Variant summary

Our verdict is Benign. The variant received -13 ACMG points: 0P and 13B. BP4_StrongBP6BS1BS2

The NM_015102.5(NPHP4):​c.3329C>T​(p.Ala1110Val) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00548 in 1,613,652 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, including 30 homozygotes. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. 15/22 in silico tools predict a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity (no stars). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. A1110T) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

Genes affected
NPHP4 (HGNC:19104): (nephrocystin 4) This gene encodes a protein involved in renal tubular development and function. This protein interacts with nephrocystin, and belongs to a multifunctional complex that is localized to actin- and microtubule-based structures. Mutations in this gene are associated with nephronophthisis type 4, a renal disease, and with Senior-Loken syndrome type 4, a combination of nephronophthisis and retinitis pigmentosa. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2014]

This individual is also heterozygous for the c.3329C>T variant in the NPHP4 gene, which results in the amino acid substitution of alanine to valine at residue 1110, p.(Ala1110Val). To our knowledge, this variant has not been previously reported in the literature or any disease specific databases to be a disease causing variant. The variant is listed in ClinVar multiple times as both a benign variant and a VOUS. This variant has been reported in the gnomAD browser (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org) with a low allele frequency of 0.36% (998 out of 276,100 alleles including 3 homozygous individuals). In silico analysis of pathogenicity (through Alamut Visual v2.8.1) using PolyPhen2, SIFT and MutationTaster all suggest that this variant is likely to be benign. This variant is considered to be a VOUS according to the ACMG guidelines (Evidence used: BP4). -

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 and internal cut-off values, a variant classified as likely benign is not then subjected to further curation. The score for this variant resulted in a classification of likely benign for this disease. -
