Genes affected
MKS1 (HGNC:7121): (MKS transition zone complex subunit 1) The protein encoded by this gene localizes to the basal body and is required for formation of the primary cilium in ciliated epithelial cells. Mutations in this gene result in Meckel syndrome type 1 and in Bardet-Biedl syndrome type 13. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

Reported as a rare variant in a homozygous state identified on exome sequencing of patients with GAPO syndrome; however, the reported patients also harbored other variants that may explain the phenotype (PMID: 23602711); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 22810696, 23602711)

The c.1607G>A (p.R536Q) alteration is located in exon 18 (coding exon 18) of the MKS1 gene. This alteration results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 1607, causing the arginine (R) at amino acid position 536 to be replaced by a glutamine (Q). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear.

The MKS1 c.1607G>A variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Arg536Gln. To our knowledge, this variant has not been reported in the literature. This variant is reported in 0.049% of alleles in individuals of South Asian descent in gnomAD. At this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence.

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with glutamine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 536 of the MKS1 protein (p.Arg536Gln). This variant is present in population databases (rs746283445, gnomAD 0.04%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with MKS1-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 397617). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt MKS1 protein function with a negative predictive value of 80%. In 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.
