Genes affected
CEP290 (HGNC:29021): (centrosomal protein 290) This gene encodes a protein with 13 putative coiled-coil domains, a region with homology to SMC chromosome segregation ATPases, six KID motifs, three tropomyosin homology domains and an ATP/GTP binding site motif A. The protein is localized to the centrosome and cilia and has sites for N-glycosylation, tyrosine sulfation, phosphorylation, N-myristoylation, and amidation. Mutations in this gene have been associated with Joubert syndrome and nephronophthisis and the presence of antibodies against this protein is associated with several forms of cancer.

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (GRCh38; NM_025114.4:c.1666del:p.Ile556PhefsTer17) in the CEP290 protein. This alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature termination codon resulting in protein truncation, or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. This alteration is interpreted as disease-causing mutation, a commonly known mechanism for disease. Well-established in-vitro or in-vivo functional studies supportive of a damaging effect on the gene or gene product PMID: 29771326 ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 217622). This variant is associated with the following publications: PubMed: 26047050, 17564967, 26092869, 29771326, 27491411 In summary, this variant meets our criteria for classification as pathogenic based on the evidence outlined. -

The variant is observed at an extremely low frequency in the gnomAD v2.1.1 dataset (total allele frequency: 0.140%). Predicted Consequence/Location: Frameshift: predicted to result in a loss or disruption of normal protein function through nonsense-mediated decay (NMD) or protein truncation. Multiple pathogenic variants are reported downstream of the variant. The variant has been reported to be in trans with a pathogenic variant as either compound heterozygous or homozygous in at least one similarly affected unrelated individual (3billion dataset). The variant has been reported at least twice as pathogenic with clinical assertions and evidence for the classification (ClinVar ID: VCV000217622 /PMID: 17564967 /3billion dataset). Therefore, this variant is classified as Pathogenic according to the recommendation of ACMG/AMP guideline. -

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Ile556Phefs*17) in the CEP290 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in CEP290 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 16909394, 17345604, 20690115). The frequency data for this variant in the population databases is considered unreliable, as metrics indicate poor data quality at this position in the gnomAD database. This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individuals with Joubert syndrome (PMID: 26047050, 26092869, 27491411). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 217622). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Collection Method:clinical testing

The CEP290 c.1666delA variant is predicted to result in a frameshift and premature protein termination (p.Ile556Phefs*17). This variant in the homozygous or compound heterozygous state has been reported to be causative for CEP290-related disorders (Brancati et al. 2007. PubMed ID: 17564967; Wang et al. 2015. PubMed ID: 26047050; Zhu et al. 2021. PubMed ID: 33970760). This variant had been reported in 0.18% of alleles in individuals of European (Non-Finnish) descent in gnomAD 2.1.1 (as displayed in the table above). However, due to technical limitations, these numbers were not reliable. With a higher quality data in gnomAD V4 dataset, this variant has been identified at a maximum frequency of 0.0457% of alleles in individuals of South Asian descent. Frameshift variants in CEP290 are expected to be pathogenic. This variant is interpreted as pathogenic. -
