Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 16 ACMG points: 16P and 0B. PM1 PM2 PM5 PP3_Moderate PP5_Very_Strong

The NM_004183.4(BEST1):​c.11C>T​(p.Thr4Ile) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. 12/18 in silico tools predict a damaging outcome for this variant. 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. T4A) has been classified as Likely 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

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 16 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a topological_domain Cytoplasmic (size 24) in uniprot entity BEST1_HUMAN there are 59 pathogenic changes around while only 0 benign (100%) 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 chr11-61951816-A-G is described in Lovd as [Likely_pathogenic].
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.922
• PP5: Variant 11-61951817-C-T is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr11-61951817-C-T is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 870721.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars. Variant chr11-61951817-C-T is described in Lovd as [Likely_pathogenic].

This sequence change replaces threonine, which is neutral and polar, with isoleucine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 4 of the BEST1 protein (p.Thr4Ile). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individuals with autosomal dominant Best vitelliform macular dystrophy (PMID: 21273940, 25489231, 31570112). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 870721). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt BEST1 protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
