Genes affected
FAM161A (HGNC:25808): (FAM161 centrosomal protein A) This gene belongs to the FAM161 family. It is expressed mainly in the retina. Mouse studies suggested that this gene is involved in development of retinal progenitors during embryogenesis, and that its activity is restricted to mature photoreceptors after birth. Mutations in this gene cause autosomal recessive retinitis pigmentosa-28. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been identified.[provided by RefSeq, Jan 2011]

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg437*) in the FAM161A gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in FAM161A are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 20705278, 20705279, 24651477). This variant is present in population databases (rs200691042, gnomAD 0.05%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individuals with FAM161A-related conditions (PMID: 20705278, 26113502, 26574802). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 36). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:curation

The p.Arg437Ter variant in FAM161A was identified in an individual with Retinitis pigmentosa, via a collaborative study between the Broad Institute's Center for Mendelian Genomics and the Pierce lab (https://oculargenomics.meei.harvard.edu/labs/pierce-lab/lab-members/). Through a review of available evidence we were able to apply the following criteria: PVS1, PM2, PM3. Based on this evidence we have classified this variant as Pathogenic. If you have any questions about the classification please reach out to the Pierce Lab. -

The FAM161A c.1309A>T (p.Arg437Ter) variant has been reported in at least five studies in 18 individuals with autosomal recessive retinitis pigmentosa, including 12 in a homozygous state, five in a compound heterozygous state, and one in a heterozygous state in whom a second variant was not identified (Langmann et al. 2010; Wang et al. 2014; Rose et al. 2015; Van Schil et al. 2015; van Huet et al. 2015). These patients were unrelated, except for two sets of siblings who were homozygous for the p.Arg437Ter variant (Van Schil et al. 2015; Rose et al. 2015). The p.Arg437Ter variant was absent from 400 control chromosomes and is reported at a frequency of 0.00061 in the European American population of the Exome Sequencing Project. Based on the collective evidence, the p.Arg437Ter variant is classified as pathogenic for autosomal recessive retinitis pigmentosa. This variant was observed by ICSL as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. -
