Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 14 ACMG points: 14P and 0B. PM1 PM2 PM5 PP5_Very_Strong

The NM_004183.4(BEST1):​c.17C>A​(p.Thr6Lys) variant causes a missense change. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Likely pathogenic (★★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. T6P) has been classified as Pathogenic.

Genes affected

BEST1 (HGNC:12703): (bestrophin 1) This gene encodes a member of the bestrophin gene family. This small gene family is characterized by proteins with a highly conserved N-terminus with four to six transmembrane domains. Bestrophins may form chloride ion channels or may regulate voltage-gated L-type calcium-ion channels. Bestrophins are generally believed to form calcium-activated chloride-ion channels in epithelial cells but they have also been shown to be highly permeable to bicarbonate ion transport in retinal tissue. Mutations in this gene are responsible for juvenile-onset vitelliform macular dystrophy (VMD2), also known as Best macular dystrophy, in addition to adult-onset vitelliform macular dystrophy (AVMD) and other retinopathies. Alternative splicing results in multiple variants encoding distinct isoforms.[provided by RefSeq, Nov 2008]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 14 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a hotspot region, there are 8 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 0 benign, 6 uncertain in NM_004183.4
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PM5: Other missense variant is known to change same aminoacid residue: Variant chr11-61951822-A-G is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 858577.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.
• PP5: Variant 11-61951823-C-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr11-61951823-C-A is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 1709319.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

This variant disrupts the p.Thr6 amino acid residue in BEST1. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 17477921, 17591911; Invitae). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt BEST1 protein function. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 1709319). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with vitelliform macular dystrophy (PMID: 21273940, 32278767). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change replaces threonine, which is neutral and polar, with lysine, which is basic and polar, at codon 6 of the BEST1 protein (p.Thr6Lys). -
