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]

Significance:Pathogenic
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, with valine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 326 of the PKHD1 protein (p.Gly326Val). This variant is present in population databases (rs778329699, gnomAD 0.0009%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (PMID: 15805161; internal data). 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: 458610). An algorithm developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (PolyPhen-2) suggests that this variant is likely to be disruptive. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Significance:Likely pathogenic
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

Variant summary: PKHD1 c.977G>T (p.Gly326Val) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the IPT domain (IPR002909) of the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. Several computational tools predict a significant impact on normal splicing: One predict the variant abolishes the canonical 3' splicing acceptor site. Three predict the variant weakens the canonical 3' splicing acceptor site. However, these predictions have yet to be confirmed by functional studies. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 4e-06 in 251538 control chromosomes. c.977G>T has been observed as a biallelic genotype in individual(s) affected with autosomal recessive Polycystic Kidney And Hepatic Disease (example, Furu_2003 cited in Sharp_2005, internal data). These data indicate that the variant is likely to be 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: 15108277, 12874454, 14741187, 15805161). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 458610). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely pathogenic. -
