Genes affected

CRX (HGNC:2383): (cone-rod homeobox) The protein encoded by this gene is a photoreceptor-specific transcription factor which plays a role in the differentiation of photoreceptor cells. This homeodomain protein is necessary for the maintenance of normal cone and rod function. Mutations in this gene are associated with photoreceptor degeneration, Leber congenital amaurosis type III and the autosomal dominant cone-rod dystrophy 2. Several alternatively spliced transcript variants of this gene have been described, but the full-length nature of some variants has not been determined. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. This variant disrupts a region of the CRX protein in which other variant(s) (p.Tyr258*) have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 22968130, 25270190). This suggests that this is a clinically significant region of the protein, and that variants that disrupt it are likely to be disease-causing. Experimental studies and prediction algorithms are not available or were not evaluated, and the functional significance of this variant is currently unknown. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 99618). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individuals with clinical features of cone-rod dystrophy (PMID: 15531334; Invitae). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Ser206Profs*13) in the CRX gene. While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the last 94 amino acid(s) of the CRX protein. -
