Primary ciliopathies are heterogenous disorders resulting from perturbations in primary cilia form and/or function. Primary cilia are cellular organelles which mediates key signaling pathways during development, including in the brain. The Sonic hedgehog (Shh) pathway is mediated by primary cilia and required for neuroepithelium and central nervous system development. The proteins which transduce Shh signaling are located within the primary cilia. Joubert syndrome is a primary ciliopathy characterized by cerebellar/brain stem malformation, hypotonia, and developmental delays. Variants in more than 35 genes are associated with Joubert syndrome, including the gene KIAA0753. KIAA0753 is localized at the basal body/centrosome and is part of a complex required for primary ciliogenesis. The phenotypic spectrum of human patients with biallelic pathogenic variants in KIAA0753 (OMIM 617127) is broad and not well-characterized. Here we describe four individuals with biallelic pathogenic KIAA0753 variants, including 5 novel variants. We report in vitro results assessing the function of each variant indicating that KIAA0753 protein is produced, but is not fully competent to promote primary ciliogenesis. Ablation of KIAA0753 in vitro blocks primary ciliogenesis and Shh pathway activity. Correspondingly, KIAA0753 patient fibroblasts have a deficit in primary ciliation and improper Shh and Wnt signaling, with a particularly blunted response to Shh pathway stimulation. Our work expands the phenotypic spectrum of KIAA0753 ciliopathies. We also demonstrate the utility of patient-focused functional assays for proving causality of genetic variants and understanding the relationship between variants and phenotypes as part of the ongoing effort to definitively categorize variants of unknown significance.
