Genes affected
NPHP4 (HGNC:19104): (nephrocystin 4) This gene encodes a protein involved in renal tubular development and function. This protein interacts with nephrocystin, and belongs to a multifunctional complex that is localized to actin- and microtubule-based structures. Mutations in this gene are associated with nephronophthisis type 4, a renal disease, and with Senior-Loken syndrome type 4, a combination of nephronophthisis and retinitis pigmentosa. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2014]

The NPHP4 p.Glu989Lys variant was not identified in the literature nor was it identified in Cosmic. The variant was identified in dbSNP (ID: rs116606479), ClinVar (classified as a VUS by Invitae, EGL Genetics, GeneDx and Illumina), and in LOVD 3.0 (variant is listed as likely benign). The variant was also identified in control databases in 125 of 280094 chromosomes at a frequency of 0.000446 increasing the likelihood this could be a low frequency benign variant (Genome Aggregation Database Feb 27, 2017). The variant was observed in the following populations: African in 50 of 24192 chromosomes (freq: 0.002067), Other in 8 of 7136 chromosomes (freq: 0.001121), South Asian in 17 of 30602 chromosomes (freq: 0.000556), Latino in 17 of 35368 chromosomes (freq: 0.000481), European (non-Finnish) in 31 of 128312 chromosomes (freq: 0.000242) and East Asian in 2 of 19532 chromosomes (freq: 0.000102), but not in the Ashkenazi Jewish, and European (Finnish) populations. The variant occurs outside of the splicing consensus sequence and in silico or computational prediction software programs (SpliceSiteFinder, MaxEntScan, NNSPLICE, GeneSplicer) do not predict a difference in splicing. The p.Glu989 residue is conserved in mammals and computational analyses (PolyPhen-2, SIFT, AlignGVGD, BLOSUM, MutationTaster) provide inconsistent predictions regarding the impact to the protein; this information is not very predictive of pathogenicity. In summary, based on the above information the clinical significance of this variant cannot be determined with certainty at this time. This variant is classified as a variant of uncertain significance. -

This variant was observed in the ICSL laboratory as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. It had not been previously curated by ICSL or reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database (HGMD: prior to June 1st, 2018), and was therefore a candidate for classification through an automated scoring system. Utilizing variant allele frequency, disease prevalence and penetrance estimates, and inheritance mode, an automated score was calculated to assess if this variant is too frequent to cause the disease. Based on the score, this variant could not be ruled out of causing disease and therefore its association with disease required further investigation. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (if applicable). No publications were found based on this search. This variant was therefore classified as a variant of unknown significance for this disease. -

The NPHP4 c.2965G>A variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Glu989Lys. This variant along with two other NPHP4 variants (c.2951C>T, p.Thr984Met and c.2203C>T, p.Arg735Trp) were reported in an individual with Senior–Løken syndrome (Sallum et al. 2020. PubMed ID: 32865313). This variant was also reported as uncertain significance with c.2203C>T (p.Arg735Trp) in individuals with chronic kidney disease and nephronophthisis (Al-Hamed et al. 2022. PubMed ID: 36177613; Tables S2 and S3, König et al. 2022. PubMed ID: 36090483). This variant is reported in 0.21% of alleles in individuals of African descent in gnomAD, which may be too common to be a primary cause of disease. Although we suspect that this variant may possibly be benign, at this time its clinical significance is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -
