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.

ACMG classification

Classification made for transcript

Verdict is Uncertain_significance. Variant got 4 ACMG points.

PVS1

Splicing +-2 bp (donor or acceptor) variant, product NOT destroyed by NMD, known LOF gene, truncates exone, which is 0.034632035 fraction of the gene. Cryptic splice site detected, with MaxEntScore 9.1, offset of 0 (no position change), new splice context is: tcgGTgagc. 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;

The 41+1delG variant in NEK8 has not been reported in individuals with renal-hepatic-pancreatic dysplasia type 2 but has been identified in 0.03% (2/7616) of European Americans by the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project (http://evs.gs.washington.edu/EVS/). This variant occurs in the invariant region (+/- 1,2) of the splice consensus sequence and is predicted to cause altered splicing leading to an abnormal or absent protein. A nonsense variant resulting in complete loss of NEK8 function has been previously described in 1 homozygous individual with enlarged cystic kidneys, liver, and pancreas, developmental heart disease, and skeletal deformities, and was found to segregate with disease in 2 affected homozygous siblings (Frank 2013). Similarly, a Nek8 knockout mouse model exhibited randomization of left-right assymetry, cardiac anomalies, and glomerular cystic kidneys (Manning 2013). In summary, while the case report and mouse model indicate complete loss of NEK8 function is likely to be causative for renal-hepatic-pancreatic dysplasia 2, more data is needed to prove the gene-disease association before loss of function variants such as 47+1delG can be interpreted fully. -
