Genes affected
IQCB1 (HGNC:28949): (IQ motif containing B1) This gene encodes a nephrocystin protein that interacts with calmodulin and the retinitis pigmentosa GTPase regulator protein. The encoded protein has a central coiled-coil region and two calmodulin-binding IQ domains. It is localized to the primary cilia of renal epithelial cells and connecting cilia of photoreceptor cells. The protein is thought to play a role in ciliary function. Defects in this gene result in Senior-Loken syndrome type 5. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. A pseudogene of this gene is found on chromosome 6. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2016]

Undiagnosed Diseases Network, NIH
Significance:Pathogenic
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The paternally-inherited c.1518_1519delCA is a frameshift variant, which is predicted to result in loss of function in the IQCB1 gene where loss of function is a known mechanism of Senior-Loken syndrome 5, OMIM 609254. The c.1518_1519delCA variant was observed to be in trans with a c.1465C>T pathogenic variant based on segregation analysis in the family. Both varaints are also present in the patient's similarly affected sister. -

The IQCB1 c.1518_1519del variant was identified in an individual with retinitis pigmentosa with a presumed recessive inheritance pattern. Through a review of available evidence we were able to apply the following criteria: PVS1, PM3, PP1. Based on this evidence we have classified this variant as Pathogenic. -

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

Frameshift: predicted to result in a loss or disruption of normal protein function through protein truncation. Multiple pathogenic variants are reported in the predicted truncated region (PVS1_VS) The variant has been reported at least twice as pathogenic/likely pathogenic with clinical assertions and evidence for the classification (ClinVar ID: VCV000093469, PMID:15723066). It is observed at an extremely low frequency in the gnomAD v2.1.1 dataset (total allele frequency: 0.000085, PM2_M). Therefore, this variant is classified as pathogenic according to the recommendation of ACMG/AMP guideline. -

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

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.His506Glnfs*13) in the IQCB1 gene. While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the last 93 amino acid(s) of the IQCB1 protein. This variant is present in population databases (rs398123538, gnomAD 0.02%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individuals with Senior-Loken syndrome or Leber congenital amaurosis (PMID: 15723066, 20881296). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Significance:Pathogenic
Review Status:no assertion criteria provided
Collection Method:clinical testing

The IQCB1 c.1518_1519delCA variant is predicted to result in a frameshift and premature protein termination (p.His506Glnfs*13). This variant has been reported to be pathogenic for Senior-Loken syndrome (see for example at Otto et al. 2005. PubMed ID: 15723066; Barbelanne et al. 2013. PubMed ID: 23446637; Sallum et al. 2020. PubMed ID: 32865313). This variant is reported in 0.017% of alleles in individuals of European (Non-Finnish) descent in gnomAD. Frameshift variants in IQCB1 are expected to be pathogenic. This variant is interpreted as pathogenic. -
