Description

Based on the classification scheme VCGS_Germline_v1.3.4, this variant is classified as VUS-3A. Following criteria are met: 0102 - Loss of function is a known mechanism of disease in this gene and is associated with polycystic kidney disease 4, with or without hepatic disease (MIM#263200). (I) 0106 - This gene is associated with autosomal recessive disease; however, there are emerging reports of heterozygous carriers of PKHD1 variants developing liver cysts and nephrocalcinosis (PMID: 21945273). (I) 0115 - Variants in this gene are known to have variable expressivity. Significant intrafamilial variability has been reported (PMID: 20301501). (I) 0200 - Variant is predicted to result in a missense amino acid change from valine to methionine. (I) 0251 - This variant is heterozygous. (I) 0304 - Variant is present in gnomAD (v2) <0.01 (9 heterozygotes, 0 homozygotes). (SP) 0502 - Missense variant with conflicting in silico predictions and uninformative conservation. (I) 0604 - Variant is not located in an established domain, motif, hotspot or informative constraint region. (I) 0705 - No comparable missense variants have previous evidence for pathogenicity. (I) 0808 - Previous reports of pathogenicity for this variant are conflicting. This variant has been classified as pathogenic, likely pathogenic and as a VUS by clinical laboratories in ClinVar. This variant has also been observed in the literature as a single heterozygous variant, with other PKHD1 variants (not confirmed to be in trans), and also as homozygous in individuals with ARPKD or related phenotypes (PMIDs: 21945273, 11919560, 12846734, 19914852, 20413436, 30773290, 35372954). (I) 1208 - Inheritance information for this variant is not currently available in this individual. (I) Legend: (SP) - Supporting pathogenic, (I) - Information, (SB) - Supporting benign
