Genes affected
TTC21B (HGNC:25660): (tetratricopeptide repeat domain 21B) This gene encodes a member of TTC21 family, containing several tetratricopeptide repeat (TPR) domains. This protein is localized to the cilium axoneme, and may play a role in retrograde intraflagellar transport in cilia. Mutations in this gene are associated with various ciliopathies, nephronophthisis 12, and asphyxiating thoracic dystrophy 4. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2011]

The c.691A>T; p.Thr231Ser variant has been reported in the heterozygous state in 8 patients diagnosed with a range of ciliopathies, including Jeune asphyxiating thoracic dystrophy (JATD), Meckel-Gruber Syndrome (MKS), Bardet-Biedl syndrome (BBS - 4 individuals), and nephronophthisis (NPHP - 2 individuals) (Davis 2011). The results of functional studies in zebrafish embryos and human cell lines resulted in this variant being classified as a hypomorphic allele (Davis 2011). It is classified as a variant of unknown significance in ClinVar (ID: 198257). However, this variant is listed in the genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD) with an overall population frequency of 0.1% (identified on 280 out of 277,060 chromosomes, including 2 homozygotes), and was found in the Saudi Human Genome Program with a population frequency of 1.5% (identified on 53 out of 3504 chromosomes, including 2 homozygotes) (Abouelhoda 2016). This variant was also reported in a patient with Alport syndrome who also carried two pathogenic variants in the COL4A3 gene (Bullich 2017). The threonine at position 231 is moderately conserved, considering 11 species, and computational analyses of the effects of the p.Thr231Ser variant on protein structure and function do not predict a deleterious effect (SIFT: tolerated, PolyPhen-2: benign). Although population frequencies argue against pathogenicity, the clinical significance of the p.Thr231Ser variant cannot be determined with certainty. -

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This 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). Publications were found based on this search. However, the evidence from the literature, in combination with allele frequency data from public databases where available, was not sufficient to rule this variant in or out of causing disease. Therefore, this variant is classified as a variant of unknown significance. -
