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]

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeOct 24, 2022For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 1074986). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with CEP78-related conditions. This variant is present in population databases (no rsID available, gnomAD 0.006%). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Glu20Aspfs*40) in the CEP78 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in CEP78 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 27588451, 27588452, 27627988). -
