However, it is currently unclear if variants that occur in this region of the gene cause disease. The frequency data for this variant in the population databases is considered unreliable, as metrics indicate insufficient coverage at this position in the ExAC database. This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with WT1-related conditions. 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. Downstream of the non-canonical translation start site (CTG) at codon 1, the nearest methionine codon that can be used to initiate translation of the WT1 protein lies at codon 69. This downstream in-frame ATG is known as a major initiation site (PMID: 28811308, 16987884, 8621495). The functional significance of the different WT1 protein isoforms is unknown (PMID: 8621495), however mice lacking the N-terminal 68 amino acids develop normally and are fertile (PMID: 12640141). Based on these results, the impact of this variant on WT1 protein function is uncertain. |
