Green List (high evidence)

Comment on list classification: There are three unrelated probands reported with biallelic CEP164 variants and non-CF bronchiectasis. Hence, this gene can be promoted to green rating in the next GMS update.

The ClinGen Kidney Cystic and Ciliopathy Disorders expert panel has classified the association of CEP164 gene to ciliopathy (MONDO:0005308) as 'Definitive'. More information can be found in https://search.clinicalgenome.org/CCID:004416.

As per ClinGen curation, seven different variants have been reported in 6 probands in four publications (PMIDs: 22863007, 34132027, 27708425, 36273371), of which 3 probands have been associated with non-CF bronchiectasis. Two of them also had cough, pneumonia, rhinitis and/ or recurrent infections.

PMID:22863007 - This study reported four different patients with biallelic CEP164 variants, of which one patient with homozygous variant (p.Arg576Ter) had cerebeller vermis hypoplasia, facial dysmorphism, obesity, bronchiectasis and polydactyly in addition to nephronophthisis.

PMID:34556108 - 21 probands from the PCD cohort and 52 probands from non-CF bronchiectasis cohort were recruited in Wessex Genome Medicine Centre (GMC) and their genomes sequenced as part of Genomics England 100k genomes project. Compound heterozygous variants in CEP164 (p.Gln1410Ter/ p.Arg576Ter) were reported in one of these probands from non-CF bronchiectasis cohort.

PMID:36273371 - A patient with bronchiectasis was reported with atypical motile ciliopathy phenotype and the same compound heterozygous CEP164 variants as above.
