Genes affected
WDR73 (HGNC:25928): (WD repeat domain 73) The protein encoded by this gene is thought to contain multiple WD40 repeats. WD40 repeats are motifs that contain 40-60 amino acids, and usually end with Trp-Asp (WD). This protein is found in the cytoplasm during interphase, but accumulates at the spindle poles and astral microtubules during mitosis. Reduced expression of this gene results in abnormalities in the size and morphology of the nucleus. Mutations in this gene have been associated with Galloway-Mowat syndrome PMID: 25466283), which is a rare autosomal recessive disorder that affects both the central nervous system and kidneys. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2015]

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingGeneDxDec 16, 2022Frameshift variant predicted to result in protein truncation, as the last 83 amino acids are replaced with 25 different amino acids, and other loss-of-function variants have been reported downstream in the Human Gene Mutation Database (HGMD); Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 28720660, 30008475, 31028937, 26070982, 24077912) -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLabcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), LabcorpAug 04, 2023This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Phe296Leufs*26) in the WDR73 gene. While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the last 83 amino acid(s) of the WDR73 protein. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individuals with autosomal recessive Galloway-Mowat syndrome in this population (PMID: 26070982). It is commonly reported in individuals of Amish ancestry (PMID: 26070982). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 225244). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of variants on protein structure and function are not available or were not evaluated for this variant. Experimental studies have shown that this premature translational stop signal affects WDR73 function (PMID: 26070982). This variant disrupts the C-terminus of the WDR73 protein. Other variant(s) that disrupt this region (p.Gln314*) have been observed in individuals with WDR73-related conditions (PMID: 26123727). This suggests that this may be a clinically significant region of the protein. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingPreventionGenetics, part of Exact SciencesJun 09, 2023The WDR73 c.888delT variant is predicted to result in a frameshift and premature protein termination (p.Phe296Leufs*26). This variant has been reported to be causative for Galloway-Mowat syndrome (Jinks et al. PubMed ID: 26070982; Thiffault et al. 2018. PubMed ID: 30008475). This variant has not been reported in a large population database (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org), indicating this variant is rare. Frameshift variants in WDR73 are expected to be pathogenic. This variant is interpreted as pathogenic. -
