Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely pathogenic. The variant received 9 ACMG points: 9P and 0B. PM2 PM5 PP2 PP3_Strong

The NM_000329.3(RPE65):​c.1543C>G​(p.Arg515Gly) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. No clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar. Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. R515W) has been classified as Pathogenic.

Genes affected

RPE65 (HGNC:10294): (retinoid isomerohydrolase RPE65) The protein encoded by this gene is a component of the vitamin A visual cycle of the retina which supplies the 11-cis retinal chromophore of the photoreceptors opsin visual pigments. It is a member of the carotenoid cleavage oxygenase superfamily. All members of this superfamily are non-heme iron oxygenases with a seven-bladed propeller fold and oxidatively cleave carotenoid carbon:carbon double bonds. However, the protein encoded by this gene has acquired a divergent function that involves the concerted O-alkyl ester cleavage of its all-trans retinyl ester substrate and all-trans to 11-cis double bond isomerization of the retinyl moiety. As such, it performs the essential enzymatic isomerization step in the synthesis of 11-cis retinal. Mutations in this gene are associated with early-onset severe blinding disorders such as Leber congenital. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2017]

ACMG classification

Our verdict: Likely_pathogenic. The variant received 9 ACMG points.

• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PM5: Other missense variant is known to change same aminoacid residue: Variant chr1-68429835-G-A is described in CliVar as Pathogenic. Clinvar id is 13120.Status of the report is reviewed_by_expert_panel, 3 stars.
• PP2: Missense variant in the gene, where a lot of missense mutations are associated with disease in ClinVar. The gene has 97 curated pathogenic missense variants (we use a threshold of 10). The gene has 15 curated benign missense variants. Gene score misZ: -0.24008 (below the threshold of 3.09). Trascript score misZ: 0.28272 (below the threshold of 3.09). GenCC associations: The gene is linked to Leber congenital amaurosis 2, retinitis pigmentosa 87 with choroidal involvement, Leber congenital amaurosis, RPE65-related recessive retinopathy, retinitis pigmentosa, retinitis pigmentosa 20, RPE65-related dominant retinopathy, severe early-childhood-onset retinal dystrophy.
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.991
