Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points: 18P and 0B. PM1PM2PM5PP3_StrongPP5_Very_Strong

The NM_000539.3(RHO):c.533A>G(p.Tyr178Cys) variant causes a missense, splice region change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.000000684 in 1,461,770 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. 1/1 splice prediction tools predict no significant impact on normal splicing. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Likely pathogenic (★★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. Y178N) 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.

Variant is located in a mutational hotspot where >50% of variants are pathogenic (PM1). Variant allele frequency is below 0.00001 in gnomAD exomes and not found in genomes (PM2). Other variant at this amino acid residue has been classified as pathogenic (PM5, p.Tyr178His). REVEL score is 0.89 (PP3_mod) -

For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. This variant disrupts the p.Tyr178 amino acid residue in RHO. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been observed in individuals with RHO-related conditions (PMID: 7987331, 23591405), which suggests that this may be a clinically significant amino acid residue. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects RHO function (PMID: 1924344, 30240733). An algorithm developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (PolyPhen-2) suggests that this variant is likely to be disruptive. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 13025). This missense change has been observed in individuals with autosomal dominant retinitis pigmentosa (PMID: 1862076, 25221422, 25408095, 29847639, 30718709). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change replaces tyrosine, which is neutral and polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 178 of the RHO protein (p.Tyr178Cys). -
