Description

In 13 affected members of 8 Ashkenazi Jewish families with Joubert syndrome-2 (JBTS2; 608091), Edvardson et al. (2010) identified a homozygous 218G-T transversion in exon 4 of the TMEM216 gene, resulting in an arg73-to-leu (R73L) substitution in a conserved residue. This mutation was designated ARG12LEU by Edvardson et al. (2010). All of the parents and several unaffected relatives were heterozygous carriers of the mutation, indicating a carrier rate of 1 in 92 in this ethnic group. The phenotype was characterized by neonatal hypotonia, mental retardation, and posterior fossa abnormalities.

In affected members of 12 families with JBTS2, Valente et al. (2010) identified a homozygous 218G-T transversion in exon 4 of the TMEM216 gene, resulting in an arg73-to-leu (R73L) substitution. Two of the families were from Sicily, and 10 were of Ashkenazi Jewish origin. Haplotype analysis indicated a common founder that dated back at least 20 generations. The carrier frequency in the Ashkenazi Jewish population was determined to be 1 in 100. Two individuals with Joubert syndrome and the R73L mutation who had polydactyly also demonstrated tongue tumors or multiple oral frenula, respectively, reminiscent of orofaciodigital syndrome type VI (OFD6; 277170).

Description

Variant summary: The c.218G>T in TMEM216 gene is a missense variant that involves a non-conserved nucleotide and 5/5 in silico tools predict deleterious outcome. The variant is present in the broad control population dataset of ExAC at a low frequency, exclusively in European cohort (0.024%), which does not exceed the maximum frequency for a pathogenic variant in TMEM216 gene (0.39%), suggesting this variant is not a common polymorphism. The variant has been reported in multiple affected individuals presented with JBTS2. This variant is considered to be a founder mutation in individuals of Ashkenazi Jewish descent. The carrier frequency in the Ashkenazi population was reported to be about 1:100 (Valente et al., 2010). The variant of interest has been reported as Pathogenic by several reputable databases. Taking together, the variant was classified as Pathogenic.
