Genes affected
NPHP4 (HGNC:19104): (nephrocystin 4) This gene encodes a protein involved in renal tubular development and function. This protein interacts with nephrocystin, and belongs to a multifunctional complex that is localized to actin- and microtubule-based structures. Mutations in this gene are associated with nephronophthisis type 4, a renal disease, and with Senior-Loken syndrome type 4, a combination of nephronophthisis and retinitis pigmentosa. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2014]

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.Arg488*) in the NPHP4 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in NPHP4 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 12205563, 23559409). This variant is present in population databases (rs778043242, gnomAD 0.1%), including at least one homozygous and/or hemizygous individual. This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with nephronophthisis (PMID: 15776426). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 297820). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
