Genes affected
IFT140 (HGNC:29077): (intraflagellar transport 140) This gene encodes one of the subunits of the intraflagellar transport (IFT) complex A. Intraflagellar transport is involved in the genesis, resorption and signaling of primary cilia. The primary cilium is a microtubule-based sensory organelle at the surface of most quiescent mammalian cells, that receives signals from its environment, such as the flow of fluid, light or odors, and transduces those signals to the nucleus. Loss of the corresponding protein in mouse results in renal cystic disease. [provided by RefSeq, Jun 2012]

Saldino-Mainzer syndrome Pathogenic:5
Jan 31, 2025
Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp
Significance:Pathogenic
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, with arginine, which is basic and polar, at codon 212 of the IFT140 protein (p.Gly212Arg). This variant also falls at the last nucleotide of exon 6, which is part of the consensus splice site for this exon. This variant is present in population databases (rs201188361, gnomAD 0.009%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with Mainzer-Saldino syndrome, Jeune synrome, or Senior-Loken syndrome (PMID: 22503633, 28559085, 28724397). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 31683). An algorithm developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (PolyPhen-2) suggests that this variant is likely to be disruptive. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects IFT140 function (PMID: 22503633, 28724397). Variants that disrupt the consensus splice site are a relatively common cause of aberrant splicing (PMID: 17576681, 9536098). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

The IFT140 c.634G>A (p.Gly212Arg) variant has been reported in two studies and was found in four probands, including one sibling-pair, one in a homozygous state and three in a compound heterozygous state (Perrault et al. 2012; Helm et al. 2017). One of these probands, who carried the splice-site mutation on the other allele, was clinically diagnosed with Jeune syndrome. Jeune syndrome has overlapping symptoms with Mainzer-Saldino syndrome with the additional phenotype of asphyxiating thoracic dystrophy. The p.Gly212Arg variant is reported at a frequency of 0.000095 in the European (non-Finnish) population of the Genome Aggregation Database. In vitro studies of the p.Gly212Arg variant in retinal pigment epithelial cells showed changes to the cellular localization of the variant protein (Perrault et al. 2012). In vitro analysis in lymphocyte cells found that the p.Gly212Arg variant affected splicing of exon 6 (Helm et al. 2017). Based on the evidence, the p.Gly212Arg variant is classified as likely pathogenic for Mainzer-Saldino syndrome. This variant was observed by ICSL as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. -

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

The IFT140 c.634G>A variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Gly212Arg. This variant has been reported in multiple individuals with IFT140-related ciliopathy (for examples, see Perrault et al. 2012. PubMed ID: 22503633; Bayat. 2017. PubMed ID: 28288023). With a second pathogenic variant on the opposite chromosome (in trans), the variant was documented to be causative for Mainzer-Saldino Syndrome and Jeune Syndrome in an adult patient and a child patient, respectively (Perrault et al. 2012. PubMed: 22503633). It has also been found in the compound heterozygous state in an individual with cleft palate (Wilson et al. 2023. PubMed ID: 37010288). This variant has been shown to disrupt splicing in an in vivo model, leading to loss of function (Helm et al. 2017. PubMed ID: 28724397). This variant is reported in 0.0093% of alleles in individuals of European (Non-Finnish) descent in gnomAD. This variant is interpreted as pathogenic. -

Review Status:no assertion criteria provided

This patient is heterozygous for a c.634G>A (p.Gly212Arg) in the IFT140 gene. This variant has been previously reported in conjunction with a second pathogenic IFT140 mutation in patients with Mainzer-Saldino syndrome (MSS) and Jeune syndrome .Functional studies have shown that this variant affects IFT140 cell localization and therefore this variant is considered to be pathogenic (Perrault et al. 2012, Am. J. Hum.Genet 90, 864-870). -
