Genes affected
RSPH1 (HGNC:12371): (radial spoke head component 1) This gene encodes a male meiotic metaphase chromosome-associated acidic protein. This gene is expressed in tissues with motile cilia or flagella, including the trachea, lungs, airway brushings, and testes. Mutations in this gene result in primary ciliary dyskinesia-24. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2014]

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This RSPH1 canonical splice variant has been reported in the homozygous or compound heterozygous state in individuals and families with primary ciliary dyskinesia. The variant (rs151107532) is rare (<0.1%) in a large population dataset (gnomAD v3.1.2: 67/152098 total alleles; 0.044%; no homozygotes). It has been reported in ClinVar (Variation ID 66990). This variant destroys a canonical splice acceptor site, is predicted to cause abnormal gene splicing, and has supporting functional evidence. We consider c.275-2A>C in RSPH1 to be pathogenic. -

The RSPH1 c.275-2A>C variant (rs151107532) is reported in the literature in numerous homozygous or compound heterozygous individuals affected with primary ciliary dyskinesia (Fassad 2020, Kott 2013, Onoufriadis 2014, Tinoco 2023). This variant is found in the non-Finnish European population with an allele frequency of 0.067% (87/129,160 alleles) in the Genome Aggregation Database (v2.1.1). This variant disrupts the canonical splice acceptor site of intron 3, which is likely to negatively impact gene function. Consistent with this, functional studies show this variant leads to exon skipping and is associated with reduced protein expression (Kott 2013, Onoufriadis 2014). Based on available information, this variant is considered to be pathogenic. References: Fassad MR et al.

Primary ciliary dyskinesia Pathogenic:2

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

This sequence change affects an acceptor splice site in intron 3 of the RSPH1 gene. RNA analysis indicates that disruption of this splice site induces altered splicing and may result in an absent or altered protein product. This variant is present in population databases (rs151107532, gnomAD 0.07%). Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individuals with primary ciliary dyskinesia, many of whom were homozygous for this variant (PMID: 23993197, 24518672, 24568568). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 66990). Studies have shown that disruption of this splice site results in skipping of exons 4-5 or exons 4-6, and produces a non-functional protein and/or introduces a premature termination codon (PMID: 23993197, 24568568). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

RSPH1-related disorder Pathogenic:1

PreventionGenetics, part of Exact Sciences
Significance:Pathogenic
Review Status:no assertion criteria provided
Collection Method:clinical testing

The RSPH1 c.275-2A>C variant is predicted to disrupt the AG splice acceptor site and interfere with normal splicing. This variant has been reported in the homozygous state and compound heterozygous state in multiple unrelated individuals affected with primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) (Kott et al. 2013. PubMed ID: 23993197; Knowles et al. 2014. PubMed ID: 24568568; Onoufriadis et al. 2014. PubMed ID: 24518672). In vitro RT-PCR analysis showed that the c.275-2A>C variant leads to the skipping of either exons 4-5 or exons 4-6, resulting in a frameshift and premature protein termination (Kott et al. 2013. PubMed ID: 23993197; Knowles et al. 2014. PubMed ID: 24568568). This variant is reported in 0.067% of alleles in individuals of European (Non-Finnish) descent in gnomAD. Variants that disrupt the consensus splice acceptor site in RSPH1 are expected to be pathogenic. This variant is interpreted as pathogenic. -
