Genes affected
KIF7 (HGNC:30497): (kinesin family member 7) This gene encodes a cilia-associated protein belonging to the kinesin family. This protein plays a role in the sonic hedgehog (SHH) signaling pathway through the regulation of GLI transcription factors. It functions as a negative regulator of the SHH pathway by preventing inappropriate activation of GLI2 in the absence of ligand, and as a positive regulator by preventing the processing of GLI3 into its repressor form. Mutations in this gene have been associated with various ciliopathies. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2011]

The KIF7 p.Arg154Gln variant was identified in two individuals with neurodevelopmental features similar to acrocallosal syndrome (Tunovic_2015_PMID:26174511; Srivastava_2014_PMID:25131622). These individuals were compound heterozygous for the KIF7 p.Arg154Gln variant and either p.Glu987Lys or p.E987K. The variant was identified in dbSNP (ID: rs180758272) and ClinVar (classified as uncertain significance by Invitae and EGL Genetic Diagnostics). The variant was identified in control databases in 31 of 188318 chromosomes at a frequency of 0.0001646 (Genome Aggregation Database March 6, 2019, v2.1.1). The variant was observed in the following populations: African in 26 of 16664 chromosomes (freq: 0.00156), Latino in 3 of 25532 chromosomes (freq: 0.000118) and European (non-Finnish) in 2 of 76266 chromosomes (freq: 0.000026), but was not observed in the Ashkenazi Jewish, East Asian, European (Finnish), Other, or South Asian populations. The p.Arg154 residue is conserved in mammals and computational analyses (PolyPhen-2, SIFT, AlignGVGD, BLOSUM, MutationTaster) provide inconsistent predictions regarding the impact to the protein; this information is not very predictive of pathogenicity. The variant occurs outside of the splicing consensus sequence and in silico or computational prediction software programs (SpliceSiteFinder, MaxEntScan, NNSPLICE, GeneSplicer) do not predict a difference in splicing. In summary, based on the above information the clinical significance of this variant cannot be determined with certainty at this time. This variant is classified as a variant of uncertain significance. -

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:no assertion criteria provided
Collection Method:clinical testing

The KIF7 c.461G>A variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Arg154Gln. This variant has been reported in the literature in patients with the KIF7-related disease (for example, see Srivastava et al. 2014. PubMed ID: 25131622) This variant is reported in 0.16% of alleles in individuals of African descent in gnomAD. At this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -

KIF7-related ciliopathy spectrum disorder Uncertain:1

Illumina Laboratory Services, Illumina
Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The KIF7 c.461G>A (p.Arg154Gln) missense variant has been reported in one study in which it is identified in a heterozygous state of unknown inheritance in one individual with KIF7-related ciliopathy spectrum disorder. The affected individual also carried a second missense variant in the KIF7 gene in a heterozygous state, which was shown to be maternally inherited. Paternal DNA was not available for testing (Tunovic et al. 2015). The p.Arg154Gln variant is reported at a frequency of 0.001560 in the African population of the Genome Aggregation Database in a region of good sequence coverage. The Arg154 residue is located in the kinesin motor domain. Based on the limited evidence, the p.Arg154Gln variant is classified as a variant of unknown significance for KIF7-related ciliopathy spectrum disorder. -

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with glutamine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 154 of the KIF7 protein (p.Arg154Gln). This variant is present in population databases (rs180758272, gnomAD 0.2%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with acrocallosal syndrome (PMID: 26174511). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 463144). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt KIF7 protein function. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
