Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 10 ACMG points: 10P and 0B. PVS1 PM2_Supporting PM3_Supporting

This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: NM_000180.4(GUCY2D):c.2766C>G (p.Tyr922Ter) is a nonsense variant that introduces a premature stop codon into exon 15 of 20, and is predicted to lead to nonsense-mediated decay in a gene in which loss-of-function is an established mechanism of disease (PVS1). This variant is absent from gnomAD v4.1.0 (PM2_Supporting). This variant has been reported in at least 1 proband with early-onset severe retinal dystrophy who was homozygous for the variant (0.5 points, VCEP member-provided data, PM3_Supporting). In summary, this variant meets the criteria to be classified as pathogenic for GUCY2D-related recessive retinopathy based on the ACMG/AMP criteria applied, as specified by the ClinGen LCA/eoRD VCEP: PVS1, PM2_Supporting, and PM3_Supporting. (VCEP specifications version 1.0.0; date of approval 01/22/2025). LINK:https://erepo.genome.network/evrepo/ui/classification/CA287533367/MONDO:0100453/167

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.
