RCV001961560 | SCV002250524 | likely pathogenic | Short-rib thoracic dysplasia 10 with or without polydactyly; Retinitis pigmentosa 71 | 2021-03-29 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | This sequence change affects a donor splice site in intron 23 of the IFT172 gene. It is expected to disrupt RNA splicing. Variants that disrupt the donor or acceptor splice site typically lead to a loss of protein function (PMID: 16199547), and loss-of-function variants in IFT172 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 24140113). This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with IFT172-related conditions. 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 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. |
