A genotype-to-phenotype approach suggests under-reporting of single nucleotide variants in nephrocystin-1 (NPHP1) related disease (UK 100,000 Genomes Project).

ABSTRACT: Autosomal recessive whole gene deletions of nephrocystin-1 (NPHP1) result in abnormal structure and function of the primary cilia. These deletions can result in a tubulointerstitial kidney disease known as nephronophthisis and retinal (Senior-Løken syndrome) and neurological (Joubert syndrome) diseases. Nephronophthisis is a common cause of end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) in children and up to 1% of adult onset ESKD. Single nucleotide variants (SNVs) and small insertions and deletions (Indels) have been less well characterised. We used a gene pathogenicity scoring system (GenePy) and a genotype-to-phenotype approach on individuals recruited to the UK Genomics England (GEL) 100,000 Genomes Project (100kGP) (n = 78,050). This approach identified all participants with NPHP1-related diseases r
