Genes affected
NPHP3 (HGNC:7907): (nephrocystin 3) This gene encodes a protein containing a coiled-coil (CC) domain, a tubulin-tyrosine ligase (TTL) domain, and a tetratrico peptide repeat (TPR) domain. The encoded protein interacts with nephrocystin, it is required for normal ciliary development, and it functions in renal tubular development. Mutations in this gene are associated with nephronophthisis type 3, and also with renal-hepatic-pancreatic dysplasia, and Meckel syndrome type 7. Naturally occurring read-through transcripts exist between this gene and the downstream ACAD11 (acyl-CoA dehydrogenase family, member 11) gene. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2011]
NPHP3-ACAD11 (HGNC:48351): (NPHP3-ACAD11 readthrough (NMD candidate)) This locus represents naturally occurring read-through transcription between the neighboring NPHP3 (nephronophthisis 3, adolescent) and ACAD11 (acyl-CoA dehydrogenase family, member 11) genes on chromosome 3. The read-through transcript is a candidate for nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD), and is thus unlikely to produce a protein product. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2011]

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:no assertion criteria provided
Collection Method:clinical testing

The NPHP3 c.3499C>T variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Arg1167Cys. To our knowledge, this variant has not been reported in the literature. This variant is reported in 0.0080% of alleles in individuals of African descent in gnomAD. At this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -

Ambry Genetics
Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The c.3499C>T (p.R1167C) alteration is located in exon 24 (coding exon 24) of the NPHP3 gene. This alteration results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 3499, causing the arginine (R) at amino acid position 1167 to be replaced by a cysteine (C). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

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

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 1167 of the NPHP3 protein (p.Arg1167Cys). This variant is present in population databases (rs201135796, gnomAD 0.008%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with NPHP3-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 580774). 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: "Possibly Damaging"; 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. -
