Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely pathogenic. The variant received 9 ACMG points: 9P and 0B. PM1 PM2 PM5 PP2 PP5_Moderate

The NM_004183.4(BEST1):​c.9C>G​(p.Ile3Met) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Likely pathogenic (★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. I3N) has been classified as Pathogenic.

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]

ACMG classification

Our verdict: Likely_pathogenic. The variant received 9 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a hotspot region, there are 6 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 0 benign, 3 uncertain in NM_004183.4
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PM5: Other missense variant is known to change same aminoacid residue: Variant chr11-61951814-T-A is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 1503600.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.
• PP2: Missense variant in the gene, where a lot of missense mutations are associated with disease in ClinVar. The gene has 209 curated pathogenic missense variants (we use a threshold of 10). The gene has 23 curated benign missense variants. Gene score misZ: 0.61695 (below the threshold of 3.09). Trascript score misZ: 0.88358 (below the threshold of 3.09). GenCC associations: The gene is linked to vitelliform macular dystrophy 2, MRCS syndrome, autosomal recessive bestrophinopathy, autosomal dominant vitreoretinochoroidopathy, retinitis pigmentosa, retinitis pigmentosa 50, inherited retinal dystrophy, adult-onset foveomacular vitelliform dystrophy, nanophthalmia.
• PP5: Variant 11-61951815-C-G is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr11-61951815-C-G is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 3634167.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.

This sequence change replaces isoleucine, which is neutral and non-polar, with methionine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 3 of the BEST1 protein (p.Ile3Met). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with BEST1-related conditions. Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt BEST1 protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. This variant disrupts the p.Ile3 amino acid residue in BEST1. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 26099059; Invitae). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. 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. -
