Genes affected
AHI1 (HGNC:21575): (Abelson helper integration site 1) This gene is apparently required for both cerebellar and cortical development in humans. This gene mutations cause specific forms of Joubert syndrome-related disorders. Joubert syndrome (JS) is a recessively inherited developmental brain disorder with several identified causative chromosomal loci. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2008]

Nonsense variant predicted to result in protein truncation or nonsense mediated decay in a gene for which loss-of-function is a known mechanism of disease; Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 21866095, 26092869, 28492532, 25525159, 16453322, 16155189, 31963381, 31589614) -

Joubert syndrome Pathogenic:1
Oct 21, 2024
Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp
Significance:Pathogenic
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Gln423*) in the AHI1 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in AHI1 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 15322546, 16453322, 28442542, 29186038). This variant is present in population databases (rs777668842, gnomAD 0.01%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individuals with Joubert syndrome or Joubert syndrome-related disorders (PMID: 16155189, 16453322, 26092869). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 217523). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Nephronophthisis Pathogenic:1
May 03, 2018
Sydney Genome Diagnostics, Children's Hospital Westmead
Significance:Pathogenic
Review Status:no assertion criteria provided
Collection Method:clinical testing

This individual is heterozygous for the c.1267C>T and c.2246C>G variants in the AHI1 gene. Both variants create premature stop codons, p.Gln423*and p.Ser749* respectively, and may result in null alleles due to nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. To our knowledge, these variants have not been reported in population databases (dbSNP, ESP, ExAC) and have not been previously associated with disease. However, other truncating mutations downstream of these amino acids have been described in the literature (Parisi et al, J Med Genet. 2006; 43(4):334-339). Both the c.1267C>T and c.2246C>G variants are considered to be pathogenic according to ACMG guidelines. -

Joubert syndrome and related disorders Pathogenic:1
Jun 22, 2023
Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp
Significance:Pathogenic
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

Variant summary: AHI1 c.1267C>T (p.Gln423X) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which is a commonly known mechanisms for disease. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 6.5e-05 in 229968 control chromosomes (gnomAD). This frequency is not significantly higher than estimated for a pathogenic variant in AHI1 causing Joubert Syndrome And Related Disorders (6.5e-05 vs 0.0013), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. c.1267C>T has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Joubert Syndrome And Related Disorders (e.g. Bachmann-Gagescu_2015), including at least one compound heterozygous patient with another pathogenic variant. These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. The following publication has been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 26092869). Eight submitters have cited clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014, and classified it as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:research

The AHI1 c.1267C>T variant was identified in an individual with retinitis pigmentosa with a presumed recessive inheritance pattern. Through a review of available evidence we were able to apply the following criteria: PM2, PVS1, PP1, PM3. Based on this evidence we have classified this variant as Pathogenic. -
