Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp RCV001906651 SCV002168926 uncertain significance Werner syndrome 2020-11-11 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing This sequence change replaces glutamic acid with glutamine at codon 242 of the WRN protein (p.Glu242Gln). The glutamic acid residue is weakly conserved and there is a small physicochemical difference between glutamic acid and glutamine. RNA analysis indicates that this variant induces altered splicing and may result in an absent or disrupted protein product. This variant is present in population databases (rs769959338, ExAC no frequency). 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. Nucleotide substitutions within the consensus splice site are a relatively common cause of aberrant splicing (PMID: 17576681, 9536098). Studies have shown that this variant is associated with skipping of exon 7, which introduces a frameshift (PMID: 27667302). The resulting mRNA is expected to undergo nonsense-mediated decay. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function are either unavailable or do not agree on the potential impact of this missense change (SIFT: "Not Available"; PolyPhen-2: "Benign"; Align-GVGD: "Not Available"). This variant has been observed homozygous in an individual with clinical features of Werner syndrome (PMID: 27667302).
