Genes affected
NPHS2 (HGNC:13394): (NPHS2 stomatin family member, podocin) This gene encodes a protein that plays a role in the regulation of glomerular permeability. Mutations in this gene cause steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2014]

ACMG classification

Classification made for transcript

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 14 ACMG points.

PVS1
Splicing +-2 bp (donor or acceptor) variant, product NOT destroyed by NMD, known LOF gene, truncates exone, which is 0.17708333 fraction of the gene. Cryptic splice site detected, with MaxEntScore 6.3, offset of -49, new splice context is: gttcctctaaccccacatAGgaa. Cryptic site results in frameshift change. If cryptic site found is not functional and variant results in exon loss, it results in inframe change.

Familial idiopathic steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome Pathogenic:1

Laboratory for Molecular Medicine, Mass General Brigham Personalized Medicine
Significance: Pathogenic
Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method: clinical testing

The c.535-1G>T variant in NPHS2 has been reported in 2 individuals with steroid- resistant nephrotic syndrome, one of whom was homozygous and one was compound he terozygous (Karle 2002, Hocker 2006). This variant was absent from large populat ion studies. This variant occurs in the invariant region (+/- 1/2) of the splice consensus sequence and is predicted to cause altered splicing leading to an abn ormal or absent protein. Loss of function of the NPHS2 gene is associated with i diopathic steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome. In summary, this variant meets o ur criteria to be classified as pathogenic for idiopathic steroid-resistant neph rotic syndrome in an autosomal recessive manner. -

Significance: Pathogenic
Review Status: no assertion criteria provided
Collection Method: clinical testing

The NPHS2 c.535-1G>T variant is predicted to disrupt the AG splice acceptor site and interfere with normal splicing. This variant was reported in the homozygous state or with a pathogenic variant in individuals with steroid resistant nephrotic syndrome (Karle et al. 2002. PubMed ID: 11805166; Supplementary Table 1, Zhu et al. 2022. PubMed ID: 35755072). This variant has not been reported in a large population database, indicating this variant is rare. Variants that disrupt the consensus splice acceptor site in NPHS2 are expected to be pathogenic. This variant is interpreted as pathogenic. -

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

Variant summary: NPHS2 c.535-1G>T is located in a canonical splice-site and is predicted to affect mRNA splicing resulting in a significantly altered protein due to either exon skipping, shortening, or inclusion of intronic material. Several computational tools predict a significant impact on normal splicing: Four predict the variant abolishes a 3' acceptor site. However, these predictions have yet to be confirmed by functional studies. The variant was absent in 250718 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.535-1G>T has been reported in the literature as a biallelic genotype in individuals affected with Steroid Resistant Nephrotic Syndrome (e.g. Karle_2002, Hocker_2006). These data indicate that the variant may be associated with disease. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Three ClinVar submitters have assessed the variant since 2014: all three classified the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely pathogenic. -
