Genes affected

RB1 (HGNC:9884): (RB transcriptional corepressor 1) The protein encoded by this gene is a negative regulator of the cell cycle and was the first tumor suppressor gene found. The encoded protein also stabilizes constitutive heterochromatin to maintain the overall chromatin structure. The active, hypophosphorylated form of the protein binds transcription factor E2F1. Defects in this gene are a cause of childhood cancer retinoblastoma (RB), bladder cancer, and osteogenic sarcoma. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

The RB1 c.751C>T (p.Arg251Ter) change is a nonsense variant that is predicted to cause premature protein truncation or absence of protein due to nonsense-mediated decay. This variant has been reported in individuals with retinoblastoma (PMID: 25928201, 33456302, internal data). This variant is also absent in gnomAD v2.1.1. In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic. -

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg251*) in the RB1 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in RB1 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 17096365). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with familial and sporadic retinoblastoma (PMID: 7704558, 22963398, 23595191, 24688104, 24791139, 25754945, 25928201, 26396485, 26539030, 27582626). In at least one individual the variant was observed to be de novo. It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 428681). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

The RB1 c.751C>T variant is classified as Pathogenic (PVS1, PM2, PS4_moderate) The RB1 c.751C>T variant is a single nucleotide change in exon 8/27 which is predicted to result in premature termination of the protein product at codon 251 (PVS1). The variant has been reported in multiple unrelated individuals with a clinical presentation of retinoblastoma (PMID: 8651278, 14722923, 17096365, 34294096) (PS4_Moderate). This variant is absent from population databases (PM2). The variant has been reported in dbSNP (rs1131690863) and in the HGMD database as disease causing (CM941204). It has been reported as pathogenic by other diagnostic laboratories (ClinVar Variation ID: 428681) and in the RB1 lsdb (RB1_000062). -

The p.R251* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.751C>T), located in coding exon 8 of the RB1 gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 751. This changes the amino acid from an arginine to a stop codon within coding exon 8. This mutation has been reported in multiple patients diagnosed unilateral or bilateral retinoblastoma (Shahraki K et al. Eye (Lond). 2017 Apr;31:620-627; He MY et al. Mol Vis. 2014 Apr;20:545-52; Saliminejad K et al. J. Genet. 2013 May;92:e36-40; Ahani A et al. Cancer Genet. 2011 Jun;204:316-22; Pradhan MA et al. Clin. Experiment. Ophthalmol. 2010 Apr;38:231-6; Abouzeid H et al. Mol. Vis. 2007 Sep;13:1740-5; Houdayer C et al. Hum. Mutat. 2004 Feb;23:193-202; Lohmann DR et al. Am. J. Hum. Genet. 1996 May;58:940-9). Of note, this mutation is also designated as g.59683C>T in some published literature. This variant was not reported in population-based cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). In addition to the clinical data presented in the literature, this alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. As such, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -
