Genes affected

DYNC2LI1 (HGNC:24595): (dynein cytoplasmic 2 light intermediate chain 1) This gene encodes a protein that is a component of the dynein-2 microtubule motor protein complex that plays a role in the retrograde transport of cargo in primary cilia via the intraflagellar transport system. This gene is ubiquitously expressed and its protein, which localizes to the axoneme and Golgi apparatus, interacts directly with the cytoplasmic dynein 2 heavy chain 1 protein to form part of the multi-protein dynein-2 complex. Mutations in this gene produce defects in the dynein-2 complex which result in several types of ciliopathy including short-rib thoracic dysplasia 15 with polydactyly (SRTD15). Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2017]

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. Nucleotide substitutions within the consensus splice site are a relatively common cause of aberrant splicing (PMID: 17576681, 9536098). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with DYNC2LI1-related conditions. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This sequence change affects codon 42 of the DYNC2LI1 mRNA. It is a 'silent' change, meaning that it does not change the encoded amino acid sequence of the DYNC2LI1 protein. This variant also falls at the last nucleotide of exon 2, which is part of the consensus splice site for this exon. -
