Genes affected
NPHS1 (HGNC:7908): (NPHS1 adhesion molecule, nephrin) This gene encodes a member of the immunoglobulin family of cell adhesion molecules that functions in the glomerular filtration barrier in the kidney. The gene is primarily expressed in renal tissues, and the protein is a type-1 transmembrane protein found at the slit diaphragm of glomerular podocytes. The slit diaphragm is thought to function as an ultrafilter to exclude albumin and other plasma macromolecules in the formation of urine. Mutations in this gene result in Finnish-type congenital nephrosis 1, characterized by severe proteinuria and loss of the slit diaphragm and foot processes.[provided by RefSeq, Oct 2009]

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpAug 10, 2017Variant summary: The NPHS1 c.2928G>T (p.Arg976Ser) variant involves the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide, resulting in a missense change in the fibronectin type III and immunoglobulin-like domains (InterPro). 4/4 in silico tools predict a damaging outcome for this variant (SNPsandGO not captured due to low reliability index). The variant is the first nucleotide at the intron 21-exon 22 junction and 5/5 splice prediction tools predict a significant impact on normal splicing. These predictions are supported by a functional study, where exon 22 was found to be constitutively skipped in the presence of the variant via mini-gene assay. However, this in vitro result was not confirmed in vivo due to lack of patient samples (Philippe_JASN_2008). The same study showed that trafficking of nephrin (encoded by NPHS1) to the cell membrane was not altered by the variant. In the literature, numerous patients with end-stage renal failure (ESRF), minimal-change glomerulonephritis (MCNS), and focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) have been found to carry the variant, mostly in compound heterozygosity. One patient homozygous for the variant has mild steroid resistant nephrotic syndrome (SRNS) with late onset at 37 years old (Lovric_CJASN_2014). This variant was found in the large control database ExAC and in control cohorts from the literature at a frequency of 0.0000657 (8/121742 control chromosomes), which does not exceed the estimated maximal expected allele frequency of a pathogenic NPHS1 variant (0.0033541). One clinical diagnostic laboratory and one reputable database have classified this variant as likely pathogenic or pathogenic. Taken together, this variant is classified as pathogenic. -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingIllumina Laboratory Services, IlluminaOct 08, 2018The NPHS1 c.2928G>T (p.Arg976Ser) variant has been reported across three studies in a total of ten probands in a compound heterozygous state with a diagnosis of steroid resistant nephrogenic syndrome or congenital nephrotic syndrome (Philippe et al. 2008; Santin et al. 2009; Schoeb et al. 2010). Control data are unavailable for this variant, which is reported at a frequency of 0.0002in the European population of the 1000 Genomes Project. In vitro exon trapping experiments are suggestive of the p.Arg976Ser variant causing altered splicing that excludes exon 22 from the NPHS1 transcript (Philippe et al. 2008). Based on the evidence, the p.Arg976Ser variant is classified as pathogenic for congenital nephrotic syndrome. This variant was observed by ICSL as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLabcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), LabcorpJan 24, 2024This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with serine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 976 of the NPHS1 protein (p.Arg976Ser). This variant is present in population databases (rs138656762, gnomAD 0.01%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with nephrotic syndrome (PMID: 18614772, 20172850, 24742477, 29474669). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 188761). An algorithm developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (PolyPhen-2) suggests that this variant is likely to be disruptive. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

NPHS1-related disorder Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingPreventionGenetics, part of Exact SciencesDec 19, 2022The NPHS1 c.2928G>T variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Arg976Ser. This variant is located at the first base of an exon, and is predicted to diminish the strength of the canonical splice site (Alamut Visual Plus v1.6.1). This variant has been reported in the homozygous and compound heterozygous states in several individuals with congenital nephrotic syndrome (Philippe et al. 2008. PubMed ID: 18614772; Lovric et al. 2014. PubMed ID: 24742477; Schoeb et al. 2010. PubMed ID: 201728506). This variant is reported in 0.014% of alleles in individuals of Latino descent in gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/variant/19-36330320-C-A). This variant is interpreted as pathogenic. -
