Genes affected
NPHS2 (HGNC:13394): (NPHS2 stomatin family member, podocin) This gene encodes a protein that plays a role in the regulation of glomerular permeability. Mutations in this gene cause steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2014]

Nephrotic syndrome, type 2 Pathogenic:8
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingJohns Hopkins Genomics, Johns Hopkins UniversityMar 30, 2021NPHS2 c.503G>A has been identified in the compound heterozygote or homozygous state in multiple individuals with steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome. This NPHS2 variant (rs530318579) is rare (<0.1%) in a large population dataset (gnomAD: 3/221108 total alleles; 0.0014%; no homozygotes). There is an entry for this variant in ClinVar (Variation ID: 188730). Three bioinformatic tools queried predict that this substitution would be damaging, and the arginine residue at this position is evolutionarily conserved across most species assessed. There is functional evidence that this variant causes mislocalization of the NPHS2 protein. We consider NPHS2 c.503G>A to be pathogenic. -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpJul 12, 2020Variant summary: NPHS2 c.503G>A (p.Arg168His) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 1.4e-05 in 221108 control chromosomes. c.503G>A has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Nephrotic Syndrome, Type 2 (examples- Weber_2004, Ruf_2004, Mann_2019). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. Several publications report experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function, indicating that the variant results in mislocalization of the protein to the endoplasmic reticulum (examples- Roselli_2004, Fan_2009). One clinical diagnostic laboratory has submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation and cited the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
not provided Pathogenic:2
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLabcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), LabcorpApr 30, 2023This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome (PMID: 15042551, 15059485, 26467726, 28385484). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects NPHS2 function (PMID: 14675423). 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 expected to disrupt NPHS2 protein function. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 188730). 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 arginine, which is basic and polar, with histidine, which is basic and polar, at codon 168 of the NPHS2 protein (p.Arg168His). -

Nephrotic syndrome Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, no assertion criteria providedclinical testingSydney Genome Diagnostics, Children's Hospital WestmeadSep 06, 2018This patient is an apparent homozygote for a known pathogenic variant, c.503G>A (p.Arg168His), in exon 4 of the NPHS2 gene. This variant has been previously reported in the homozygote state, and also in compound heterozygote with another pathogenic NPHS2 variant, in patients with steroid resistant nephrotic syndrome (SRNS) (Weber et al 2004 Kid Int 66:571-79). In vitro study of the NPHS2 p.Arg168His mutant in cultured podocytes showed the mutant proteins were retained in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). This caused the mislocalisation of other critical slit diaphragm molecules, and significantly upregulated the ER stress markers, resulting in podocyte apoptosis and the cause of SRNS (Fan et al 2009 Genes Cells 14:1079-90). -
