Genes affected
NPHP4 (HGNC:19104): (nephrocystin 4) This gene encodes a protein involved in renal tubular development and function. This protein interacts with nephrocystin, and belongs to a multifunctional complex that is localized to actin- and microtubule-based structures. Mutations in this gene are associated with nephronophthisis type 4, a renal disease, and with Senior-Loken syndrome type 4, a combination of nephronophthisis and retinitis pigmentosa. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2014]

PreventionGenetics, part of Exact Sciences
Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The NPHP4 c.946C>T variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Arg316Cys. To our knowledge, this variant has not been reported in the literature. This variant is reported in 0.12% of alleles in individuals of Latino descent in gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/variant/1-6008176-G-A). At this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -

Ambry Genetics
Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The c.946C>T (p.R316C) alteration is located in exon 8 (coding exon 7) of the NPHP4 gene. This alteration results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 946, causing the arginine (R) at amino acid position 316 to be replaced by a cysteine (C). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

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

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 316 of the NPHP4 protein (p.Arg316Cys). This variant is present in population databases (rs761345213, gnomAD 0.1%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with NPHP4-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 531618). 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 expected to disrupt NPHP4 protein function with a positive 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. -
