Variant summary

Our verdict is Uncertain significance. The variant received 1 ACMG points: 1P and 0B. PP2

The NM_000180.4(GUCY2D):​c.16_18delCGCinsTGT​(p.Arg6Cys) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. It is difficult to determine the true allele frequency of this variant because it is of type MNV, and the frequency of such variant types in population databases may be underestimated and unreliable. No clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar. Another nucleotide change resulting in the same amino acid substitution has been previously reported as Uncertain significance in ClinVar. The gene GUCY2D is included in the ClinGen Criteria Specification Registry.

Genes affected

GUCY2D (HGNC:4689): (guanylate cyclase 2D, retinal) This gene encodes a retina-specific guanylate cyclase, which is a member of the membrane guanylyl cyclase family. Like other membrane guanylyl cyclases, this enzyme has a hydrophobic amino-terminal signal sequence followed by a large extracellular domain, a single membrane spanning domain, a kinase homology domain, and a guanylyl cyclase catalytic domain. In contrast to other membrane guanylyl cyclases, this enzyme is not activated by natriuretic peptides. Mutations in this gene result in Leber congenital amaurosis and cone-rod dystrophy-6 diseases.

ACMG classification

Specifications for GUCY2D are available in the ClinGen Criteria Specification Registry and recommended for reference when assigning criteria.

Our verdict: Uncertain_significance. The variant received 1 ACMG points.

• PP2: Missense variant in the gene, where a lot of missense mutations are associated with disease in ClinVar. The gene has 55 curated pathogenic missense variants (we use a threshold of 10). The gene has 15 curated benign missense variants. Gene score misZ: 0.78087 (below the threshold of 3.09). Trascript score misZ: 0.0082692 (below the threshold of 3.09). GenCC associations: The gene is linked to Leber congenital amaurosis 1, cone-rod dystrophy, central areolar choroidal dystrophy, GUCY2D-related dominant retinopathy, cone-rod dystrophy 6, Leber congenital amaurosis, night blindness, congenital stationary, type1i, GUCY2D-related recessive retinopathy.
