Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingGenome-Nilou LabApr 11, 2023- -
Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingGenetics and Molecular Pathology, SA PathologyAug 02, 2022The NPHS2 c.890C>T variant is classified as LIKELY PATHOGENIC (PS4_Moderate, PS3, PM2, PP3) The NPHS2 c.890C>T variant is a single nucleotide change in exon 8/8 of the NPHS2 gene, which is predicted to change the amino acid alanine at position 297 in the protein to valine. The variant is rare in population databases (PM2) and has been reported in at least 4 probands with a clinical presentation of focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (HGMD – CM023109) (PS4_Moderate). Transfection studies in human podocyte cell lines showed that when the p.Ala297Val variant was co-expressed with p.Arg229Gln (also in this patient), podocin was retained in the cytoplasm, rather than localising properly to the plasma membrane (Tory et al. 2014 PMID:24509478) (PS3). Computational structural modelling showed the p.Ala297Val variant in trans with p.Arg229Gln led to altered dimerisation. They predicted this most likely contributed to the retention of podocin within cytoplasmic compartments. Computational predictions support a deleterious effect on the gene or gene product (PP3). The variant has been reported in dbSNP (rs199506378) and in the HGMD database: CM023109. It has been reported as pathogenicy by other diagnostic laboratories (ClinVar Variation ID: 370718). -

Inborn genetic diseases Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsJun 16, 2023The c.890C>T (p.A297V) alteration is located in exon 8 (coding exon 8) of the NPHS2 gene. This alteration results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 890, causing the alanine (A) at amino acid position 297 to be replaced by a valine (V). Based on data from gnomAD, the T allele has an overall frequency of 0.001% (2/282136) total alleles studied. The highest observed frequency was 0.008% (2/24964) of African alleles. This alteration has been reported in trans with a second NPHS2 alteration in multiple individuals with clinical features consistent with NPHS2-related nephrotic syndrome (Tsukaguchi, 2002; Caridi, 2003; Machuca, 2009; Lipska, 2013; Phelan, 2015; Sen, 2017; Jyoti, 2020). This amino acid position is poorly conserved in available vertebrate species. Functional analysis suggests that when associated with p.R229Q podocin, the p.A297V alteration has a dominant-negative effect leading to p.R229Q podocin being retained in the cytoplasm. When the p.A297V alteration is associated with wildtype podocin, p.A297V behaves as a recessive alteration (Tory, 2014). The in silico prediction for this alteration is inconclusive. Based on the available evidence, this alteration is classified as pathogenic. -
not provided Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeSep 06, 2023For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. This variant has been shown to alter NPHS2 (podocin) protein function, resulting in podocin mislocalization when in combination with p.Arg229Gln-podocin (PMID: 24509478). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt NPHS2 protein function. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 370718). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome (PMID: 12464671, 12707396, 19145239, 24509478, 26413278, 28780565). It has been reported in trans with the variant p.Arg229Gln in related affected individuals. This suggests that the combination of p.Arg229Gln and this variant may be clinically significant. The frequency data for this variant in the population databases is considered unreliable, as metrics indicate poor data quality at this position in the gnomAD database. This sequence change replaces alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, with valine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 297 of the NPHS2 protein (p.Ala297Val). -
Nephrotic syndrome Pathogenic:1
Likely pathogenic, no assertion criteria providedclinical testingSydney Genome Diagnostics, Children's Hospital WestmeadOct 19, 2018This individual is heterozygous for a known pathogenic variant, c.890C>T, in the NPHS2 gene which results in an amino acid substitution of alanine to valine at residue 297, p.(Ala297Val). This variant has been reported in the gnomAD browser (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org) with a very low allele frequency (1 out of 245,474 alleles). This variant has been previously described in multiple patients with nephrotic sydrome and has also been reported in trans with the c.686G>A variant also identified in this individual (Phelan et al 2015 Clin Kidney J 8: 538-554). Functional studies of the p.Ala297Val mutant protein, co-expressed with the p.Arg229Gln mutant, supported a detrimental effect on protein function (Tory et al 2014 Nat Genet 46: 299-304). This variant is considered to be pathogenic according to the ACMG guidelines (evidence used: PS3, PM2, PM3). -
Idiopathic nephrotic syndrome Pathogenic:1
Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpJun 27, 2022Variant summary: NPHS2 c.890C>T (p.Ala297Val) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the Band 7 domain (IPR001107) of the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 4e-06 in 250734 control chromosomes. c.890C>T has been reported in the literature as a compound heterozygous genotype with the NPHS2 p.R229Q variant in individuals affected with features of steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome (SRNS)/focal and segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) (example, Machuca_2009, Tsukaguchi_2002, Buscher_2010, Sen_2017, Lipska_2013). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. To our knowledge, no variant specific experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported, although colocalization of truncated podocin variants with an intact H1 domain was strongly influenced by A297V. A dispersed reticular localization when coexpressed with A297V similar to R229Q-A297V association (Straner_2018). Three clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely pathogenic. -
