Genes affected

WDR45 (HGNC:28912): (WD repeat domain 45) This gene encodes a member of the WD repeat protein family. WD repeats are minimally conserved regions of approximately 40 amino acids typically bracketed by gly-his and trp-asp (GH-WD), which may facilitate formation of heterotrimeric or multiprotein complexes. Members of this family are involved in a variety of cellular processes, including cell cycle progression, signal transduction, apoptosis, and gene regulation. This gene has a pseudogene at chromosome 4q31.3. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been found for this gene, but the biological validity and full-length nature of some variants have not been determined.

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product undergoes nonsense mediated mRNA decay. LoF is a known mechanism of disease.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant X-49076469-G-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chrX-49076469-G-A is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 212592.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars. Variant chrX-49076469-G-A is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	research	Laboratory of Human Genetics, Universidade de São Paulo	Mar 16, 2022	This variant meets our criteria to be classified as pathogenic based upon segregation studies, absence from controls, and in-silico evaluation of pathogenicity. This variant was disclosed in a girl presenting with intellectual disability and X-chromosome inactivation skewing. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp	Apr 26, 2023	This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with neurodegeneration with brain iron accumulation (NBIA), epileptic spasms and developmental delay, and West syndrome (PMID: 23176820, 25744623, 26609730, 27030146). In at least one individual the variant was observed to be de novo. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 212592). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg134*) in the WDR45 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in WDR45 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 23176820, 24368176, 24621584, 25744623, 26790960, 27030146, 27652284, 28554332). -
