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]

Bardet-Biedl syndrome 2

Pathogenic:5

Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Illumina Laboratory Services, Illumina	Jan 09, 2019	The BBS2 c.1438C>T (p.Arg480Ter) variant is a stop gained variant which has been reported in at least five studies in which it is found in a total of four probands with Bardet-Biedl syndrome, including one in a homozygous state and three in a compound heterozygous state (Ansley et al. 2003; Janssen et al. 2011; Xing et al. 2014; Hirano et al. 2015; Olson et al. 2019). The homozygous individual and their unaffected father also carried two variants in cis in the BBS9 gene (Xing et al. 2014). In all families, the variant was identified in at least one unaffected parent in a heterozygous state. The variant was absent from 396 controls but is reported at a frequency of 0.00012 in the East Asian population of the Exome Aggregation Consortium. However, the frequency data are based on one allele, so the variant is presumed to be rare. Due to the potential impact of stop-gained variants and the supporting evidence, the p.Arg480Ter variant is classified as likely pathogenic for Bardet-Biedl syndrome. This variant was observed by ICSL as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Rady Children's Institute for Genomic Medicine, Rady Children's Hospital San Diego	Oct 23, 2019	This nonsense variant found in exon 12 of 17 is predicted to result in loss of normal protein function. This variant has been previously reported as a compound heterozygous or homozygous change in patients with Bardet-Biedl Syndrome, including thoraco-abdominal abnormalities and congenital heart defects (PMID: 21052717, 24608809, 26325687, 30293640). It is present in the heterozygous state in the gnomAD population database at a frequency of 0.0024% (6/251,458) and thus is presumed to be rare. Based on the available evidence, the c.1438C>T (p.Arg480Ter) variant is classified as Pathogenic. -

Pathogenic:2

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp	Sep 19, 2019	Variant summary: BBS2 c.1438C>T (p.Arg480X) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. Truncations downstream of this position have been classified as pathogenic by our laboratory. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 2.4e-05 in 251458 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.1438C>T has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Bardet-Biedl Syndrome (Hirano_2015, Janssen_2011, Xing_2014). These data indicate that the variant is likely to be associated with disease. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Three ClinVar submissions (evaluation after 2014) cite the variant twice as pathogenic and once as likely pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp	Dec 13, 2023	This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg480*) in the BBS2 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in BBS2 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 11285252, 20177705, 24608809, 26518167). This variant is present in population databases (rs778090540, gnomAD 0.006%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individuals with Bardet-Biedl syndrome (PMID: 21052717, 24608809). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 553353). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
