Genes affected
SPATA7 (HGNC:20423): (spermatogenesis associated 7) This gene, originally isolated from testis, is also expressed in retina. Mutations in this gene are associated with Leber congenital amaurosis and juvenile retinitis pigmentosa. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, May 2010]

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLabcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), LabcorpOct 23, 2022For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 30806). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with inherited retinal disease (PMID: 21310915, 25133751). This variant is present in population databases (rs140287375, gnomAD 0.05%). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg85*) in the SPATA7 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in SPATA7 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 19268277, 22334370, 23847139, 26047050, 26261414). -

SPATA7-related disorder Pathogenic:2
Pathogenic, no assertion criteria providedclinical testingPreventionGenetics, part of Exact SciencesSep 09, 2024The SPATA7 c.253C>T variant is predicted to result in premature protein termination (p.Arg85*). This variant has been reported many times in both the homozygous and compound heterozygous states in individuals with Leber congenital amaurosis (see for examples: Mackay et al. 2011. PubMed ID: 21310915; Table S2, Liu et al. 2020. PubMed ID: 33090715; Table S1, Lin et al. 2024. PubMed ID: 38219857). This variant is reported in 0.053% of alleles in individuals of South Asian descent in gnomAD. Nonsense variants in SPATA7 are an established mechanism of disease. This variant is interpreted as pathogenic. -
Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingIllumina Laboratory Services, IlluminaNov 12, 2018The SPATA7 c.253C>T (p.Arg85Ter) variant is a stop-gained variant that is predicted to result in premature termination of the protein. The p.Arg85Ter variant has been reported three studies in which it is found in a homozygous state in a total of five affected individuals from four unrelated families (Mackay et al. 2011; Avila-Fernandez et al. 2011; Watson et al. 2014). These individuals presented with a range of phenotypes of ocular dystrophies including Leber congenital amaurosis, late onset retinal pigmentosa, and cone rod dystrophy. Control data are unavailable for this variant, which is reported at a frequency of 0.000364 in the South Asian population of the Genome Aggregation Database. Based on the potential impact of stop-gained variants and clinical evidence, the p.Arg85Ter variant is classified as likely pathogenic for SPATA7-related disorders. This variant was observed by ICSL as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. -
