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 made for transcript

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 22 ACMG points.

PVS1
Splicing 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.
PM2
Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage;
PP3
Splicing scoreres supports a deletorius effect: Scorers claiming Pathogenic: dbscSNV1_ADA, dbscSNV1_RF, max_spliceai. No scorers claiming Uncertain. No scorers claiming Benign.
PP5

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeDec 14, 2023This sequence change affects an acceptor splice site in intron 28 of the WRN gene. RNA analysis indicates that disruption of this splice site induces altered splicing and may result in an absent or disrupted protein product. This variant is present in population databases (rs776963381, gnomAD 0.004%). Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individual(s) with breast cancer (PMID: 26689913). This variant is also known as e28-1G>A. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 458446). Studies have shown that disruption of this splice site results in skipping of exon 29 and introduces a premature termination codon (Invitae). The resulting mRNA is expected to undergo nonsense-mediated decay. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
