Genes affected

RPGRIP1L (HGNC:29168): (RPGRIP1 like) The protein encoded by this gene can localize to the basal body-centrosome complex or to primary cilia and centrosomes in ciliated cells. The encoded protein has been found to interact with nephrocystin-4. Defects in this gene are a cause of Joubert syndrome type 7 (JBTS7) and Meckel syndrome type 5 (MKS5).

The K386E variant in the RPGRIP1L gene has not been reported previously as a pathogenic variant, nor as a benign variant, to our knowledge. Although not present in the homozygous state, the K386E variant is observed in 82/66610 (0.23%) alleles from individuals of non-Finnish European background, in the ExAC dataset (Lek et al., 2016). The K386E variant is a non-conservative amino acid substitution, which is likely to impact secondary protein structure as these residues differ in polarity, charge, size and/or other properties. This substitution occurs at a position where amino acids with similar properties to Lysine are tolerated across species. In silico analysis is inconsistent in its predictions as to whether or not the variant is damaging to the protein structure/function. We interpret K386E as a variant of uncertain significance. -

The RPGRIP1L p.Lys386Glu variant was identified in 1 of 384 proband chromosomes (Frequency: 0.0026) from individuals with nephronophthisis-associated ciliopathy (Halbritter_2012_PMID:23188109). The variant was identified in dbSNP (ID: rs137982921) and ClinVar (classified as uncertain significance by Invitae, EGL Genetic Diagnostics, Fulgent Genetics, GeneDx, and Illumina). The variant was identified in control databases in 228 of 282020 chromosomes at a frequency of 0.0008085 increasing the likelihood this could be a low frequency benign variant (Genome Aggregation Database March 6, 2019, v2.1.1). The variant was observed in the following populations: Latino in 54 of 35376 chromosomes (freq: 0.001526), Other in 10 of 7194 chromosomes (freq: 0.00139), European (non-Finnish) in 158 of 128734 chromosomes (freq: 0.001227), Ashkenazi Jewish in 2 of 10354 chromosomes (freq: 0.000193), European (Finnish) in 2 of 24848 chromosomes (freq: 0.00008) and African in 2 of 24964 chromosomes (freq: 0.00008), but was not observed in the East Asian or South Asian populations. The p.Lys386 residue is conserved in mammals and computational analyses (PolyPhen-2, SIFT, AlignGVGD, BLOSUM, MutationTaster) provide inconsistent predictions regarding the impact to the protein; this information is not very predictive of pathogenicity. The variant occurs outside of the splicing consensus sequence and in silico or computational prediction software programs (SpliceSiteFinder, MaxEntScan, NNSPLICE, GeneSplicer) do not predict a difference in splicing. In summary, based on the above information the clinical significance of this variant cannot be determined with certainty at this time. This variant is classified as a variant of uncertain significance. -

Joubert syndrome 7 Uncertain:1

Illumina Laboratory Services, Illumina

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This variant was observed in the ICSL laboratory as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. It had not been previously curated by ICSL or reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database (HGMD: prior to June 1st, 2018), and was therefore a candidate for classification through an automated scoring system. Utilizing variant allele frequency, disease prevalence and penetrance estimates, and inheritance mode, an automated score was calculated to assess if this variant is too frequent to cause the disease. Based on the score, this variant could not be ruled out of causing disease and therefore its association with disease required further investigation. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (if applicable). No publications were found based on this search. This variant was therefore classified as a variant of unknown significance for this disease. -

Significance: Likely benign

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter
