Genes affected
PKD2 (HGNC:9009): (polycystin 2, transient receptor potential cation channel) This gene encodes a member of the polycystin protein family. The encoded protein is a multi-pass membrane protein that functions as a calcium permeable cation channel, and is involved in calcium transport and calcium signaling in renal epithelial cells. This protein interacts with polycystin 1, and they may be partners in a common signaling cascade involved in tubular morphogenesis. Mutations in this gene are associated with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease type 2. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2011]

This variant is expected to result in the loss of a functional protein. The frequency of this variant in the general population is consistent with pathogenicity (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org). This variant has been identified in multiple unrelated individuals with polycystic kidney disease (PKD). This variant appears to segregate with disease in at least one family, however, the available information does not rule out segregation due to chance. -

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

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg742*) in the PKD2 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in PKD2 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 17582161, 22863349). This variant is present in population databases (rs121918040, gnomAD 0.007%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (PMID: 8650545, 12707387, 22383692, 23300259). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 13518). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may create or strengthen a splice site. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
