Invitae RCV001295877 SCV001484828 uncertain significance Joubert syndrome 14 2021-07-19 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing This sequence change falls in intron 9 of the TMEM237 gene. It does not directly change the encoded amino acid sequence of the TMEM237 protein, but it affects a nucleotide within the consensus splice site of the intron. This variant is present in population databases (rs771107990, ExAC 0.004%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with TMEM237-related conditions. 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, but this prediction has not been confirmed by published transcriptional studies. 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.
