SDCCAG8-related disorder    Pathogenic:1 
The SDCCAG8 c.481C>T variant is predicted to result in premature protein termination (p.Gln161*). This variant has been reported in the homozygous state in an individual with autosomal recessive retinitis pigmentosa and kidney failure (Biswas et al. 2021. PubMed ID: 34662339). This variant is reported in 0.0029% of alleles in individuals of Latino descent in gnomAD. In ClinVar, this variant is interpreted as pathogenic (https://preview.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/212140/). Nonsense variants in SDCCAG8 are expected to be pathogenic (Otto et al. 2010. PubMed ID: 20835237). This variant is interpreted as pathogenic. -

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Gln161*) in the SDCCAG8 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in SDCCAG8 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 20835237, 22190896). This variant is present in population databases (rs797045947, gnomAD 0.003%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with SDCCAG8-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 212140). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
