Genes affected

NEK8 (HGNC:13387): (NIMA related kinase 8) This gene encodes a member of the serine/threionine protein kinase family related to NIMA (never in mitosis, gene A) of Aspergillus nidulans. The encoded protein may play a role in cell cycle progression from G2 to M phase. Mutations in the related mouse gene are associated with a disease phenotype that closely parallels the juvenile autosomal recessive form of polycystic kidney disease in humans.

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Variant summary: NEK8 c.1795C>T (p.Arg599X) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 6.8e-05 in 251416 control chromosomes. This frequency is not significantly higher than estimated for a pathogenic variant in NEK8 causing Renal-Hepatic Dysplasia 2. c.1795C>T has been reported in the literature in multiple homozygous individuals affected with Renal-Hepatic Dysplasia 2 (e.g., Frank_2013). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. One publication reports experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function; studies on patient fibroblasts demonstrated a loss of NEK8 expression. The following publication has been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 23418306). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 65408). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: no assertion criteria provided

Collection Method: clinical testing

The NEK8 c.1795C>T variant is predicted to result in premature protein termination (p.Arg599*). This variant has been reported in the homozygous state in three fetuses from one family with renal-hepatic-pancreatic dysplasia (Frank et al. 2013. PubMed ID: 23418306). This variant is reported in 0.020% of alleles in individuals of East Asian descent in gnomAD. Nonsense variants in NEK8 are expected to be pathogenic. This variant is interpreted as pathogenic. -

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg599*) in the NEK8 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in NEK8 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 23418306, 26967905). This variant is present in population databases (rs375661404, gnomAD 0.02%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with autosomal recessive NEK8-related conditions (PMID: 23418306). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 65408). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
