Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 11 ACMG points: 11P and 0B. PP4_ModeratePVS1PM2_Supporting

This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: The NM_000329.3(RPE65):c.361dup (p.Ser121fs) frameshift variant introduces a premature stop codon in exon 5 of 14 and is predicted to trigger nonsense-mediated decay (PVS1). It is reported in the literature in a compound heterozygous state in at least one proband (by whole exome sequencing) who was diagnosed with Leber congenital amaurosis and exhibits infantile onset (1 pt), reduced visual acuity (1 pt), nyctalopia (required, 0.5 pts), light gazing (1 pt), nystagmus (1 pt), RPE mottling (0.5 pt), attenuated retinal vessels (0.5 pt), flat rod ERG (required, 1 pt), and flat cone ERG (1 pt), which together is highly specific for RPE65-related recessive retinopathy (PMID:30870047, PP4_Moderate). This variant is absent from gnomAD v2.1.1 (PM2_Supporting). In summary, this variant meets the criteria to be classified as Pathogenic for RPE65-related recessive retinopathy based on the ACMG/AMP criteria applied, as specified by the ClinGen LCA/eoRD VCEP: PVS1, PP4_Moderate, and PM2_Supporting.

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]

Leber congenital amaurosis 2;C3151086:Retinitis pigmentosa 20 Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLabcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), LabcorpMay 10, 2018This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Ser121Phefs*10) in the RPE65 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This variant has been observed in an individual affected with Leber's congenital amaurosis (PMID: 24066033). Loss-of-function variants in RPE65 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 9326941, 9501220). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
