The R158X variant in the MKS1 gene has been reported previously in association with Meckel syndrome. (Khaddour et al., 2007; Tallila et al., 2009). In one publication, this variant was confirmed to be on the opposite allele (in trans) with another pathogenic variant (Khaddour et al., 2007). This variant is predicted to cause loss of normal protein function either through protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. The R158X variant is observed in 2/241314 alleles in large population cohorts (Lek et al., 2016). We interpret R158X as a pathogenic variant. -
MKS1-related disorder Pathogenic:1
The MKS1 c.472C>T variant is predicted to result in premature protein termination (p.Arg158*). This variant has been reported in the compound heterozygous state in a fetus with features consistent with Meckel syndrome (Khaddour et al. 2007. PubMed ID: 17397051) and was also reported in the compound heterozygous state in an individual with isolated retinitis pigmentosa who was found to have a mild presentation of Joubert syndrome through molecular testing (Brunetti-Pierri R et al. 2021. PubMed ID: 34359301). Functional studies using HEK293 cells and fibroblasts from the compound heterozygous patient in the Khaddour et al. paper show that these variants result in ciliary defects, deregulation of proteasome, and disrupt Wnt/beta-catenin signaling (Szymanska et al. 2022. PubMed ID: 35170427). This variant is reported in 0.011% of alleles in individuals of East Asian descent in gnomAD. Nonsense variants in MKS1 are expected to be pathogenic. This variant is interpreted as pathogenic. -
Meckel-Gruber syndrome;C0431399:Joubert syndrome Pathogenic:1
This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg158*) in the MKS1 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in MKS1 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 19466712, 24886560, 26490104). This variant is present in population databases (rs386834050, gnomAD 0.01%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with MKS1-related conditions (PMID: 17397051). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 56623). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
