Genes affected

NR2E3 (HGNC:7974): (nuclear receptor subfamily 2 group E member 3) This protein is part of a large family of nuclear receptor transcription factors involved in signaling pathways. Nuclear receptors have been shown to regulate pathways involved in embryonic development, as well as in maintenance of proper cell function in adults. Members of this family are characterized by discrete domains that function in DNA and ligand binding. This gene encodes a retinal nuclear receptor that is a ligand-dependent transcription factor. Defects in this gene are a cause of enhanced S cone syndrome. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. Studies have shown that disruption of this splice site alters mRNA splicing and is expected to lead to the loss of protein expression (PMID: 18294254). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 1361677). Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individual(s) with autosomal recessive enhanced S-cone syndrome (PMID: 10655056, 24474277, 25079116). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change affects an acceptor splice site in intron 1 of the NR2E3 gene. It is expected to disrupt RNA splicing. Variants that disrupt the donor or acceptor splice site typically lead to a loss of protein function (PMID: 16199547), and loss-of-function variants in NR2E3 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 15459973, 27522502).
