Description
The heterozygous c.1432+5G>A variant in WT1 was identified by our study in one individual with steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome. Trio exome analysis revealed this variant to be de novo. The c.1432+5G>A variant in WT1 has been reported in 19 unrelated individuals with WT1 disorder (PMID: 23295293, PMID: 27719739, PMID: 21499692, PMID: 22099579, PMID: 24856380, PMID: 10762296, PMID: 20442690, PMID: 9499425, PMID: 1302008). This variant was found to be de novo in 13 individuals with confirmed paternity and maternity (PMID: 28204945, PMID: 28780565, PMID: 23515051, PMID: 21499692, PMID: 17694336, PMID: 10762296, PMID: 9499425, PMID: 1302008). This variant is assumed de novo in 10 individuals, but maternity and paternity have not been confirmed (PMID: 23295293, PMID: 27719739, PMID: 28204945, PMID: 22099579, PMID: 24856380, PMID: 9499425). This variant has also been reported in ClinVar (Variation ID: 3493) and has been interpreted as pathogenic by multiple submitters. Multiple variants in the same region as the c.1432+5G>A variant have been reported in association with disease, suggesting that this variant is in a hot spot and slightly supports pathogenicity (PMID: 9499425). This variant was absent from large population studies. The number of reported affected individuals with this variant is greater than expected compared to non-affected individuals with this variant. RT-PCR analysis performed on affected tissue shows this variant results in altered splicing of WT1, leading to an altered ratio of the +/- KTS isoforms (PMID: 17694336, PMID: 9499425, PMID: 1302008). In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for autosomal dominant WT1 disorder. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: PS2_VeryStrong, PS3_Moderate, PS4, PM1_Supporting, PM2_Supporting (Richards 2015).
