Genes affected
PKHD1 (HGNC:9016): (PKHD1 ciliary IPT domain containing fibrocystin/polyductin) The protein encoded by this gene is predicted to have a single transmembrane (TM)-spanning domain and multiple copies of an immunoglobulin-like plexin-transcription-factor domain. Alternative splicing results in two transcript variants encoding different isoforms. Other alternatively spliced transcripts have been described, but the full length sequences have not been determined. Several of these transcripts are predicted to encode truncated products which lack the TM and may be secreted. Mutations in this gene cause autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease, also known as polycystic kidney and hepatic disease-1. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

This variant has been classified as likely pathogenic and as a VUS by clinical laboratories in ClinVar, and has also been observed in a fetus with ARPKD who also had another missense variant (PMID: 15805161). (SP) 0905 - No published segregation evidence has been identified for this variant. (I) 1007 - No published functional evidence has been identified for this variant.

Autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease Pathogenic:1
Sep 08, 2023
Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp
Significance:Pathogenic
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with polycystic kidney disease (PMID: 15805161). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with leucine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 3240 of the PKHD1 protein (p.Arg3240Leu). This variant is present in population databases (rs146649803, gnomAD 0.0009%). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 167478). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt PKHD1 protein function. This variant disrupts the p.Arg3240 amino acid residue in PKHD1. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 15698423, 19914852, 20413436, 24162162). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

PreventionGenetics, part of Exact Sciences
Significance:Likely pathogenic
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The PKHD1 c.9719G>T variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Arg3240Leu. This variant was reported along with a second PKHD1 variant in a prenatal case of autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD) (Sharp et al. 2005. PubMed ID: 15805161). Internally, we have observed this variant in the compound heterozygous state with a second PKHD1 variant in two families with individuals affected with ARPKD. An alternate substitution impacting the same amino acid (p.Arg3240Gln) has also been reported in patients with ARPKD (e.g., Bergmann et al. 2005. PubMed ID: 15698423; https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/572902). This variant is reported in 0.00088% of alleles in individuals of European (Non-Finnish) descent in gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/variant/6-51612695-C-A). Taken together, this variant is interpreted as likely pathogenic. -

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

Variant summary: PKHD1 c.9719G>T (p.Arg3240Leu) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function all suggest that this variant is likely to be disruptive. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 4e-06 in 251440 control chromosomes. c.9719G>T has been observed in at least one compound heterozygous fetus with a confirmed diagnosis of autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (example: Sharp_2005). These data do not allow any conclusion about variant significance. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Additionally, at least one missense variant at the Arg3240 residue has been reported as likely pathogenic/pathogenic in ClinVar (c.9719G>A/p.Arg3240Gln), suggesting this codon could be critical for normal function of the protein. The following publication has been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 15805161). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 167478). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as VUS-possibly pathogenic. -
