Genes affected
CRX (HGNC:2383): (cone-rod homeobox) The protein encoded by this gene is a photoreceptor-specific transcription factor which plays a role in the differentiation of photoreceptor cells. This homeodomain protein is necessary for the maintenance of normal cone and rod function. Mutations in this gene are associated with photoreceptor degeneration, Leber congenital amaurosis type III and the autosomal dominant cone-rod dystrophy 2. Several alternatively spliced transcript variants of this gene have been described, but the full-length nature of some variants has not been determined. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

This sequence change replaces alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, with threonine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 15 of the CRX protein (p.Ala15Thr). This variant is present in population databases (rs559181643, gnomAD 0.004%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with CRX-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 1413008). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt CRX protein function with a negative predictive value of 95%. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
