Invitae RCV003015037 SCV003321023 likely pathogenic Werner syndrome 2023-06-30 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing This sequence change falls in intron 7 of the WRN gene. It does not directly change the encoded amino acid sequence of the WRN protein. RNA analysis indicates that this variant induces altered splicing and may result in an absent or disrupted protein product. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with WRN-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 2105913). Studies have shown that this variant results in activation of a cryptic splice site and introduces a premature termination codon (Invitae). The resulting mRNA is expected to undergo nonsense-mediated decay. In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic.
