Genes affected

NEK8 (HGNC:13387): (NIMA related kinase 8) This gene encodes a member of the serine/threionine protein kinase family related to NIMA (never in mitosis, gene A) of Aspergillus nidulans. The encoded protein may play a role in cell cycle progression from G2 to M phase. Mutations in the related mouse gene are associated with a disease phenotype that closely parallels the juvenile autosomal recessive form of polycystic kidney disease in humans.

Donor and acceptor splice site variants typically lead to a loss of protein function (PMID: 16199547), and loss-of-function variants in NEK8 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 23418306). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with NEK8-related disease. This variant is present in population databases (rs780247729, ExAC 0.002%). This sequence change affects a donor splice site in intron 6 of the NEK8 gene. It is expected to disrupt RNA splicing and likely results in an absent or disrupted protein product. 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. -
