Description

The c.2272-18C>A variant in VPS16 has been reported in homozygous form in 2 independent patients of Iranian and Turkish descent, respectively, presenting with progressive psychomotor regression, delayed myelination and mucopolysaccharidosis-like features. The variant is absent from large population databases and predicted to create a splice-acceptor site 16 bp upstream of exon 23 which competes with the normal splice site. This effect has been experimentally confirmed by analysis of cDNA obtained from blood leukocytes. Functional studies in patient-derived fibroblasts demonstrate that the effect on mRNA splicing leads to a ca. 85% reduction of wild type mRNA and VPS16 protein levels. Other HOPS/CORVET subunits, including VPS33A, are similarly reduced . In addition, patient-derived fibroblasts show signs of impaired endocytosis and autophagy as expected from the observed decreased levels of HOPS/CORVET complexes. All these anomalies are rescued upon lentiviral re-expression of VPS16 (Sofou 2021). Based on the above, the c.2272-18C>A variant meets the following ACMG criteria: PS3 and PM2 and consequently is classified as likely pathogenic.
