Genes affected
PKHD1 (HGNC:9016): (PKHD1 ciliary IPT domain containing fibrocystin/polyductin) The protein encoded by this gene is predicted to have a single transmembrane (TM)-spanning domain and multiple copies of an immunoglobulin-like plexin-transcription-factor domain. Alternative splicing results in two transcript variants encoding different isoforms. Other alternatively spliced transcripts have been described, but the full length sequences have not been determined. Several of these transcripts are predicted to encode truncated products which lack the TM and may be secreted. Mutations in this gene cause autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease, also known as polycystic kidney and hepatic disease-1. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Based on the classification scheme VCGS_Germline_v1.3.5, this variant is classified as Pathogenic. Following criteria are met: 0102 - Loss of function is a known mechanism of disease in this gene and is associated with polycystic kidney disease 4, with or without hepatic disease (MIM#263200). (I) 0106 - This gene is associated with autosomal recessive disease; however, there are emerging reports of heterozygous carriers of PKHD1 variants developing liver cysts and nephrocalcinosis (PMID: 21945273, 36691356). (I) 0115 - Variants in this gene are known to have variable expressivity. Significant intrafamilial variability has been reported (PMID: 20301501). (I) 0200 - Variant is predicted to result in a missense amino acid change from tryptophan to glycine. (I) 0251 - This variant is heterozygous. (I) 0304 - Variant is present in gnomAD (v4) <0.01 (8 heterozygotes, 0 homozygote). (SP) 0501 - Missense variant consistently predicted to be damaging by multiple in silico tools or highly conserved with a major amino acid change. (SP) 0604 - Variant is not located in an established domain, motif, hotspot or informative constraint region. (I) 0708 - Other missense variants comparable to the one identified in this case have conflicting previous evidence for pathogenicity. p.(Trp2736Arg) has one likely pathogenic report and p.(Trp2736Ser) has one VUS report (ClinVar). (I) 0801 - This variant has strong previous evidence of pathogenicity in unrelated individuals. This variant has multiple pathogenic and likely pathogenic reports and has been associated with several unrelated affected individuals (ClinVar, PMIDs: 15805161, 19940839, 24009235, 38125876, 37535131, Heinen et al. (2024)). It also has two VUS reports in ClinVar, however, these entries predate the likely pathogenic/pathogenic reports in ClinVar and literature. (SP) 1007 - No published functional evidence has been identified for this variant. (I) 1208 - Inheritance information for this variant is not currently available in this individual. (I) Legend: (SP) - Supporting pathogenic, (I) - Information, (SB) - Supporting benign -

Variant summary: PKHD1 c.8206T>G (p.Trp2736Gly) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function all suggest that this variant is likely to be disruptive. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 1.2e-05 in 251266 control chromosomes. c.8206T>G has been observed in multiple compound heterozygous individuals and in at-least one fetus affected with Polycystic Kidney And Hepatic Disease (example: Sharp_2005, Denamur_2010, Freedman_2013, Ajiri_2022, Gabriel_2022). These data indicate that the variant is associated with disease. 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: 35812281, 24984783, 19940839, 24009235, 34958143, 15805161). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 496527). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

This sequence change replaces tryptophan, which is neutral and slightly polar, with glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 2736 of the PKHD1 protein (p.Trp2736Gly). This variant is present in population databases (rs764880309, gnomAD 0.003%). This missense change has been observed in individuals with polycystic kidney disease (PMID: 15805161, 19940839, 24009235; Invitae). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 496527). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt PKHD1 protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
