Genes affected
KIF7 (HGNC:30497): (kinesin family member 7) This gene encodes a cilia-associated protein belonging to the kinesin family. This protein plays a role in the sonic hedgehog (SHH) signaling pathway through the regulation of GLI transcription factors. It functions as a negative regulator of the SHH pathway by preventing inappropriate activation of GLI2 in the absence of ligand, and as a positive regulator by preventing the processing of GLI3 into its repressor form. Mutations in this gene have been associated with various ciliopathies. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2011]

ACMG classification

Classification made for transcript

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 12 ACMG points.

PVS1
Splicing +-2 bp (donor or acceptor) variant, product NOT destroyed by NMD, known LOF gene, truncates exone, which is 0.08730159 fraction of the gene. Cryptic splice site detected, with MaxEntScore 3.6, offset of -48, new splice context is: atgGTcaga. Cryptic site results in inframe change. If cryptic site found is not functional and variant results in exon loss, it results in frameshift change.
PM2
Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage;
PP5
Variant 15-89652601-A-C is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr15-89652601-A-C is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 520764.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

The KIF7 c.328+2T>G variant is predicted to disrupt the GT donor site and interfere with normal splicing. To our knowledge, this variant has not been reported in the literature. This variant is reported in 0.0087% of alleles in individuals of European (Non-Finnish) descent in gnomAD. Variants that disrupt the consensus splice donor site in KIF7 are expected to be pathogenic. This variant is interpreted as likely pathogenic. -

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. This sequence change affects a donor splice site in intron 2 of the KIF7 gene. It is expected to disrupt RNA splicing. Variants that disrupt the donor or acceptor splice site typically lead to a loss of protein function (PMID: 16199547), and loss-of-function variants in KIF7 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 19666503, 21552264, 21633164, 26648833). The frequency data for this variant in the population databases is considered unreliable, as metrics indicate poor data quality at this position in the gnomAD database. This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with KIF7-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 520764). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. -
