Genes affected
RDH5 (HGNC:9940): (retinol dehydrogenase 5) This gene encodes an enzyme belonging to the short-chain dehydrogenases/reductases (SDR) family. This retinol dehydrogenase functions to catalyze the final step in the biosynthesis of 11-cis retinaldehyde, which is the universal chromophore of visual pigments. Mutations in this gene cause autosomal recessive fundus albipunctatus, a rare form of night blindness that is characterized by a delay in the regeneration of cone and rod photopigments. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. Read-through transcription also exists between this gene and the neighboring upstream BLOC1S1 (biogenesis of lysosomal organelles complex-1, subunit 1) gene. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2010]
CD63 (HGNC:1692): (CD63 molecule) The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the transmembrane 4 superfamily, also known as the tetraspanin family. Most of these members are cell-surface proteins that are characterized by the presence of four hydrophobic domains. The proteins mediate signal transduction events that play a role in the regulation of cell development, activation, growth and motility. The encoded protein is a cell surface glycoprotein that is known to complex with integrins. It may function as a blood platelet activation marker. Deficiency of this protein is associated with Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome. Also this gene has been associated with tumor progression. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different protein isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2012]

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.

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.
