Genes affected

CEP78 (HGNC:25740): (centrosomal protein 78) This gene encodes a centrosomal protein that is both required for the regulation of centrosome-related events during the cell cycle, and required for ciliogenesis. The encoded protein has an N-terminal leucine-rich repeat (LRR) domain with six consecutive LRR repeats, and a C-terminal coiled-coil domain. It interacts with the N-terminal catalytic domain of polo-like kinase 4 (PLK4) and colocalizes with PLK4 to the distal end of the centriole. Naturally occurring mutations in this gene cause defects in primary cilia that result in retinal degeneration and sensorineural hearing loss which are associated with cone-rod degeneration disease as well as Usher syndrome. Low expression of this gene is associated with poor prognosis of colorectal cancer patients. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2017]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 12 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product does not undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. Variant located near the start codon (<100nt), not predicted to undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. There are 33 pathogenic variants in the truncated region.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 9-78236408-G-T is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr9-78236408-G-T is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 844273.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.

Invitae

Mar 25, 2020

For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. Loss-of-function variants in CEP78 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 27588451, 27588452, 27627988). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with CEP78-related conditions. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Glu20*) in the CEP78 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. -
