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]

Ocular Genomics Institute, Massachusetts Eye and Ear
Significance:Pathogenic
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:research

The SPATA7 c.322C>T variant was identified in an individual with retinitis pigmentosa with a presumed recessive inheritance pattern. Through a review of available evidence we were able to apply the following criteria: PVS1, PM2, PP1. Based on this evidence we have classified this variant as Pathogenic. -

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg108*) 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). This variant is present in population databases (rs80044281, gnomAD 0.01%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individuals with Leber congenital amaurosis or retinitis pigmentosa (PMID: 19268277, 22334370). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 1395). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Collection Method:clinical testing

Variant summary: SPATA7 c.322C>T (p.Arg108X) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which is a commonly known mechanism for disease. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 3.2e-05 in 250260 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.322C>T has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Leber Congenital Amaurosis (e.g. Xiao_2019). The following publication has been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 31908400). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 1395). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

SPATA7-related disorder Pathogenic:1

Illumina Laboratory Services, Illumina
Significance:Likely pathogenic
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The SPATA7 c.322C>T (p.Arg108Ter) variant is stop-gained variant predicted to result in premature termination of the protein. The p.Arg108Ter variant has been reported in four studies in which it was identified in a total of seven patients with Leber congenital amaurosis, including four homozygotes and one compound heterozygote, and two compound heterozygotes with autosomal recessive retinitis pigmentosa (Wang et al. 2009; Perrault et al. 2010; Neveling et al. 2012; Xu et al. 2014). The variant was also found in a heterozygous state in six unaffected family members of patients. The variant was absent from at least 150 control individuals but is reported at a frequency of 0.00005 in the European (non-Finnish) population of the Exome Aggregation Consortium. Based on the evidence, the p.Arg108Ter variant is classified as pathogenic for SPATA7-related disorders. This variant was observed by ICSL as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. -
