Genes affected

BEST1 (HGNC:12703): (bestrophin 1) This gene encodes a member of the bestrophin gene family. This small gene family is characterized by proteins with a highly conserved N-terminus with four to six transmembrane domains. Bestrophins may form chloride ion channels or may regulate voltage-gated L-type calcium-ion channels. Bestrophins are generally believed to form calcium-activated chloride-ion channels in epithelial cells but they have also been shown to be highly permeable to bicarbonate ion transport in retinal tissue. Mutations in this gene are responsible for juvenile-onset vitelliform macular dystrophy (VMD2), also known as Best macular dystrophy, in addition to adult-onset vitelliform macular dystrophy (AVMD) and other retinopathies. Alternative splicing results in multiple variants encoding distinct isoforms.[provided by RefSeq, Nov 2008]

In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. Variants that disrupt the consensus splice site are a relatively common cause of aberrant splicing (PMID: 17576681, 9536098). Studies have shown that this variant is associated with altered splicing resulting in inclusion of the entire intron 1 sequence (PMID: 25545482). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 2137109). This variant is also known as IVS1+5G>A, c.-29+5G>A. This variant has been observed in individuals with clinical features of autosomal recessive bestrophinopathy (PMID: 25545482, 32141364; Invitae). This variant is present in population databases (no rsID available, gnomAD 0.007%). This variant occurs in a non-coding region of the BEST1 gene. It does not change the encoded amino acid sequence of the BEST1 protein. It affects a nucleotide within the consensus splice site. -
