Genes affected
NPHP3 (HGNC:7907): (nephrocystin 3) This gene encodes a protein containing a coiled-coil (CC) domain, a tubulin-tyrosine ligase (TTL) domain, and a tetratrico peptide repeat (TPR) domain. The encoded protein interacts with nephrocystin, it is required for normal ciliary development, and it functions in renal tubular development. Mutations in this gene are associated with nephronophthisis type 3, and also with renal-hepatic-pancreatic dysplasia, and Meckel syndrome type 7. Naturally occurring read-through transcripts exist between this gene and the downstream ACAD11 (acyl-CoA dehydrogenase family, member 11) gene. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2011]

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeAug 23, 2023For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 2640). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with nephronophthisis (PMID: 19303681). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. This variant is present in population databases (rs267606916, gnomAD 0.008%). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg702*) in the NPHP3 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in NPHP3 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 18371931, 23559409). -

Joubert syndrome and related disorders Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpAug 04, 2022Variant summary: NPHP3 c.2104C>T (p.Arg702X) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. Truncations downstream of this position are associated with Nephronophthisis in HGMD. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 4.8e-05 in 251404 control chromosomes (gnomAD). This frequency is not higher than expected for a pathogenic variant in NPHP3 causing Joubert Syndrome And Related Disorders (4.8e-05 vs 0.0004). c.2104C>T has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Nephronophthisis and at-least one heterozygous individual with a diagnosis of Joubert Syndrome And Related Disorders (examples: Simpson_2009, Halbritter_2013, Iorio_2020). Three clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 and all classified the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
