Variant 1:Gene:Genomic location:Target disease:Bardet-Biedl Syndrome(DOID_1935)Effect type:ExpressivityModifier effect:Risk factorEvidence:Gene activity studyEffect:The 430T allele enhances the use of a cryptic splice acceptor site, causing the introduction of a premature termination codon (PTC) and the reduction of steady-state MGC1203 messenger RNA levels.Reference:Title:Dissection of epistasis in oligogenic Bardet-Biedl syndrome.Species studied:HumanAbstract:Epistatic interactions have an important role in phenotypic variability, yet the genetic dissection of such phenomena remains challenging. Here we report the identification of a novel locus, MGC1203, that contributes epistatic alleles to Bardet-Biedl syndrome (BBS), a pleiotropic, oligogenic disorder. MGC1203 encodes a pericentriolar protein that interacts and colocalizes with the BBS proteins. Sequencing of two independent BBS cohorts revealed a significant enrichment of a heterozygous C430T mutation in patients, and a transmission disequilibrium test (TDT) showed strong over-transmission of this variant. Further analyses showed that the 430T allele enhances the use of a cryptic splice acceptor site, causing the introduction of a premature termination codon (PTC) and the reduction of steady-state MGC1203 messenger RNA levels. Finally, recapitulation of the human genotypes in zebrafish shows that modest suppression of mgc1203 exerts an epistatic effect on the developmental phenotype of BBS morphants. Our data demonstrate how the combined use of biochemical, genetic and in vivo tools can facilitate the dissection of epistatic phenomena, and enhance our appreciation of the genetic basis of phenotypic variability.

Variant 2:Gene:Genomic location:chr1:32669645dbSNP ID:Alias:CCDC28B:rs41263993Target disease:Bardet-Biedl Syndrome(DOID_1935)Effect type:ExpressivityModifier effect:Altered severityEvidence:Assessment of genotype–phenotype associationsEffect:CCDC28B and TMEM67, have been reported as modifier alleles that in the heterozygous state could increase the severity of BBS caused by a homozygous mutation in another BBS gene.Reference:Title:Homozygous mutation in CEP19, a gene mutated in morbid obesity, in Bardet-Biedl syndrome with predominant postaxial polydactyly.Species studied:HumanAbstract:Bardet-Biedl syndrome (BBS) is a ciliopathy with extensive phenotypic variability and genetic heterogeneity. We aimed to discover the gene mutated in a consanguineous kindred with multiple cases of a BBS phenotype.
