RCV000778720 | SCV000915076 | uncertain significance | Bardet-Biedl syndrome 12 | 2018-11-14 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | The BBS12 c.1100dupA (p.Tyr367Ter) variant is a stop-gained variant, which was observed by ICSL as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. It had not been previously curated by ICSL or reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database (HGMD: prior to June 1st, 2018) and was therefore a candidate for classification through an automated scoring system. Utilizing variant allele frequency, disease prevalence and penetrance estimates, and inheritance mode, an automated score was calculated to assess if this variant is too frequent to cause the disease. Based on the score for this variant, it could not be ruled out of causing disease and therefore its association with disease required further investigation. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change. No publications were found based on this search. This variant is located in the last exon and may escape nonsense-mediated decay. Due to the potential impact of stop-gained variants and the lack of clarifying evidence, this variant is classified as a variant of unknown significance but suspicious for pathogenicity for Bardet-Biedl syndrome. |
