Genes affected
WDR19 (HGNC:18340): (WD repeat domain 19) The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the WD (tryptophan-aspartic acid) repeat family, which is a large family of structurally-related proteins known to participate in a wide range of cellular processes. Each WD repeat typically contains about 40 amino acids that are usually bracketed by glycine-histidine and tryptophan-aspartic acid (WD) dipeptides. This protein contains six WD repeats, three transmembrane domains, and a clathrin heavy-chain repeat. Mutations in this gene have been described in individuals with a wide range of disorders affecting function of the cilium. These disorders are known as ciliopathies, and include Jeune syndrome, Sensenbrenner syndromes, Senior-Loken syndrome, combined or isolated nephronophthisis (NPHP), and retinitis pigmentosa (RP). Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2015]

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

The c.3533G>A (p.Arg1178Gln) variant affects a moderately conserved amino acid and in silico tools used to predict the effect of this variant on protein function yield discordant results. This variant has been previously reported as a compound heterozygous and homozygous change in patients with WDR19-related disorders (PMID: 23559409, 25726036, 28621010, 28973083, 29127259, 31844813, 32165824). The c.3533G>A (p.Arg1178Gln) variant is present in the heterozygous state in the gnomAD population database at a frequency of 0.006% (17/267854), and is absent in the homozygous state, thus is presumed to be rare. Based on the available evidence, c.3533G>A (p.Arg1178Gln) is classified as Pathogenic. -

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with glutamine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 1178 of the WDR19 protein (p.Arg1178Gln). This variant is present in population databases (rs79436363, gnomAD 0.03%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with nephronophthisis (PMID: 23559409, 25726036, 27596865, 28621010). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 127158). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) has been performed for this missense variant. However, the output from this modeling did not meet the statistical confidence thresholds required to predict the impact of this variant on WDR19 protein function. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
