RCV001981020 | SCV002282842 | uncertain significance | X-linked severe congenital neutropenia; Thrombocytopenia 1; Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome | 2020-12-09 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | 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. This sequence change disrupts the translational stop signal of the WAS mRNA. It is expected to extend the length of the WAS protein by an uncertain number of additional amino acid residues. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with WAS-related conditions. Experimental studies and prediction algorithms are not available or were not evaluated, and the functional significance of this variant is currently unknown. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may create or strengthen a splice site, but this prediction has not been confirmed by published transcriptional studies. This variant results in an extension of the WAS protein. Other variant(s) that result in a similarly extended protein product (p.*503Trpext*?) have been observed in individuals with WAS-related conditions (PMID: 8528198). This suggests that these extensions may be clinically significant. |
