Variant summary

Our verdict is Benign. The variant received -20 ACMG points: 0P and 20B. BP4_StrongBP6_Very_StrongBS1BS2

The NM_001009944.3(PKD1):​c.4018C>T​(p.Arg1340Trp) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00358 in 1,611,100 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, including 15 homozygotes. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. 14/22 in silico tools predict a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Likely benign (★★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. R1340Q) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

Genes affected
PKD1 (HGNC:9008): (polycystin 1, transient receptor potential channel interacting) This gene encodes a member of the polycystin protein family. The encoded glycoprotein contains a large N-terminal extracellular region, multiple transmembrane domains and a cytoplasmic C-tail. It is an integral membrane protein that functions as a regulator of calcium permeable cation channels and intracellular calcium homoeostasis. It is also involved in cell-cell/matrix interactions and may modulate G-protein-coupled signal-transduction pathways. It plays a role in renal tubular development, and mutations in this gene cause autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease type 1 (ADPKD1). ADPKD1 is characterized by the growth of fluid-filled cysts that replace normal renal tissue and result in end-stage renal failure. Splice variants encoding different isoforms have been noted for this gene. Also, six pseudogenes, closely linked in a known duplicated region on chromosome 16p, have been described.

Variant summary: PKD1 c.4018C>T (p.Arg1340Trp) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function are either unavailable or do not agree on the potential impact of this missense change. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0026 in 246614 control chromosomes in the gnomAD database, including 2 homozygotes. The observed variant frequency exceeds the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in PKD1 causing PKD1-Biallelic Autosomal Recessive Polycystic Kidney Disease phenotype. c.4018C>T has been observed in individual(s) affected with Polycystic Kidney Disease without strong evidence for causality (Carrera_2016, Rasouly_2019, Rossetti_2002). These report(s) do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with PKD1-related Polycystic Kidney Disease. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 27499327, 30476936, 11967008). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 256960). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely benign. -

The PKD1 p.Arg1340Trp variant was identified in 5 of 328 proband chromosomes (frequency: 0.015) from individuals or families with ADPKD (Bataille 2011, Garcia-Gonzalez 2007, Rossetti 2002, Rossetti 2007). The variant was also identified in dbSNP (ID: rs143690392) as “NA”, and ADPKD Mutation Database (as likely neutral). This variant was identified in the 1000 Genomes Project in 10 of 5000 chromosomes (freq. 0.002), the NHLBI GO Exome Sequencing Project in 35 of 8582 European American alleles (freq. 0.004) and in 5 of 4374 African American alleles (freq. 0.001), the Exome Aggregation Consortium database (August 8, 2016) in 286 (1 homozygous) of 116868 chromosomes (freq. 0.002) in the following populations Finnish in 36 of 6204 chromosomes (freq. 0.006), European (Non-Finnish) in 220 of 63994 chromosomes (freq. 0.003), other in 2 of 838 chromosomes (freq. 0.002), African in 21 of 9516 chromosomes (freq. 0.002), Latino in 6 of 11372 chromosomes (freq. 0.0005), and South Asian in 1 of 16460 chromosomes (freq. 0.00006), but was not seen in East Asian populations, increasing the likelihood this could be a low frequency benign variant. In addition we cannot be certain that data from control databases is specific to PKD1 and not from one of the six PKD1 pseudogenes. The variant was not identified in Clinvitae, ClinVar, GeneInsight COGR, MutDB, PKD1-LOVD, and PKD1-LOVD 3.0. The p.Arg1340 residue is not conserved in mammals and four out of five computational analyses (PolyPhen-2, SIFT, AlignGVGD, BLOSUM, MutationTaster) do not suggest a high likelihood of impact to the protein. The variant occurs outside of the splicing consensus sequence and 1 in 5 in silico or computational prediction software programs (SpliceSiteFinder, MaxEntScan, NNSPLICE, GeneSplicer, HumanSpliceFinder) predict a difference in splicing. The variant was identified with a co-occurring pathogenic PKD1 variant p.Leu56ProfsX60, increasing the likelihood that the p.Arg2191His variant does not have clinical significance. In addition, the variant was classified as “a known exonic polymorphism” in multiple studies (Rossetti 2012, Bataille 2011). In summary, based on the above information, this variant meets our laboratory criteria to be classified as benign. -
