Genes affected

DNAH11 (HGNC:2942): (dynein axonemal heavy chain 11) This gene encodes a ciliary outer dynein arm protein and is a member of the dynein heavy chain family. It is a microtubule-dependent motor ATPase and has been reported to be involved in the movement of respiratory cilia. Mutations in this gene have been implicated in causing Kartagener Syndrome (a combination of situs inversus totalis and Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia (PCD), also called Immotile Cilia Syndrome 1 (ICS1)) and male sterility.

The p.Ser2169Ter variant in DNAH11 has been reported in 1 individual with primary ciliary dyskinesia (PMID: 22102620), and has been identified in 0.0003% (3/1179692) of European (non-Finnish) chromosomes by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org; dbSNP rs373946181). Although this variant has been seen in the general population in a heterozygous state, its frequency is low enough to be consistent with a recessive carrier frequency. This variant has also been reported in ClinVar (Variation ID: 36983) and has been interpreted as pathogenic by OMIM. This nonsense variant leads to a premature termination codon at position 2169, which is predicted to lead to a truncated or absent protein. Computational tools predict a splicing impact, though this information is not predictive enough to determine/rule out pathogenicity. This variant is adjacent to an in-frame exon and is more likely to escape nonsense mediated decay (NMD) and result in a truncated protein. Loss of function of the DNAH11 gene is an established disease mechanism in autosomal recessive primary ciliary dyskinesia. In summary, while there is some suspicion for a pathogenic role, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: PVS1_strong, PM2_supporting (Richards 2015). -
