This variant was found in 78/128548 control chromosomes at a frequency of 0.0006068, which does not exceed the estimated maximal expected allele frequency of a pathogenic PKHD1 variant (0.0070711). This variant has been reported in many ARPKD patients both as compound heterozygotes and homozygotes. In addition, multiple clinical diagnostic laboratories/reputable databases classified this variant as pathogenic. One study of European cohorts detected more variant carriers in controls than in CRC patients, indicating a possibly protective role of variant against CRC (Ward_2011). Taken together, this variant is classified as pathogenic for ARPKD.

Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp RCV000004324 SCV000754648 pathogenic Autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease 2024-01-31 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing This sequence change replaces threonine, which is neutral and polar, with methionine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 36 of the PKHD1 protein (p.Thr36Met). This variant is present in population databases (rs137852944, gnomAD 0.09%), and has an allele count higher than expected for a pathogenic variant. This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD) (PMID: 11898128, 11919560, 12506140, 12846734, 15108281, 16199545, 21274727). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. It is commonly reported in individuals of European ancestry (PMID: 21274727). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 4108). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt PKHD1 protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.

Haplotype analysis studies indicate that the p.Thr36Met variant occurs in a mutational hotspot (Bergmann et al. 2004), and suggest that the variant may have a single European origin (Consugar et al. 2005). This variant was absent from 510 controls but is reported at a frequency of 0.000932 in the European (non-Finnish) population of the Genome Aggregation Database. Based on the collective evidence, the p.Thr36Met variant is classified as pathogenic for autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease. This variant was observed by ICSL as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population.

Molecular Genetics, Royal Melbourne Hospital RCV001535891 SCV002503829 pathogenic Polycystic kidney disease 4 2020-12-17 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing This sequence change is predicted to replace threonine with methionine at codon 36 of the PKHD1 protein (p.(Thr36Met)). The threonine residue is highly conserved (100 vertebrates, UCSC), and is located in the IPT 1 domain. There is a moderate physicochemical difference between threonine and methionine. The variant is present in a large population cohort at a frequency of 0.05% (rs137852944, 144/282,706 alleles, 0 homozygotes in gnomAD v2.1). This is a recurrent mutation that has been identified in the homozygous and compound heterozygous with a second pathogenic allele in multiple individuals with autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease ranging from severe to moderate phenotypes, and segregates with disease in multiple families (PMID: 11898128, 12506140). Multiple lines of computational evidence predict a deleterious effect for the missense substitution (6/6 algorithms). Based on the classification scheme RMH Modified ACMG Guidelines v1.3.1, this variant is classified as PATHOGENIC. Following criteria are met: PM3_VeryStrong, PP1_Strong, PP3.

Neuberg Centre For Genomic Medicine, NCGM RCV001535891 SCV004048579 pathogenic Polycystic kidney disease 4 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing The missense c.107C>T (p.Thr36Met) variant in PKHD1 gene has been reported in heterozygous and homozygous state in individuals affected with autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (Ward, Christopher J et al.,2002; Furu, Laszlo et al.,2004). The variant is a well known hotspot and has been previously described as pathogenic, segregating with disease in multiple families with ARPKD (Bergmann, C. et al., 2004). The variant is reported with the allele frequency 0.05% in the gnomAD and 0.01% in 1000 genome database. It has been submitted to ClinVar with varying interpretations: Pathogenic / Likely Pathogenic. The amino acid Thr at position 36 is changed to a Met changing protein sequence and it might alter its composition and physico-chemical properties. The variant is predicted to be damaging by both SIFT and PolyPhen2. The residue is conserved across species. The amino acid change p.Thr36Met in PKHD1 is predicted as conserved by GERP++ and PhyloP across 100 vertebrates. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.

Ambry Genetics RCV004018552 SCV005006765 pathogenic Inborn genetic diseases 2022-06-02 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing The c.107C>T (p.T36M) alteration is located in exon 3 (coding exon 2) of the PKHD1 gene. This alteration results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 107, causing the threonine (T) at amino acid position 36 to be replaced by a methionine (M). This common European mutation has been detected in multiple individuals with PKHD1-related polycystic kidney disease, in the homozygous state, the compound heterozygous state, and in the heterozygous state without a second alteration identified (Bergmann, 2003; Furu, 2003; Gunay-Aygun, 2010; Obeidova, 2015; Obeidova, 2020; Onuchic, 2002; Ward, 2011). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. This alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Based on the available evidence, this alteration is classified as pathogenic.

Sydney Genome Diagnostics, Children's Hospital Westmead RCV000004324 SCV001449403 pathogenic Autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease 2018-11-23 no assertion criteria provided clinical testing This individual is heterozygous for the c.107C>T variant in the PKHD1 gene, which results in the amino acid substitution of threonine to methionine at residue 36, p.(Thr36Met). This variant has been reported in the gnomAD browser (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org) with an allele frequency of 0.05% (144 out of 282,706 alleles). This variant, either observed as homozygous or compound heterozygous with another pathogenic variant, has been previously reported in patients with autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD; Bergmann et al 2005 Kid Int 67: 829-848, Bergmann et al 2003 J Am Soc Nephrol 13: 76-89, Obeidova et al 2015 BMC Med Genet 16:116). This variant accounts for approximately 15% of alleles in ARPKD patient of European ancestry. This variant is considered to pathogenic according to the ACMG guidelines (Evidence used: PM3_very strong, PP3, PP5).
Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, Sinai Health System RCV000626993 SCV001480955 pathogenic Polycystic kidney disease no assertion criteria provided clinical testing The PKHD1 p.Thr36Met variant was identified in 119 of 1331 proband chromosomes (frequency: 0.0939) from individuals or families with autosomal recessive hereditary polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD) (Adeva 2006, Bergmann 2003, Bergmann 2004a, Bergmann 2004b, Bergmann 2005, Denamur 2010, Furu 2004 , Gunay-Aygun 2010, Losekoot 2005, Rosetti 2003, Sharp 2005). The variant was also identified in dbSNP (ID: rs137852944) as “with pathogenic allele”, in ClinVar (as pathogenic by Emory Genetics, Center for Pediatric Genomic Medicine, Centre for Medelian Genomics and OMIM), LOVD 3.0, RWTH AAachen University ARPKD database (probably pathogenic). The variant was identified in control databases in 142 of 277030 chromosomes at a frequency of 0.000513 (Genome Aggregation Consortium Feb 27, 2017). The p.Thr36Met variant has been described in various PKHD1 mutation studies to date and accounts for approximately 20% of pathogenic alleles in PKHD1 (Bergmann, 2005). The variant may represent a founder effect in the Central European population where it is particularly frequent (Bergmann, 2005). However, there is compelling evidence that p.Thr36Met constitutes a mutational “hotspot,” most likely due to methylation induced deamination of the mutagenic CpG dinucleotide (Bergmann 2005). Study subjects with the p.Thr36Met variant are ethnically diverse and represent the full spectrum of clinical presentations for ARPKD (Sharp 2005). Additionally, Ward et al (2011) estimated that the carrier rate for PKHD1 pathogenic variants in the European population is 3.2% and p.Thr36Met was responsible for 13.1% of mutations (Ward 2011). The p.Thr36Met amino acid substitution represents a potential alternative initiation codon that is actually predicted to be stronger than the native start codon (Furu 2004). If the alternative start site were used exclusively in vivo, then the translation product would lack the leader sequence required for proper folding and p.Thr36Met may indeed behave like a complete loss of function allele akin to the chain-terminating mutations (Furu 2004). The p.Thr36Met residue is conserved across mammals and other organisms however computational analyses (PolyPhen-2, SIFT, AlignGVGD, BLOSUM, MutationTaster) do not suggest a high likelihood of impact to the protein; this information is not predictive enough to rule out pathogenicity. The variant occurs outside of the splicing consensus sequence and in silico or computational prediction software programs (SpliceSiteFinder, MaxEntScan, NNSPLICE, GeneSplicer, HumanSpliceFinder) do not predict a difference in splicing. In summary, based on the above information this variant meets our laboratory’s criteria to be classified as pathogenic.
