Genes affected
DNAH5 (HGNC:2950): (dynein axonemal heavy chain 5) This gene encodes a dynein protein, which is part of a microtubule-associated motor protein complex consisting of heavy, light, and intermediate chains. This protein is an axonemal heavy chain dynein. It functions as a force-generating protein with ATPase activity, whereby the release of ADP is thought to produce the force-producing power stroke. Mutations in this gene cause primary ciliary dyskinesia type 3, as well as Kartagener syndrome, which are both diseases due to ciliary defects. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2009]

The c.8440_8447delGAACCAAA pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 50 of the DNAH5 gene, results from a deletion of 8 nucleotides at nucleotide positions 8440 to 8447, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.E2814*). This mutation, also referred to as 2814fsX1, was described as homozygous in an individual whose respiratory cilia showed absence of outer dynein arms under electron microscopy analysis (Olbrich H et al, Nat. Genet. 2002 Feb; 30(2):143-4). Subsequent immunofluorescent studies of this individual's respiratory epithelial cells suggested that this alteration lead to protein mislocalization (Fliegauf M et al, Am. J. Respir. Crit. Care Med. 2005 Jun; 171(12):1343-9). This alteration was also identified in trans with a pathogenic DNAH5 mutation (p.R3539H) in an individual with a similar absence of outer dynein arms (Djakow J et al. Pediatr Pulmonol, 2012 Sep;47:864-75). Additionally, this variant was detected in an individual who had another frameshift mutation (c.10815delT) and showed abnormal ciliary beat patterns (Raidt J et al, Eur. Respir. J. 2014 Dec; 44(6):1579-88), as well as in an individual with inner dynein arm and outer dynein arm defects who had a DNAH5 nonsense mutation (p.R2677*) along with the c.8440_8447delGAACCAAA mutation (Djakow J et al. Pediatr Pulmonol, 2016 May;51:498-509). This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). In addition to the clinical data presented in the literature, this alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. As such, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Glu2814*) in the DNAH5 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in DNAH5 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 11788826, 16627867). This variant is present in population databases (rs755136231, gnomAD 0.006%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with primary ciliary dyskinesia (PMID: 11788826, 16627867, 22416021, 25186273). This variant is also known as p.Glu2814fs*1. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 454808). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

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

The DNAH5 c.8440_8447delGAACCAAA (p.Glu2814Ter) frameshift variant has been reported in five individuals with primary ciliary dyskinesia, including in one who carried the variant in a homozygous state, in three who carried the variant in a compound heterozygous state, and in one who carried the variant in a heterozygous state where a second variant was not identified, and also in a heterozygous state in an unaffected parent of a patient (Olbrich et al. 2002; Hornef et al, 2006; Djakow et al. 2012; Raidt et al. 2014; Djakow et al. 2016). Control data are unavailable for this variant, which is reported at a frequency of 0.000063 in the European (non-Finnish) population from the Genome Aggregation Database. In respiratory epithelial cilia from an individual homozygous for the p.Glu2814Ter variant, expression of DNAH5 was observed at the ciliary base and the cilia were immotile, whereas expression of DNAH5 in controls was observed along the entire length of the axoneme (Fliegauf et al. 2005). Based on the evidence and due to the potential impact of frameshift variants, the p.Glu2814Ter variant is classified as pathogenic for primary ciliary dyskinesia. This variant was observed by ICSL as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. -

The DNAH5 c.8440_8447del8 variant is predicted to result in premature protein termination (p.Glu2814*). This variant has been reported in the homozygous and compound heterozygous state in multiple individuals with primary ciliary dyskinesia (Olbrich et al. 2002. PubMed ID: 11788826; Table E2, Similuk et al. 2022. PubMed ID: 35753512; Raidt et al. 2014. PubMed ID: 25186273; Djakow et al. 2012. PubMed ID: 22416021). This variant is reported in 0.0044% of alleles in individuals of European (Non-Finnish) descent in gnomAD. Frameshift variants in DNAH5 are expected to be pathogenic. This variant is interpreted as pathogenic. -
