Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp	RCV003074723	SCV003461082	uncertain significance	Cohen syndrome	2021-02-18	criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	This sequence change falls in intron 31 of the VPS13B gene. It does not directly change the encoded amino acid sequence of the VPS13B protein, but it affects a nucleotide within the consensus splice site of the intron. The frequency data for this variant in the population databases is considered unreliable, as metrics indicate poor data quality at this position in the ExAC database. This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with VPS13B-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 is not likely to affect RNA splicing, 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.
