Missense variants in TMEM67 in a patient with Joubert syndrome

Clin Case Rep. 2018 Oct 4;6(11):2189-2192. doi: 10.1002/ccr3.1748. eCollection 2018 Nov.

Abstract

We present a patient with a clinical diagnosis of Joubert syndrome with COACH phenotype who carries two TMEM67 variants of uncertain significance (VUS). One VUS can be reclassified as "likely pathogenic" by adding clinical data. As genetic testing becomes more accessible, more VUS will require clinical correlation for accurate classification.

Keywords: Joubert syndrome; TMEM67; genetic testing; molar tooth sign; variants of uncertain significance.
