RCV001292210 | SCV001480986 | uncertain significance | Polycystic kidney disease | no assertion criteria provided | clinical testing | The PKD1 c.8161+5C>T variant was not identified in the literature nor was it identified in GeneInsight-COGR, LOVD 3.0, ADPKD Mutation Database or PKD1-LOVD. The variant was identified in dbSNP (ID: rs534696523) “With Likely benign allele”, ClinVar (classified likely benign by Prevention Genetics), and in control databases in 34 of 174976 chromosomes at a frequency of 0.0002, increasing the likelihood this could be a low frequency benign variant (Genome Aggregation Database Feb 27, 2017). Breakdown of the observations by population include African in 6 of 15076 chromosomes (freq: 0.0004), Latino in 4 of 25344 chromosomes (freq: 0.0002), European Non-Finnish in 17 of 71256 chromosomes (freq: 0.0002), Ashkenazi Jewish in 5 of 8382 chromosomes (freq: 0.0006), East Asian in 1 of 12724 chromosomes (freq: 0.00008), and South Asian in 1 of 23284 chromosomes (freq: 0.00004), while not observed in the Other and European Finnish populations. In addition we cannot be certain that data from control databases is specific to PKD1 and not from one of the six PKD1 pseudogenes. The c.8161+5C>T variant is located in the 5' splice region but does not affect the invariant +1 and +2 positions. Positions +3 to +6 are part of the splicing consensus sequence and variants involving these positions sometimes affect splicing; however, in silico or computational prediction software programs (SpliceSiteFinder, MaxEntScan, NNSPLICE, GeneSplicer, HumanSpliceFinder) do not predict a difference in splicing for the variant. In summary, based on the above information the clinical significance of this variant cannot be determined with certainty at this time. This variant is classified as a variant of uncertain significance. |
