Genes affected
RDH12 (HGNC:19977): (retinol dehydrogenase 12) The protein encoded by this gene is an NADPH-dependent retinal reductase whose highest activity is toward 9-cis and all-trans-retinol. The encoded enzyme also plays a role in the metabolism of short-chain aldehydes but does not exhibit steroid dehydrogenase activity. Defects in this gene are a cause of Leber congenital amaurosis type 13 and Retinitis Pigmentosa 53. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2015]
GPHN (HGNC:15465): (gephyrin) This gene encodes a neuronal assembly protein that anchors inhibitory neurotransmitter receptors to the postsynaptic cytoskeleton via high affinity binding to a receptor subunit domain and tubulin dimers. In nonneuronal tissues, the encoded protein is also required for molybdenum cofactor biosynthesis. Mutations in this gene may be associated with the neurological condition hyperplexia and also lead to molybdenum cofactor deficiency. Numerous alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described; however, the full-length nature of all transcript variants is not currently known.

Leber congenital amaurosis 13 Pathogenic:8

Significance: Pathogenic
Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method: research

The homozygous p.Thr49Met variant in RDH12 was identified by our study in 1 individual with Leber congenital amaurosis. Please note that this variant has been identified by a collaborative research study and was also be submitted by Massachusetts Eye and Ear. The variant in RDH12 has been reported in at least 9 individuals with Leber congenital amaurosis, including the one from our study, individuals, and segregated with disease in 6 affected relatives from 1 family (PMID: 32014858, 24474277). This variant has been identified in 0.010% (2/19948) of East Asian chromosomes by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org; dbSNP: rs28940314). Although this variant has been seen in the general population, its frequency is low enough to be consistent with a recessive carrier frequency. This variant has also been reported in ClinVar as pathogenic by Invitae, OMIM, Ocular Genomics Institute Massachusetts Eye and Ear, Sharon lab, Hadassah-Hebrew University Medical Center (Variation ID: 2049). The presence of this variant in at least 2 affected homozygotes, and in at least 2 individuals with Leber congenital amaurosis increases the likelihood that the p.Thr49Met variant is pathogenic (PMID: 24474277). In vitro functional studies provide some evidence that the p.Thr49Met variant may impact protein function (PMID: 20006610, 16269441). However, these types of assays may not accurately represent biological function. Computational prediction tools and conservation analyses suggest that this variant may impact the protein. In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for Leber congenital amaurosis in an autosomal recessive manner based on the established functional studies performed, segregation with disease in multiple affected individuals, and the occurrence of multiple affected homozygotes.

The missense variant c.146C>T (p.Thr49Met) in the RDH12 gene has been reported previously in heterozygous and homozygous state in individuals affected with RDH12-associated retinal disease. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects RDH12 function (Scott et al., 2020; Lee et al., 2010). This variant is reported with the allele frequency (0.001%) in the gnomAD. It is submitted to ClinVar with varying interpretation as Pathogenic/ Likely Pathogenic. The amino acid Threonine at position 49 is changed to a Methionine changing protein sequence and it might alter its composition and physico-chemical properties. The variant is predicted as damaging by SIFT. The amino acid change p.Thr49Met in RDH12 is predicted as conserved by GERP++ and PhyloP across 100 vertebrates. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

This sequence change replaces threonine, which is neutral and polar, with methionine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 49 of the RDH12 protein (p.Thr49Met). This variant is present in population databases (rs28940314, gnomAD 0.01%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with autosomal recessive retinal disease (PMID: 15258582, 24474277). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 2049). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt RDH12 protein function with a positive predictive value of 80%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects RDH12 function (PMID: 20006610). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Published functional studies demonstrate a damaging effect with altered enzyme activity and increased protein misfolding and degradation (PMID: 15258582, 20006610, 21232531); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 16269441, 32531858, 33970760, 23847139, 15258582, 20006610, 21232531, 24474277, 29068479, 30029497, 22065924, 31054281, 31456290, 32865313, 33090715, 32014858, 33608557, 35775617, 31964843, 36460718, 36729443, 36819107, 34906470) -

Variant summary: RDH12 c.146C>T (p.Thr49Met) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 1.6e-05 in 251484 control chromosomes. c.146C>T has been reported in the literature as homozygous and compound heterozygous genotypes in multiple individuals affected with Leber Congenital Amaurosis (example, Beryozkin_2014, Wang_2013). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. At least one publication reports experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function (example, Lee_2010). The most pronounced variant effect results in accelarated degradation and significant accumulation of ubiquitylated variant protein indicative of the contribution of the ubiquitin-proteasome system to the pathophysiology of RDH12-associated disease. Seven clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. All laboratories classified the variant as pathogenic/likely pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
