Genes affected

NPHS2 (HGNC:13394): (NPHS2 stomatin family member, podocin) This gene encodes a protein that plays a role in the regulation of glomerular permeability. Mutations in this gene cause steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2014]

NPHS2 Gene-Disease associations (from GenCC):

• nephrotic syndrome, type 2

ACMG classification

Our verdict: Pathogenic. The variant received 18 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Splicing +-2 bp (donor or acceptor) variant, LoF is a know mechanism of disease, No cryptic splice site detected. Exon removal results in frameshift change.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 1-179561287-A-T is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr1-179561287-A-T is described in ClinVar as Likely_pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 189111.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). 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. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 189111). This variant is also known as IVS3+2T>A. Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individual(s) with steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome (PMID: 14978175, 24509478). This sequence change affects a donor splice site in intron 3 of the NPHS2 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 NPHS2 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 10742096, 14701729, 15253708, 23595123). -
