Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points: 18P and 0B. PM1 PM2 PM5 PP3_Strong PP5_Very_Strong

The NM_000539.3(RHO):c.44A>G(p.Asn15Ser) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000137 in 1,461,892 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic (★★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. N15K) has been classified as Likely pathogenic.

Genes affected

RHO (HGNC:10012): (rhodopsin) The protein encoded by this gene is found in rod cells in the back of the eye and is essential for vision in low-light conditions. The encoded protein binds to 11-cis retinal and is activated when light hits the retinal molecule. Defects in this gene are a cause of congenital stationary night blindness.

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a hotspot region, there are 3 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 1 benign, 10 uncertain in NM_000539.3
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PM5: Other missense variant is known to change same aminoacid residue: Variant chr3-129528778-T-G is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 802004.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.983
• PP5: Variant 3-129528777-A-G is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr3-129528777-A-G is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 13042.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars. Variant chr3-129528777-A-G is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic]. Variant chr3-129528777-A-G is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic]. Variant chr3-129528777-A-G is described in Lovd as [Likely_pathogenic]. Variant chr3-129528777-A-G is described in Lovd as [Likely_pathogenic].

Pathogenic, no assertion criteria provided	clinical testing	Clinical Genetics, Academic Medical Center	-	- -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Invitae	Jan 11, 2024	This sequence change replaces asparagine, which is neutral and polar, with serine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 15 of the RHO protein (p.Asn15Ser). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with autosomal dominant retinitis pigmentosa (PMID: 8353500, 9483582). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 13042). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt RHO protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects RHO function (PMID: 31100078). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may create or strengthen a splice site. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
