[ACMG/AMP: PVS1, PM2, PS4_Moderate, PP1] This alteration is a null variant in a gene where LOF is a known mechanism of disease [PVS1], is absent from or rarely observed in large-scale population databases [PM2], has previously been observed in multiple unrelated patients with the same phenotype [PS4_Moderate], has been shown to cosegregate with disease in multiple affected family members [PP1]. -

ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 56550). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg279*) in the KERA gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in KERA are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 10802664, 16234475, 31059048). This variant is present in population databases (rs386833986, gnomAD 0.01%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individuals with cornea plana (PMID: 16234475, 23834557). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
