Genes affected
TMEM138 (HGNC:26944): (transmembrane protein 138) This gene encodes a multi-pass transmembrane protein. Reduced expression of this gene in mouse fibroblasts causes short cilia and failure of ciliogenesis. Expression of this gene is tightly coordinated with expression of the neighboring gene TMEM216. Mutations in this gene are associated with the autosomal recessive neurodevelopmental disorder Joubert Syndrome. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with histidine, which is basic and polar, at codon 154 of the TMEM138 protein (p.Arg154His). This variant is present in population databases (rs147966742, gnomAD 0.2%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with TMEM138-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 570566). 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 tolerated. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance.
