Genes affected

PRPH2 (HGNC:9942): (peripherin 2) The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the transmembrane 4 superfamily, also known as the tetraspanin family. Most of these members are cell-surface proteins that are characterized by the presence of four hydrophobic domains. The proteins mediate signal transduction events that play a role in the regulation of cell development, activation, growth and motility. This encoded protein is a cell surface glycoprotein found in the outer segment of both rod and cone photoreceptor cells. It may function as an adhesion molecule involved in stabilization and compaction of outer segment disks or in the maintenance of the curvature of the rim. This protein is essential for disk morphogenesis. Defects in this gene are associated with both central and peripheral retinal degenerations. Some of the various phenotypically different disorders are autosomal dominant retinitis pigmentosa, progressive macular degeneration, macular dystrophy and retinitis pigmentosa digenic.

ACMG classification

Our verdict: Pathogenic. The variant received 16 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a hotspot region, there are 50 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 0 benign, 6 uncertain in NM_000322.5
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PM5: Other missense variant is known to change same aminoacid residue: Variant chr6-42704547-G-C is described in ClinVar as Pathogenic/Likely_pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 844144.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.
• PP2: Missense variant in the gene, where a lot of missense mutations are associated with disease in ClinVar. The gene has 126 curated pathogenic missense variants (we use a threshold of 10). The gene has 10 curated benign missense variants. Gene score misZ: 0.10182 (below the threshold of 3.09). Trascript score misZ: 0.57529 (below the threshold of 3.09). GenCC associations: The gene is linked to inherited retinal dystrophy, fundus albipunctatus, retinitis pigmentosa 7, choroidal dystrophy, central areolar 2, adult-onset foveomacular vitelliform dystrophy, retinitis punctata albescens, hereditary macular dystrophy, central areolar choroidal dystrophy, Leber congenital amaurosis, vitelliform macular dystrophy 3, multifocal pattern dystrophy simulating fundus flavimaculatus, PRPH2-related retinopathy, cone-rod dystrophy, retinitis pigmentosa, patterned macular dystrophy.
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.825
• PP5: Variant 6-42704546-G-C is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr6-42704546-G-C is described in ClinVar as Pathogenic/Likely_pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 1073211.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

This sequence change replaces proline, which is neutral and non-polar, with arginine, which is basic and polar, at codon 216 of the PRPH2 protein (p.Pro216Arg). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individuals with autosomal dominant retinitis pigmentosa (PMID: 16799052; internal data). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 1073211). 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 expected to disrupt PRPH2 protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. This variant disrupts the p.Pro216 amino acid residue in PRPH2. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 7754251, 8058286, 28559085). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
