Variant summary

Our verdict is Uncertain significance. Variant got 2 ACMG points: 4P and 2B. PM2 PM5 BP4_Moderate

The NM_000553.6(WRN):​c.1124A>C​(p.Glu375Ala) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000372 in 1,613,952 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. 13/21 in silico tools predict a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. E375Q) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

Genes affected

WRN (HGNC:12791): (WRN RecQ like helicase) This gene encodes a member of the RecQ subfamily of DNA helicase proteins. The encoded nuclear protein is important in the maintenance of genome stability and plays a role in DNA repair, replication, transcription and telomere maintenance. This protein contains a N-terminal 3' to 5' exonuclease domain, an ATP-dependent helicase domain and RQC (RecQ helicase conserved region) domain in its central region, and a C-terminal HRDC (helicase RNase D C-terminal) domain and nuclear localization signal. Defects in this gene are the cause of Werner syndrome, an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by accelerated aging and an elevated risk for certain cancers. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2017]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Uncertain_significance. Variant got 2 ACMG points.

• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PM5: Other missense variant is known to change same aminoacid residue: Variant chr8-31081149-TGA-TC is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].
• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (MetaRNN=0.14411452).

This sequence change replaces glutamic acid with alanine at codon 375 of the WRN protein (p.Glu375Ala). The glutamic acid residue is moderately conserved and there is a moderate physicochemical difference between glutamic acid and alanine. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency) and has not been reported in the literature in individuals with a WRN-related disease. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 458377). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (SIFT, PolyPhen-2, Align-GVGD) all suggest that this variant is likely to be tolerated, but these predictions have not been confirmed by published functional studies. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
