Genes affected
KIAA0753 (HGNC:29110): (KIAA0753) This gene encodes a subunit of a protein complex that regulates ciliogenesis and cilia maintenance. The encoded protein has also been shown to regulate centriolar duplication. Mutations in this gene cause an orofaciodigital syndrome and a form of Joubert syndrome in human patients.

This sequence change falls in intron 8 of the KIAA0753 gene. It does not directly change the encoded amino acid sequence of the KIAA0753 protein. It affects a nucleotide within the consensus splice site. This variant is present in population databases (no rsID available, gnomAD 0.002%). This variant has been observed in individual(s) with orofaciodigital syndrome (PMID: 26643951). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 254662). Studies have shown that this variant alters KIAA0753 gene expression (PMID: 26643951). 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 is not likely to affect RNA splicing. 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. -

Observed with a nonsense variant (p.(K631*)) in a newborn in published literature with oral-facial-digital syndrome, but it is not known whether the variants occurred on the same (in cis) or on different (in trans) chromosomes as the c.1546-3 C>A variant occurred apparently de novo (PMID: 26643951); Non-canonical splice site variant demonstrated to result in a null allele in a gene for which loss of function is a known mechanism of disease (PMID: 26643951); Observed with p.(K631*) and a third sequencing variant in KIAA0753 in a patient with KIAA0753-related ciliopathy, the phase of these variants was not reported (PMID: 37291213); Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); In silico analysis suggests that this variant does not alter splicing; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 28289185, 26643951, 37291213) -

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

Based on the classification scheme VCGS_Germline_v1.3.4, this variant is classified as Pathogenic. Following criteria are met: 0102 - Loss of function is a known mechanism of disease in this gene and is associated with Joubert syndrome 38 (MIM#619476). (I) 0106 - This gene is associated with autosomal recessive disease. (I) 0210 - Splice site variant proven to affect splicing of the transcript with a known effect on protein sequence. Sanger sequencing of cDNA obtained from an individual with orofaciodigital syndrome demonstrated exon 8 skipping. This results in a premature termination codon (p.(Asp439Glyfs*6), also annotated as p.(Asp439Glyfs*5) in the literature) which is predicted to undergo nonsense-mediated decay (NMD, PMID: 26643951). (SP) 0251 - This variant is heterozygous. (I) 0304 - Variant is present in gnomAD <0.01 for a recessive condition (v2: 2 heterozygotes, 0 homozygotes). (SP) 0702 - Other premature termination variants comparable to the one identified in this case have strong previous evidence for pathogenicity. Multiple NMD-predicted variants have been reported in affected individuals and as likely pathogenic/pathogenic (PMID: 34523780, ClinVar). (SP) 0803 - This variant has limited previous evidence of pathogenicity in an unrelated individual. It has been reported de novo in an individual with orofaciodigital syndrome who is compound heterozygous with another nonsense variant, NM_014804.2:c.1891A>T; p.(Lys631*) (PMID: 26643951). (SP) 1002 - This variant has moderate functional evidence supporting abnormal protein function. The KIAA0753 protein was hardly detectable in the immortalised cells of an individual who also has a nonsense variant. The recruitment of its partner proteins onto the centrosomes was also reduced (PMID: 26643951). (SP) 1102 - Strong phenotype match for this individual. (SP) 1205 - This variant has been shown to be maternally inherited (by duo analysis). (I) Legend: (SP) - Supporting pathogenic, (I) - Information, (SB) - Supporting benign -
