Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely benign. Variant got -6 ACMG points: 0P and 6B. BP4BS1BP7

This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: The c.644-42del variant in RPE65, is an intronic variant which is present outside of consensus splice sites. The splicing impact predictor SpliceAI gives a delta score of 0.09, which is below the ClinGen LCA / eoRD VCEP recommended threshold of <0.1 and does not predict an impact on splicing (BP4, BP7). In addition, the PhyloP score was -2.63 which is below the ClinGen LCA / eoRD VCEP recommended threshold of <0.1, which depicts that the nucleotide is not highly conserved. This intronic variant is present in gnomAD v.2.1.1 at a GrpMax allele frequency of 0.000827, with 26/24712 in the African/ African-American population, which is higher than the ClinGen LCA / eoRD VCEP BS1 threshold of >0.0008 (BS1). In summary this variant meets criteria to be classified as Likely Benign for Leber congenital amaurosis (RPE65) based on the ACMG/AMP criteria (codes met: BP4, BP7, BS1). (VCEP specifications version 1.0.0; date of approval 09/21/2023). LINK:https://erepo.genome.network/evrepo/ui/classification/CA226572/MONDO:0100368/120

Genes affected
RPE65 (HGNC:10294): (retinoid isomerohydrolase RPE65) The protein encoded by this gene is a component of the vitamin A visual cycle of the retina which supplies the 11-cis retinal chromophore of the photoreceptors opsin visual pigments. It is a member of the carotenoid cleavage oxygenase superfamily. All members of this superfamily are non-heme iron oxygenases with a seven-bladed propeller fold and oxidatively cleave carotenoid carbon:carbon double bonds. However, the protein encoded by this gene has acquired a divergent function that involves the concerted O-alkyl ester cleavage of its all-trans retinyl ester substrate and all-trans to 11-cis double bond isomerization of the retinyl moiety. As such, it performs the essential enzymatic isomerization step in the synthesis of 11-cis retinal. Mutations in this gene are associated with early-onset severe blinding disorders such as Leber congenital. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2017]

RPE65-related recessive retinopathy Benign:1
Likely benign, reviewed by expert panelcurationClinGen Leber Congenital Amaurosis/early Onset Retinal Dystrophy Variant Curation Expert Panel, ClinGenApr 22, 2024The c.644-42del variant in RPE65, is an intronic variant which is present outside of consensus splice sites. The splicing impact predictor SpliceAI gives a delta score of 0.09, which is below the ClinGen LCA / eoRD VCEP recommended threshold of <0.1 and does not predict an impact on splicing (BP4, BP7). In addition, the PhyloP score was -2.63 which is below the ClinGen LCA / eoRD VCEP recommended threshold of <0.1, which depicts that the nucleotide is not highly conserved. This intronic variant is present in gnomAD v.2.1.1 at a GrpMax allele frequency of 0.000827, with 26/24712 in the African/ African-American population, which is higher than the ClinGen LCA / eoRD VCEP BS1 threshold of >0.0008 (BS1). In summary this variant meets criteria to be classified as Likely Benign for Leber congenital amaurosis (RPE65) based on the ACMG/AMP criteria (codes met: BP4, BP7, BS1).
