RCV000550726 | SCV000657482 | likely pathogenic | Cornelia de Lange syndrome 1 | 2016-10-31 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | This variant is a gross deletion of the genomic region encompassing most of exons 37 to 39 of the NIPBL gene. The 5' breakpoint of this deletion is 3 nucleotides from the beginning of exon 37, and the 3' breakpoint is within intron 39. This deletion is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with a NIPBL-related disease. Multiple different missense substitutions (p.Leu2144Phe, p.Thr2146Pro, p.Leu2150Pro, p.Tyr2216Ser, p.Asn2236Ile) at codons within exons 37-39 have been classified as pathogenic (PMID: 17106445, 20358602, 15591270, 26701315, 24635725). This suggests that these residues are critical for NIPBL protein function, and that deletion of this region is deleterious. In summary, this is a novel deletion that eliminates important amino acid residues. This evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data is needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. |
