Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp RCV000587645 SCV000699657 pathogenic Bardet-Biedl syndrome 2016-06-30 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing Variant summary: The c.311A>C (p.D104A) in BBS2 gene is a missense change that alters a conserved nucleotide and 5/5 in silico tools predict deleterious outcome. The variant was observed in the large and broad cohorts of the ExAC project at an allele frequency of 0.00005 exclusively in individuals of European descent (0.000075). This frequency does not exceed the maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in BBS2 gene (0.0008). Fedick (2014) reports the carrier frequency of 0.473% (0.0071%) for Jewish population. The variant of interest has been reported in multiple BBS pts in compound heterozygous state and in 2 homozygous individuals presented with nonsyndromic autosomal recessive RP (Shevach, 2014). Taking together, the variant was classified as Pathogenic.

Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp RCV000587645 SCV001224789 pathogenic Bardet-Biedl syndrome 2024-01-25 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing This sequence change replaces aspartic acid, which is acidic and polar, with alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 104 of the BBS2 protein (p.Asp104Ala). This variant is present in population databases (rs121908179, gnomAD 0.1%). This missense change has been observed in individuals with Bardet-Biedl syndrome (PMID: 11567139, 21344540, 21642631, 23829372). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 4577). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt BBS2 protein function with a positive predictive value of 80%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects BBS2 function (PMID: 20498079). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.

Broad Center for Mendelian Genomics, Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard RCV001002876 SCV001950217 pathogenic Retinitis pigmentosa 2021-04-01 criteria provided, single submitter curation The p.Asp104Ala variant in BBS2 was identified in an individual with Retinitis pigmentosa, via a collaborative study between the Broad Institute's Center for Mendelian Genomics and the Pierce lab (https://oculargenomics.meei.harvard.edu/labs/pierce-lab/lab-members/). Through a review of available evidence we were able to apply the following criteria: PS3, PM2, PM3, PP1, PP3. Based on this evidence we have classified this variant as Pathogenic. If you have any questions about the classification please reach out to the Pierce Lab.
Broad Center for Mendelian Genomics, Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard RCV000190985 SCV002507053 pathogenic Retinitis pigmentosa 74 2022-05-04 criteria provided, single submitter curation The heterozygous p.Asp104Ala variant in BBS2 was identified by our study, along with another pathogenic variant, in 1 individual with retinitis pigmentosa 74. The variant has been reported in at least 4 Ashkenazi Jewish individuals with retinitis pigmentosa 74 (PMID: 23829372), and has been identified in 0.1% (10/10080) of Ashkenazi Jewish and 0.0009% (1/113746) of European non-Finnish chromosomes by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org; dbSNP ID: rs121908179). Although this variant has been seen in the general population, its frequency is not high enough to rule out a pathogenic role. This variant has also been reported in ClinVar (Variation ID: 4577) as pathogenic by Integrated Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, Invitae, OMIM, and Sharon lab, Hadassah-Hebrew University Medical Center, and as likely pathogenic by Counsyl and Fulgent Genetics. Animal models in zebrafish have shown that this variant causes retinitis pigmentosa 74 (PMID: 20498079). Computational prediction tools and conservation analyses suggest that this variant may impact the protein, though this information is not predictive enough to determine pathogenicity. The presence of this variant in 2 affected homozygotes, in combination with a reported pathogenic variant, and in 4 individuals with retinitis pigmentosa 74 increases the likelihood that the p.Asp104Ala variant is pathogenic (VariationID: 4578; PMID: 23829372). In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for retinitis pigmentosa 74 in an autosomal recessive manner based on its disease-causing effect in an animal model, and its homozygous occurrence and occurrence with other pathogenic variants in trans in affected individuals. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: PS3, PM3_strong, PP3 (Richards 2015).

PreventionGenetics, part of Exact Sciences RCV004532290 SCV004766229 pathogenic BBS2-related disorder 2024-08-20 no assertion criteria provided clinical testing The BBS2 c.311A>C variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Asp104Ala. This sequence variant has been reported in multiple individuals with Bardet-Biedl syndrome 2, retinitis pigmentosa 74, and cone-rod dystrophy (Katsanis et al. 2001. PubMed ID: 11567139; Consugar et al 2015. PubMed ID: 25412400; Shevach et al 2015. PubMed ID: 25541840). This variant is reported in 0.099% of alleles in individuals of Ashkenazi Jewish descent in gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/variant/16-56548399-T-G). This variant is interpreted as pathogenic.
