Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 22 ACMG points: 22P and 0B. PVS1 PS3 PM2 PP5_Very_Strong

The NM_000539.3(RHO):​c.482G>A​(p.Trp161*) variant causes a stop gained change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000137 in 1,461,860 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 (★★). ClinVar reports functional evidence for this variant: "SCV005881662: Experimental studies done by transfecting human rhodopsin nonsense mutants into HEK-293T and HT-1080 human cells indicated that this nonsense variant yielded significantly reduced levels of rhodopsin mRNA, approximately 40% lower than for wild type rhodopsin. The results also suggested that the NMD pathway is responsible for the degradation of rhodopsin mRNA in the mutants causing arRP (PS3, PMID:26416182)". Variant results in nonsense mediated mRNA decay.

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

Our verdict: Pathogenic. The variant received 22 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product undergoes nonsense mediated mRNA decay. LoF is a known mechanism of disease.
• PS3: PS3 evidence extracted from ClinVar submissions: SCV005881662: Experimental studies done by transfecting human rhodopsin nonsense mutants into HEK-293T and HT-1080 human cells indicated that this nonsense variant yielded significantly reduced levels of rhodopsin mRNA, approximately 40% lower than for wild type rhodopsin. The results also suggested that the NMD pathway is responsible for the degradation of rhodopsin mRNA in the mutants causing arRP (PS3, PMID:26416182)
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 3-129530996-G-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr3-129530996-G-A is described in ClinVar as Pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 29875.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.
