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.12958T>C (p.S4320P) alteration is located in exon 87 (coding exon 86) of the DNAH8 gene. This alteration results from a T to C substitution at nucleotide position 12958, causing the serine (S) at amino acid position 4320 to be replaced by a proline (P). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear.

Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp
Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces serine, which is neutral and polar, with proline, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 4320 of the DNAH8 protein (p.Ser4320Pro). This variant is present in population databases (rs765743748, gnomAD 0.008%). 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: 407273). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function are either unavailable or do not agree on the potential impact of this missense change (SIFT: "Deleterious"; PolyPhen-2: "Not Available"; Align-GVGD: "Class C0"). 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.
