Genes affected
KIF7 (HGNC:30497): (kinesin family member 7) This gene encodes a cilia-associated protein belonging to the kinesin family. This protein plays a role in the sonic hedgehog (SHH) signaling pathway through the regulation of GLI transcription factors. It functions as a negative regulator of the SHH pathway by preventing inappropriate activation of GLI2 in the absence of ligand, and as a positive regulator by preventing the processing of GLI3 into its repressor form. Mutations in this gene have been associated with various ciliopathies. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2011]

Variant summary: KIF7 c.1220C>A (p.Ala407Asp) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Three of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0027 in 137568 control chromosomes, predominantly at a frequency of 0.0084 within the African or African-American subpopulation in the gnomAD database (v3 genomes dataset), including 1 homozygote. The observed variant frequency within African or African-American control individuals in the gnomAD database is approximately 20 fold of the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in KIF7 causing Acrocallosal Syndrome/Joubert Syndrome 12 phenotype (0.0004), strongly suggesting that the variant is a benign polymorphism found primarily in populations of African or African-American origin. c.1220C>A has been reported in the literature in one individual affected with cerebellar ataxia (Sun_2019). This report did not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Acrocallosal Syndrome/Joubert Syndrome 12. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Two ClinVar submitters (evaluation after 2014) cite the variant as uncertain significance (1x) and likely benign (1x). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely benign. -

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

This alteration is classified as likely benign based on a combination of the following: seen in unaffected individuals, population frequency, intact protein function, lack of segregation with disease, co-occurrence, RNA analysis, in silico models, amino acid conservation, lack of disease association in case-control studies, and/or the mechanism of disease or impacted region is inconsistent with a known cause of pathogenicity. -
