Genes affected
NEK1 (HGNC:7744): (NIMA related kinase 1) The protein encoded by this gene is a serine/threonine kinase involved in cell cycle regulation. The encoded protein is found in a centrosomal complex with FEZ1, a neuronal protein that plays a role in axonal development. Defects in this gene are a cause of polycystic kidney disease (PKD). Several transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2010]

Short-rib thoracic dysplasia 6 with or without polydactyly Pathogenic:6
Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLaboratory for Molecular Medicine, Mass General Brigham Personalized MedicineDec 24, 2014The p.Ser1036X variant in NEK1 has not been previously reported in the literature, but other variants leading to loss of function of the NEK1 protein have been reported in individuals with autosomal recessive short-rib polydactyly syndrome (Thiel 2011, Hokayem 2012). This variant has been identified in 0.04% (3/8196) of European American chromosomes by the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project (http://evs.gs.washington.edu/EVS/; dbSNP rs199947197). Other predicted loss of function variants in NEK1 gene are also rare in the general population, consistent with a pathogenic role. This nonsense variant leads to a premature termination codon at position 1036, which is predicted to lead to a truncated or absent protein. In summary, although additional studies are required to fully establish its clinical significance, the p.Ser1036X variant is likely pathogenic for short-rib polydactyly syndrome in an autosomal recessive manner based on the predicted impact on protein function. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeAug 17, 2023For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 208600). This variant is also known as c.3107C>G (p.S1036*). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of short rib-polydactyly syndrome and/or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (PMID: 26945885, 28123176, 28935222, 29068549). This variant is present in population databases (rs199947197, gnomAD 0.03%). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Ser1008*) in the NEK1 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in NEK1 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 22499340, 29068549). -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingARUP Laboratories, Molecular Genetics and Genomics, ARUP LaboratoriesDec 19, 2019The NEK1 c.3023C>G; p.Ser1008Ter variant (rs199947197), also known as c.3107C>G; p.Ser1036Ter for NM_001199397.1, is reported in the literature in the compound heterozygous state with other pathogenic NEK1 variants in individuals affected with short rib-polydactyly syndrome II or axial spondylometaphyseal dysplasia (Wang 2017, Zhang 2018). This variant is reported in ClinVar (Variation ID: 208600), and is found in the general population with an overall allele frequency of 0.012% (33/280416 alleles) in the Genome Aggregation Database. This variant induces an early termination codon and is predicted to result in a truncated protein or mRNA subject to nonsense-mediated decay. Based on available information, this variant is considered to be pathogenic. References: Wang Z et al. Axial spondylometaphyseal dysplasia is also caused by NEK1 mutations.

NEK1-related condition Pathogenic:1
Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingPreventionGenetics, part of Exact SciencesJan 22, 2024The NEK1 c.3023C>G variant is predicted to result in premature protein termination (p.Ser1008*). This variant, also described as c.3107C>G (p.Ser1036*), has been reported in the compound heterozygous state in individuals with axial spondylometaphyseal dysplasia and short rib dysplasia (Wang et al. 2017. PubMed ID: 28123176; table S2, Zhang et al. 2017. PubMed ID: 29068549). The c.3023C>G variant has also been reported in three ALS cases. In one report the c.3023C>G variant was found in two brothers with ALS but also in an unrelated control; the brothers also harbored an expanded C9orf72 allele that may be the most penetrant variant (Nguyen et al. 2017. PubMed ID: 28935222). In a second study the c.3023C>G variant was present in an affected brother and an unaffected older brother indicating this variant exhibits incomplete penetrance (Brenner et al. 2016. PubMed ID: 26945885). The c.3023C>G variant has been interpreted as pathogenic and likely pathogenic in ClinVar. At PreventionGenetics, we have reported this variant in multiple individuals undergoing ALS testing as well as finding this variant in the compound heterozygous state in an individual with phenotypic features consistent with short-rib polydactyly (internal data). Together we classify the c.3023C>G variant as likely pathogenic for autosomal recessive skeletal dysplasia as well as an increased susceptibility to ALS. -
