Variant summary

Our verdict is Uncertain significance. The variant received 3 ACMG points: 3P and 0B. PM4 PP3

The NM_000180.4(GUCY2D):​c.238_252dupGCCGCCGCCCGCCTG​(p.Ala80_Leu84dup) variant causes a conservative inframe insertion change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000149 in 1,346,680 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. It is difficult to determine the true allele frequency of this variant because it is of type INS_BIG, and the frequency of such variant types in population databases may be underestimated and unreliable. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. N85N) has been classified as Likely benign. 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.
