Genes affected

RAX2 (HGNC:18286): (retina and anterior neural fold homeobox 2) This gene encodes a homeodomain-containing protein that plays a role in eye development. Mutation of this gene causes age-related macular degeneration type 6, an eye disorder resulting in accumulations of protein and lipid beneath the retinal pigment epithelium and within the Bruch's membrane. Defects in this gene can also cause cone-rod dystrophy type 11, a disease characterized by the initial degeneration of cone photoreceptor cells and resulting in loss of color vision and visual acuity, followed by the degeneration of rod photoreceptor cells, which progresses to night blindness and the loss of peripheral vision. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2016]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Likely_benign. Variant got -3 ACMG points.

• PM4: Nonframeshift variant in NON repetitive region in NM_001319074.4.
• BS1: Variant frequency is greater than expected in population sas. gnomad4 allele frequency = 0.000144 (22/152312) while in subpopulation SAS AF= 0.00352 (17/4834). AF 95% confidence interval is 0.00224. There are 0 homozygotes in gnomad4. There are 13 alleles in male gnomad4 subpopulation. Median coverage is 33. This position pass quality control queck. Existence of Clinvar submissions makes me limit the strength of this signal to Supporting
• BS2: High Homozygotes in GnomAdExome4 at 4 AD,AR gene

Pathogenic, no assertion criteria provided	literature only	OMIM	May 15, 2004	- -
Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Breakthrough Genomics, Breakthrough Genomics	Sep 24, 2020	This variant (reported as, 140P_141Gdup) was previously reported in a patient with cone-rod dystrophy in heterozygous state and also identified in the proband's mother and two siblings with normal vision but possibility of mild CORD could not be excluded in them as mentioned in the article. Functional studies using co-immunoprecipitation analysis suggested proteins with the variant have decreased interaction with Crx and increased transactivation activity [PMID: 15028672]. -
