM_031885.3(BBS2):c.534+1G>T is a canonical splice variant that has been observed more frequently in cases with the relevant disease than in healthy populations. Please note: this variant was assessed in the context of healthy population screening. -

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. -
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. -
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. -

Variant is predicted to cause nonsense-mediated decay in a gene where LOF is a known cause of pathogenicity (PVS1). Homozygous allele count in gnomAD genomes or exomes are less than 0 (PM2). -

Bardet-Biedl syndrome Pathogenic:1
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. -
