Polycystic liver disease 3 with or without kidney cysts Pathogenic:2
Pathogenic, no assertion criteria provided | literature only | OMIM | Feb 21, 2018 | - - |
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | Neuberg Centre For Genomic Medicine, NCGM | - | The stop gained p.R179* in ALG8 (NM_024079.5) has been previously reported in heterozygous state in patients with polycystic liver disease (Besse W et al,2017). It has been submitted to ClinVar as Pathogenic based on the same. The p.R179* variant is observed in 1/16,224 (0.0062%) alleles from individuals of African background in gnomAD Exomes and is novel (not in any individuals) in 1000 Genomes. This variant is predicted to cause loss of normal protein function through protein truncation. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. - |
ALG8-related disorder Pathogenic:2
Likely pathogenic, no assertion criteria provided | clinical testing | PreventionGenetics, part of Exact Sciences | Dec 22, 2023 | The ALG8 c.535C>T variant is predicted to result in premature protein termination (p.Arg179*). This variant was firstly reported in the heterozygous state in a polycystic liver disease (PLD) patient who also has kidney cysts (Besse et al. 2017. PubMed ID: 28375157). In a later study of assessing the relationship between truncating ALG8 variants and polycystic kidney disease (PKD), individuals who are heterozygous for ALG8 pathogenic or likely pathogenic variants, including this variant, were shown to have increased risk of a mild (atypical) cystic kidney disease phenotype on imaging (Apple et al. 2023. PubMed ID: 36574950). Of note, the majority of loss-of-function variants in ALG8 have been reported in association with autosomal recessive congenital disorder of glycosylation (Human Gene Mutation Database). This variant is reported in 7 of 282,326 alleles in the gnomAD database. Nonsense variants in ALG8 are expected to be pathogenic. This variant is interpreted as likely pathogenic for autosomal recessive ALG8-related disorders. For autosomal dominant polycystic kidney-spectrum phenotype, however, it is currently uncertain since there is limited evidence to support the gene-disease relationship (ALG8 at https://www.clinicalgenome.org/). - |
