Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points: 18P and 0B. PVS1PM2PP5_Very_Strong
The NM_001134831.2(AHI1):āc.2495T>Gā(p.Leu832*) variant causes a stop gained, splice region change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000207 in 1,447,062 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. 1/1 splice prediction tools predict no significant impact on normal splicing. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Likely pathogenic (ā ā ). Variant results in nonsense mediated mRNA decay.
AHI1 (HGNC:21575): (Abelson helper integration site 1) This gene is apparently required for both cerebellar and cortical development in humans. This gene mutations cause specific forms of Joubert syndrome-related disorders. Joubert syndrome (JS) is a recessively inherited developmental brain disorder with several identified causative chromosomal loci. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2008]
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;

Variant summary: AHI1 c.2495T>G (p.Leu832X) 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 in ClinVar and are associated with Joubert syndrome in HGMD. The variant was absent in 231274 control chromosomes. c.2495T>G has been reported in the literature in at least one individual affected with Joubert Syndrome (e.g., Parisi_2006). To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. One ClinVar submitter (evaluation after 2014) has cited the variant and classified it as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely pathogenic. -
