Genes affected
IFT140 (HGNC:29077): (intraflagellar transport 140) This gene encodes one of the subunits of the intraflagellar transport (IFT) complex A. Intraflagellar transport is involved in the genesis, resorption and signaling of primary cilia. The primary cilium is a microtubule-based sensory organelle at the surface of most quiescent mammalian cells, that receives signals from its environment, such as the flow of fluid, light or odors, and transduces those signals to the nucleus. Loss of the corresponding protein in mouse results in renal cystic disease. [provided by RefSeq, Jun 2012]

Variant summary: IFT140 c.3955_3960delGCCAAG (p.Ala1319_Lys1320del) results in an in-frame deletion that is predicted to remove two amino acids from the encoded protein. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.002 in 1607122 control chromosomes in the gnomAD database, including 8 homozygotes, providing evidence for a benign role. However, c.3955_3960delGCCAAG has been reported in the literature in a homozygous stillborn individual affected with Jeune Asphyxiating Thoracic Dystrophy (e.g. Shaheen_2016, Shamseldin_2021) or in individuals affected with retinitis pigmentosa or an unspecified retinal disease as a heterozygous or unreported genotype (e.g. Sergouniotis_2016, AlBdour_2020, Perea-Romero_2021). These report(s) do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Asphyxiating Thoracic Dystrophy 1. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 32587456, 34448047, 27628848, 27894351, 34645488). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 266103). Based on the conflicting evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -

The c.3955_3960delGCCAAG (p.A1319_K1320del) alteration is located in exon 29 (coding exon 27) of the IFT140 gene. This alteration consists of an in-frame deletion of 6 nucleotides between nucleotide positions c.3955 and c.3960, resulting in the deletion of 2 residues. Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

The IFT140 c.3955_3960del6 variant is predicted to result in an in-frame deletion (p.Ala1319_Lys1320del). This variant was reported in the homozygous state in an individual with short-rib thoracic dysplasia/oral-facial-digital syndrome (Patient 12DG1103, Table S3, Shaheen et al. 2016. PubMed ID: 27894351; Table S1, Shamseldin et al. 2021. PubMed ID: 34645488). This variant is reported in 0.36% of alleles in individuals of Ashkenazi Jewish descent in gnomAD, including one homozygote. This variant has been reported in ClinVar with conflicting interpretations of likely pathogenic (1), uncertain (4), and benign (1) (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/266103/). At this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -
