Genes affected
NEK8 (HGNC:13387): (NIMA related kinase 8) This gene encodes a member of the serine/threionine protein kinase family related to NIMA (never in mitosis, gene A) of Aspergillus nidulans. The encoded protein may play a role in cell cycle progression from G2 to M phase. Mutations in the related mouse gene are associated with a disease phenotype that closely parallels the juvenile autosomal recessive form of polycystic kidney disease in humans.

Nephronophthisis 9 Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeMay 08, 2019In 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. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may create or strengthen a splice site, but this prediction has not been confirmed by published transcriptional studies. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function do not agree on the potential impact of this missense change (SIFT: "Deleterious"; PolyPhen-2: "Benign"; Align-GVGD: "Class C0"). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with NEK8-related disease. This variant is present in population databases (rs200972000, ExAC 0.01%). This sequence change replaces arginine with glutamine at codon 326 of the NEK8 protein (p.Arg326Gln). The arginine residue is highly conserved and there is a small physicochemical difference between arginine and glutamine. -
