Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 10 ACMG points: 10P and 0B. PVS1 PP4 PM2_Supporting

This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: The NM_000329.3(RPE65):c.825C>A (p.Tyr275Ter) variant is a nonsense variant that introduces a premature stop codon into exon 8 of 14, and is predicted to lead to nonsense-mediated decay in a gene in which loss-of-function is an established mechanism of disease (PVS1). This variant is absent from gnomAD v2.1.1 (PM2_Supporting). At least one proband harboring this variant exhibits a phenotype including congenital night blindness (0.5 pts), extinguished rod ERG responses (0.5 pts), previous exome sequencing that did not provide an alternative explanation for visual impairment (2 pts), symptomatic onset between birth and age five years (1 pt), retinal degeneration with attenuated vessels (0.5 pts), and extinguished cone ERG responses (1 pt), which together are specific for RPE65-related recessive retinopathy (5.5 points, PMID:31273949, PP4). In summary, this variant meets the criteria to be classified as pathogenic for RPE65-related recessive retinopathy based on the ACMG/AMP criteria applied, as specified by the ClinGen LCA / eoRD VCEP: PVS1, PM2_Supporting, PP4. (VCEP specifications version 1.0.0; date of approval 09/21/2023). LINK:https://erepo.genome.network/evrepo/ui/classification/CA340745588/MONDO:0100368/120

Genes affected

RPE65 (HGNC:10294): (retinoid isomerohydrolase RPE65) The protein encoded by this gene is a component of the vitamin A visual cycle of the retina which supplies the 11-cis retinal chromophore of the photoreceptors opsin visual pigments. It is a member of the carotenoid cleavage oxygenase superfamily. All members of this superfamily are non-heme iron oxygenases with a seven-bladed propeller fold and oxidatively cleave carotenoid carbon:carbon double bonds. However, the protein encoded by this gene has acquired a divergent function that involves the concerted O-alkyl ester cleavage of its all-trans retinyl ester substrate and all-trans to 11-cis double bond isomerization of the retinyl moiety. As such, it performs the essential enzymatic isomerization step in the synthesis of 11-cis retinal. Mutations in this gene are associated with early-onset severe blinding disorders such as Leber congenital. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2017]
