Genes affected
MKS1 (HGNC:7121): (MKS transition zone complex subunit 1) The protein encoded by this gene localizes to the basal body and is required for formation of the primary cilium in ciliated epithelial cells. Mutations in this gene result in Meckel syndrome type 1 and in Bardet-Biedl syndrome type 13. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Phe499Leufs*31) in the MKS1 gene. While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the last 61 amino acid(s) of the MKS1 protein. This variant is present in population databases (rs780161503, gnomAD 0.002%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with MKS1-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 555641). 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.
