Genes affected

CNGB3 (HGNC:2153): (cyclic nucleotide gated channel subunit beta 3) This gene encodes the beta subunit of a cyclic nucleotide-gated ion channel. The encoded beta subunit appears to play a role in modulation of channel function in cone photoreceptors. This heterotetrameric channel is necessary for sensory transduction, and mutations in this gene have been associated with achromatopsia 3, progressive cone dystrophy, and juvenile macular degeneration, also known as Stargardt Disease.

ACMG classification

Our verdict: Likely_pathogenic. The variant received 6 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Splicing +-2 bp (donor or acceptor) variant, product NOT destroyed by NMD, known LOF gene, truncates exone, which is 0.0345679 fraction of the gene. Cryptic splice site detected, with MaxEntScore 3.9, offset of 15, new splice context is: tatggggttgtgatacacAGatg. Cryptic site results in inframe change. If cryptic site found is not functional and variant results in exon loss, it results in inframe change.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 8-86611673-T-C is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr8-86611673-T-C is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 427705.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.
