Our verdict is Likely pathogenic. Variant got 7 ACMG points: 7P and 0B. PM1PM2PP3_ModeratePP5
The NM_017777.4(MKS1):c.1208C>T(p.Ser403Leu) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000558 in 1,613,974 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. 12/21 in silico tools predict a damaging outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity (no stars).

Meckel-Gruber syndrome;C0431399:Familial aplasia of the vermis Pathogenic:1
This sequence change replaces serine, which is neutral and polar, with leucine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 403 of the MKS1 protein (p.Ser403Leu). This variant is present in population databases (no rsID available, gnomAD 0.007%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with Joubert syndrome (PMID: 26490104, 28497568). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 217672). 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 MKS1 protein function with a positive predictive value of 80%. In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. -

Variant summary: MKS1 c.1208C>T (p.Ser403Leu) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 8e-06 in 249294 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.1208C>T has been reported in the literature in at least one compound heterozygous individual affected with Joubert syndrome (Slaats_2016, Bachmann-Gagescu_2015, Summers_2017, Brooks_2018), in addition, the variant was also reported as de novo variant in heterozygous state in a patient affected with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) (e.g. Iossifov_2014, Koire_2021). These data do not allow clear conclusions about variant significance. One publication reported experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function, and demonstrated decreased cilium number and increased length in primary skin fibroblasts from an affected individual (Slaats_2016), however the variant protein was able to completely rescue ciliation defects in an MKS1-knockdown cell line (Slaats_2016). Four submitters have provided clinical-significance assessments for this variant in ClinVar after 2014 and classified the variant as pathogenic (n=1), likely pathogenic (n=2), or VUS (n=1). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as VUS-possibly pathogenic. -

The MKS1 c.1208C>T variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Ser403Leu. This variant was reported in an individual with Joubert syndrome (Slaats et al 2016. PubMed ID: 26490104) as well as in a cohort of autism spectrum disorder (Iossifov I et al 2014. PubMed ID: 25363768; Lim ET et al 2017. PubMed ID: 28714951). This variant is reported in 0.0065% of alleles in individuals of African descent in gnomAD. Although we suspect that this variant may be pathogenic, at this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -
