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]

Variant summary: PKHD1 c.6900C>T alters a conserved nucleotide resulting in a synonymous change. Several computational tools predict a significant impact on normal splicing: Two predict the variant strengthens a cryptic 3' acceptor site. One study reported the variant resulted in the skipping of 47 nucleotides of exon 43 resulting in a reading frame shift (Balci_2017), while a second study reported that while this alternate splicing of exon 43 occurs at a basal level in control cells, it is promoted by the synonymous change shifting the expression ratio in favour of a shorter, out-of-frame transcript (Molinari_2020). The variant allele was found at a frequency of 1.6e-05 in 251312 control chromosomes. c.6900C>T has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Polycystic Kidney And Hepatic Disease in the compound heterozygous and homozygous state (Balci_2017, Molinari_2020, Burgmaier_2021). These data indicate that the variant is likely to be associated with disease. Three clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. One submitter classified the variant as likely pathogenic while two classified the variant as VUS. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely pathogenic. -

This sequence change affects codon 2300 of the PKHD1 mRNA. It is a 'silent' change, meaning that it does not change the encoded amino acid sequence of the PKHD1 protein. RNA analysis indicates that this variant induces altered splicing and may result in an absent or disrupted protein product. This variant is present in population databases (rs776060304, gnomAD 0.004%). This variant has been observed in individual(s) with polycystic kidney disease (PMID: 15698423, 15805161, 28170084; Invitae). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 558073). Studies have shown that this variant results in aberrant mRNA splicing and introduces a premature termination codon (PMID: 28170084). The resulting mRNA is expected to undergo nonsense-mediated decay. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

The PKHD1 c.6900C>T is a noncoding alteration. This variant has been reported in the homozygous and compound heterozygous state in individuals with PKHD1-related disease (Balci et al. 2017. PubMed ID: 28170084; Table S3, Burgmaier et al. 2021. PubMed ID: 33940108). The c.6900C site has been reported to be an exonic splicing enhancer and the C to T change caused aberrant mRNA splicing (a 47-nucleotide loss), resulting in a frameshift and premature protein termination (Balci et al. 2017. PubMed ID: 28170084; Molinari et al. 2020. PubMed ID: 33059616). This variant is reported in 0.0040% of alleles in individuals of African descent in gnomAD. This variant is interpreted as pathogenic. -
