Genes affected

PDE6B (HGNC:8786): (phosphodiesterase 6B) Photon absorption triggers a signaling cascade in rod photoreceptors that activates cGMP phosphodiesterase (PDE), resulting in the rapid hydrolysis of cGMP, closure of cGMP-gated cation channels, and hyperpolarization of the cell. PDE is a peripheral membrane heterotrimeric enzyme made up of alpha, beta, and gamma subunits. This gene encodes the beta subunit. Mutations in this gene result in retinitis pigmentosa and autosomal dominant congenital stationary night blindness. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2009]

Significance:Pathogenic

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Gln298*) in the PDE6B gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in PDE6B are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 8394174, 8595886, 22334370). This variant is present in population databases (rs121918579, gnomAD 0.008%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individuals with autosomal recessive retinitis pigmentosa (PMID: 8394174, 28041643, 29472945). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 13103). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.

The PDE6B c.892C>T variant was identified in an individual with retinitis pigmentosa with a presumed recessive inheritance pattern. Through a review of available evidence we were able to apply the following criteria: PVS1, PM2, PP1, PP3. Based on this evidence we have classified this variant as Pathogenic.

Significance:Pathogenic

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

The variant is observed at an extremely low frequency in the gnomAD v4.1.0 dataset (total allele frequency: 0.011%). Predicted Consequence/Location: Stop-gained (nonsense): predicted to result in a loss or disruption of normal protein function through nonsense-mediated decay (NMD) or protein truncation. Multiple pathogenic variants are reported downstream of the variant. The variant has been reported at least twice as pathogenic with clinical assertions and evidence for the classification (ClinVar ID: VCV000013103 /PMID: 8394174). Therefore, this variant is classified as Pathogenic according to the recommendation of ACMG/AMP guideline.

The p.Gln298Ter variant in PDE6B 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, PP1, PP3. 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.
