Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 12 ACMG points: 12P and 0B. PS1 PM2 PM5 PP3_Moderate PP5_Moderate

The NM_182894.3(VSX2):​c.667G>C​(p.Gly223Arg) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. 12/21 in silico tools predict a damaging outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic (★). Another nucleotide change resulting in the same amino acid substitution has been previously reported as Likely pathogenic in Lovd. Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. G223A) has been classified as Likely pathogenic.

Genes affected

VSX2 (HGNC:1975): (visual system homeobox 2) This gene encodes a homeobox protein originally described as a retina-specific transcription factor. Mutations in this gene are associated with microphthalmia, cataracts and iris abnormalities. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2009]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 12 ACMG points.

• PS1: Transcript NM_182894.3 (VSX2) is affected with MISSENSE_VARIANT having same AA change as one Pathogenic present in Lovd
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PM5: Other missense variant is known to change same aminoacid residue: Variant chrnull-null-null-null is described in UniProt as null.
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.916
• PP5: Variant 14-74259689-G-C is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr14-74259689-G-C is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 2112771.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.

This sequence change replaces glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, with arginine, which is basic and polar, at codon 223 of the VSX2 protein (p.Gly223Arg). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (SIFT, PolyPhen-2, Align-GVGD) all suggest that this variant is likely to be disruptive. This variant disrupts the p.Gly223 amino acid residue in VSX2. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 21976963). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). A different variant (c.667G>A) giving rise to the same protein effect has been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 21976963, 24033328, 30181649). This suggests that this variant is also likely to be causative of disease. -
