Variant summary
Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 12 ACMG points: 12P and 0B. PM5PP3_ModeratePP5_Very_Strong
The NM_002905.5(RDH5):c.712G>T(p.Gly238Trp) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.000281 in 1,611,424 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic 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. G238A) has been classified as Likely pathogenic.

Pigmentary retinal dystrophy Pathogenic:6
The variant is observed at an extremely low frequency in the gnomAD v2.1.1 dataset (total allele frequency: 0.021%). Functional studies provide strong evidence of the variant having a damaging effect on the gene or gene product (PMID:11675386). In silico tool predictions suggest damaging effect of the variant on gene or gene product (REVEL: 0.92; 3Cnet: 0.72). Same nucleotide change resulting in same amino acid change has been previously reported as pathogenic/likely pathogenic with strong evidence (ClinVar ID: VCV000008003). The variant has been reported to co-segregate with the disease in at least one similarly affected relative/individual in the same family or similarly affected unrelated family (PMID:10369264, 10617778). Therefore, this variant is classified as pathogenic according to the recommendation of ACMG/AMP guideline.

RDH5: PM3:Strong, PP1:Strong, PM2, PS3:Supporting
This sequence change replaces glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, with tryptophan, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 238 of the RDH5 protein (p.Gly238Trp). This variant is present in population databases (rs62638191, gnomAD 0.05%). This missense change has been observed in individuals with fundus albipunctatus (PMID: 10369264, 10617778). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 8003). 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) has been performed for this missense variant. However, the output from this modeling did not meet the statistical confidence thresholds required to predict the impact of this variant on RDH5 protein function. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects RDH5 function (PMID: 11675386). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.
Published functional studies demonstrate a damaging effect; variant causes reduced enzymatic activity and different staining pattern with a strong perinuclear localization for G238W mutant cells compared to wild type (Liden et al., 2001; Yamamoto et al., 1999); In silico analysis, which includes protein predictors and evolutionary conservation, supports a deleterious effect; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 31456290, 32141364, 17476461, 20829743, 10617778, 18949499, 10369264, 11675386)

The RDH5 c.712G>T variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Gly238Trp. This variant has been reported in the homozygous and compound heterozygous states in individuals with autosomal recessive fundus albipunctatus (Yamamoto et al. 1999. PubMed ID: 10369264; Gonzalez-Fernandez et al. 1999. PubMed ID: 10617778). Functional studies have shown that the p.Gly238Trp substitution reduces enzyme activity by 90% (Yamamoto et al. 1999. PubMed ID: 10369264; Lidén et al. 2001. PubMed ID: 11675386). This variant is reported in 0.045% of alleles in individuals of Latino descent in gnomAD. Given the evidence, we interpret c.712G>T (p.Gly238Trp) as pathogenic.
