Genes affected
NPHP3 (HGNC:7907): (nephrocystin 3) This gene encodes a protein containing a coiled-coil (CC) domain, a tubulin-tyrosine ligase (TTL) domain, and a tetratrico peptide repeat (TPR) domain. The encoded protein interacts with nephrocystin, it is required for normal ciliary development, and it functions in renal tubular development. Mutations in this gene are associated with nephronophthisis type 3, and also with renal-hepatic-pancreatic dysplasia, and Meckel syndrome type 7. Naturally occurring read-through transcripts exist between this gene and the downstream ACAD11 (acyl-CoA dehydrogenase family, member 11) gene. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2011]

Benign, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpJan 11, 2022Variant summary: NPHP3 c.1189C>T (p.Arg397Cys) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.003 in 251380 control chromosomes, including 4 homozygotes. The variant was predominantly found within the Non-Finnish European subpopulation at a frequency of 0.005. The observed variant frequency within Non-Finnish European control individuals in the gnomAD database is approximately 12-fold higher than the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in NPHP3 causing Joubert Syndrome and Related Disorders phenotype (0.0004), strongly suggesting that the variant is a benign polymorphism. c.1189C>T has been reported in the literature in the heterozygous state in individuals affected with retinal- or renal dysorders (e.g. Tiwari_2016, Arno_2017, Hoefele_2007), however in these cases other (potentially) pathogenic variants were also described, including a homozygous deletion variant in NPHP1 that was found in two siblings affected with nephronophthisis (Hoefele_2007). To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Four ClinVar submitters have assessed this variant since 2014: one submitter classified the variant as of uncertain significance, two as likely benign, and one as benign. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as benign. -
Renal-hepatic-pancreatic dysplasia 1 Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingIllumina Laboratory Services, IlluminaApr 27, 2017This variant was observed as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (where applicable). No publications were found based on this search. Allele frequency data from public databases did not allow this variant to be ruled in or out of causing disease. Therefore, this variant is classified as a variant of unknown significance. -
