Genes affected

BBS7 (HGNC:18758): (Bardet-Biedl syndrome 7) This gene encodes one of eight proteins that form the BBSome complex containing BBS1, BBS2, BBS4, BBS5, BBS7, BBS8, BBS9 and BBIP10. The BBSome complex is believed to recruit Rab8(GTP) to the primary cilium and promote ciliogenesis. The BBSome complex assembly is mediated by a complex composed of three chaperonin-like BBS proteins (BBS6, BBS10, and BBS12) and CCT/TRiC family chaperonins. Mutations in this gene are implicated in Bardet-Biedl syndrome, a genetic disorder whose symptoms include obesity, retinal degeneration, polydactyly and nephropathy; however, mutations in this gene and the BBS8 gene are thought to play a minor role and mutations in chaperonin-like BBS genes are found to be a major contributor to disease development in a multiethnic Bardet-Biedl syndrome patient population. Two transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been identified for this gene.[provided by RefSeq, Oct 2014]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 12 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product does not undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. Variant is located in the 3'-most 50 bp of the penultimate exon, not predicted to undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. Fraction of 0.0754 CDS is truncated, and there are 0 pathogenic variants in the truncated region.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 4-121828172-TGC-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr4-121828172-TGC-A is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 216137.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

BBS7-related disorder Pathogenic:1

Aug 05, 2024

PreventionGenetics, part of Exact Sciences

Significance: Likely pathogenic

Review Status: no assertion criteria provided

Collection Method: clinical testing

The BBS7 c.1986_1988delinsT variant is predicted to result in a frameshift and premature protein termination (p.Lys662Asnfs*6). To our knowledge, this variant has not been reported in the literature or in a large population database, indicating this variant is rare. Frameshift variants in BBS7 are expected to be pathogenic. This variant is interpreted as likely pathogenic. -

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. While this particular variant has not been reported in the literature, truncating variants in BBS7 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 21209035, 20177705). This sequence change deletes 3 nucleotides and inserts 1 nucleotide in exon 18 of the BBS7 mRNA (c.1986_1988delGCAinsT), causing a frameshift at codon 662. This creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Lys662Asnfs*6) and is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. -
