Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 22 ACMG points: 22P and 0B. PVS1PS3PM2PP5_Very_Strong

The NM_000553.6(WRN):​c.3384-1G>A variant causes a splice acceptor, intron change. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0000118 in 1,609,188 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. 3/3 splice prediction tools predicting alterations to normal splicing. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Likely pathogenic (★★). ClinVar reports functional evidence for this variant: "SCV000629682: Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individual(s) with breast cancer (PMID:26689913). Studies have shown that disruption of this splice site results in skipping of exon 29, and produces a non-functional protein and/or introduces a premature termination codon (Invitae).".

Genes affected
WRN (HGNC:12791): (WRN RecQ like helicase) This gene encodes a member of the RecQ subfamily of DNA helicase proteins. The encoded nuclear protein is important in the maintenance of genome stability and plays a role in DNA repair, replication, transcription and telomere maintenance. This protein contains a N-terminal 3' to 5' exonuclease domain, an ATP-dependent helicase domain and RQC (RecQ helicase conserved region) domain in its central region, and a C-terminal HRDC (helicase RNase D C-terminal) domain and nuclear localization signal. Defects in this gene are the cause of Werner syndrome, an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by accelerated aging and an elevated risk for certain cancers. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2017]

ACMG classification

Classification was made for transcript

Our verdict: Pathogenic. The variant received 22 ACMG points.

PVS1
Splicing +-2 bp (donor or acceptor) variant, LoF is a know mechanism of disease, Cryptic splice site detected, with MaxEntScore 3.5, offset of 13, new splice context is: attttaatatcatggtacAGtca. Cryptic site results in frameshift change. If cryptic site found is not functional and variant results in exon loss, it results in frameshift change.
PS3
PS3 evidence extracted from ClinVar submissions: SCV000629682: Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individual(s) with breast cancer (PMID: 26689913). Studies have shown that disruption of this splice site results in skipping of exon 29, and produces a non-functional protein and/or introduces a premature termination codon (Invitae).
PM2
Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage;
PP5
Variant 8-31147052-G-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr8-31147052-G-A is described in ClinVar as Pathogenic/Likely_pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 458446.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.
