Genes affected

PKD2 (HGNC:9009): (polycystin 2, transient receptor potential cation channel) This gene encodes a member of the polycystin protein family. The encoded protein is a multi-pass membrane protein that functions as a calcium permeable cation channel, and is involved in calcium transport and calcium signaling in renal epithelial cells. This protein interacts with polycystin 1, and they may be partners in a common signaling cascade involved in tubular morphogenesis. Mutations in this gene are associated with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease type 2. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2011]

Variant summary: PKD2 c.2614C>T (p.Arg872X) 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 4e-06 in 251096 control chromosomes in gnomAD. c.2614C>T has been reported in numerous literature in individuals affected with Polycystic Kidney Disease 2 (example: Benson_2021). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. At least one publication reports experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function, which suggests p.Arg872X PKD2 may be subject to endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation (Liang_2008). The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 33454723, 18178578, 16223735). 11 clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 and all laboratories classified the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

The variant PKD2.c.2614C>T, p.(Arg872Ter), which is located in the coding exon 13 of the PKD2 gene, results from a cytosine-to-thymine substitution at nucleotide position 2614, leading to a premature stop codon at protein position 872. The premature stop codon is predicted to cause non-sense mediated decay and a truncated or absent of the gene product. Loss-of-function variants in the gene (PKD2) are known to be Pathogenic (PMID: 22863349). The variant has been reported in multiple individuals affected with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease. Functional studies showed an altered splicing behaviour of the altered mRNA and increased proteasomal degradation of the resulting protein (PMID: 10541293, 18178578). In addition, functional studies showed that the variant affects PKD1 binding as well as other functional deleterious consequences (PMID: 16223735, 18664456). This variant is consistently assessed as Pathogenic on 13 entries in Clinvar (Clinvar ID: 448036). This variant is classified as very rare in the overall population (one heterozygous carrier in gnomAD). The variant is classified as Pathogenic. -

Nonsense variant in the C-terminus predicted to result in protein truncation, as the last 97 amino acids are lost, and other loss-of-function variants have been reported downstream in the Human Gene Mutation Database (HGMD); Published functional studies demonstrate this variant results in the loss of PKD1 binding, reduction of IP3R binding and the loss of phosphorylation inhibiting cell growth (Qian et al., 1997; Li et al., 2005; Liang et al., 2008); Not observed at a significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 16223735, 19556541, 20168298, 19491093, 10497221, 25525159, 10541293, 9171830, 18664456, 11438989, 21551026, 31514750, 17574468, 18837007, 12842373, 17582161, 22508176, 33454723, 34426522, 22383692, 12707387, 24374109, 11967008) -

The c.2614C>T (p.R872*) alteration, located in exon 14 (coding exon 14) of the PKD2 gene, consists of a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 2614. This changes the amino acid from an arginine (R) to a stop codon at amino acid position 872. This alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. Based on data from gnomAD, the T allele has an overall frequency of <0.001% (1/251096) total alleles studied. The highest observed frequency was 0.001% (1/113410) of European (non-Finnish) alleles. This alteration has been reported in multiple individuals with polycystic kidney disease (Reynolds, 1999; Magistroni, 2003; Garcia-Gonzalez, 2007; Rossetti, 2007; Audr&eacute;zet, 2012; Solazzo, 2018; Magistroni, 2019). This nucleotide position is not well conserved in available vertebrate species. RNA studies have demonstrated that this alteration results in abnormal splicing (Reynolds, 1999). Additionally, T lymphocytes from patients with this alteration showed a reduction of ATP-evoked calcium (Magistroni, 2019). In silico splice site analysis predicts that this alteration will result in the creation or strengthening of a novel splice donor site. Based on the available evidence, this alteration is classified as pathogenic. -

Review Status: no assertion criteria provided

Collection Method: clinical testing

The PKD2 p.Arg872X variant was identified in 15 of 2574 proband chromosomes (frequency: 0.006) from individuals or families with ADPKD (Tan 2008, Rossetti 2007, Magistroni 2003, Rossetti 2007, Garcia-Gonzalez 2007, Audrezet 2012). The variant was also identified in the following databases: dbSNP (ID: rs755226061), ADPKD Mutation Database (as definitely pathogenic) and in control databases in 1 of 245848 chromosomes at a frequency of 0.000004 (Genome Aggregation Database Feb 27, 2017). It was observed in the European Non-Finnish population in 1 of 111338 chromosomes (freq: 0.000009); it was not observed in the African, Other, Latino, Ashkenazi Jewish, East Asian, European Finnish, and South Asian populations. The variant was not identified in ClinVar, Clinvitae, COGR, LOVD 3.0, and PKD1-LOVD databases. Reverse transcription-PCR from patient lymphoblast RNA showed that the variant resulted in an out-of-frame splice variant by activating a cryptic splice site and the formation of three species of processed transcripts: a wildtype transcript, a transcript with a single base nonsense mutation, and an incorrectly spliced transcript with deletion which leads to a consequent frame shift resulting in a stop codon eight residues downstream of the splice junction; there was no exon skipping found (Reynolds 1999). In 1 proband, the variant also co-occurred with a highly pathogenic PKD1 variant (G2814R) (Garcia-Gonzalez 2007). The c.2614C>T variant leads to a premature stop codon at position 872 which is predicted to lead to a truncated or absent protein and loss of function. Loss of function variants of the PKD2 gene are an established mechanism of disease in in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease and is the type of variant expected to cause the disorder. In summary, based on the above information this variant meets our laboratory’s criteria to be classified as pathogenic. -

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg872*) in the PKD2 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in PKD2 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 17582161, 22863349). The frequency data for this variant in the population databases is considered unreliable, as metrics indicate poor data quality at this position in the gnomAD database. This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (PMID: 22508176). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 448036). 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. -
