RCV001990648 | SCV002248426 | uncertain significance | Werner syndrome | 2021-07-01 | 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. Nucleotide substitutions within the consensus splice site are a relatively common cause of aberrant splicing (PMID: 17576681, 9536098). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. 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: "Possibly Damaging"; Align-GVGD: "Not Available"). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with WRN-related conditions. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This sequence change replaces lysine with asparagine at codon 32 of the WRN protein (p.Lys32Asn). The lysine residue is moderately conserved and there is a moderate physicochemical difference between lysine and asparagine. This variant also falls at the last nucleotide of exon 2, which is part of the consensus splice site for this exon. |
