Genes affected

DNAH8 (HGNC:2952): (dynein axonemal heavy chain 8) The protein encoded by this gene is a heavy chain of an axonemal dynein involved in sperm and respiratory cilia motility. Axonemal dyneins generate force through hydrolysis of ATP and binding to microtubules. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2012]

Ambry Genetics

Significance:Uncertain significance

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

The c.872C>T (p.A291V) alteration is located in exon 6 (coding exon 5) of the DNAH8 gene. This alteration results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 872, causing the alanine (A) at amino acid position 291 to be replaced by a valine (V). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear.

Primary ciliary dyskinesia

Aug 28, 2023

Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp

Significance:Uncertain significance

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, with valine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 291 of the DNAH8 protein (p.Ala291Val). This variant is present in population databases (rs371250738, gnomAD 0.01%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with DNAH8-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 1026417). Experimental studies and prediction algorithms are not available or were not evaluated, and the functional significance of this variant is currently unknown. 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.
