Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 19 ACMG points: 19P and 0B. PM1 PM2 PM5 PP2 PP3_Strong PP5_Very_Strong

The NM_004183.4(BEST1):​c.709A>T​(p.Thr237Ser) 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. 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. T237K) has been classified as Likely 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

Our verdict: Pathogenic. The variant received 19 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a hotspot region, there are 12 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 0 benign, 4 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 chr11-61957460-C-A is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 3634175.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.
• PP2: Missense variant in the gene, where a lot of missense mutations are associated with disease in ClinVar. The gene has 209 curated pathogenic missense variants (we use a threshold of 10). The gene has 23 curated benign missense variants. Gene score misZ: 0.61695 (below the threshold of 3.09). Trascript score misZ: 0.88358 (below the threshold of 3.09). GenCC associations: The gene is linked to MRCS syndrome, retinitis pigmentosa 50, nanophthalmia, autosomal dominant vitreoretinochoroidopathy, vitelliform macular dystrophy 2, adult-onset foveomacular vitelliform dystrophy, autosomal recessive bestrophinopathy, inherited retinal dystrophy, retinitis pigmentosa.
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.97
• PP5: Variant 11-61957459-A-T is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr11-61957459-A-T is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 1457853.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars. Variant chr11-61957459-A-T is described in Lovd as [Likely_pathogenic].

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

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. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. This variant disrupts the p.Thr237 amino acid residue in BEST1. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been observed in individuals with BEST1-related conditions (PMID: 16612637), which suggests that this may be a clinically significant amino acid residue. This missense change has been observed in individuals with autosomal dominant BEST1-related conditions (PMID: 16612637). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change replaces threonine, which is neutral and polar, with serine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 237 of the BEST1 protein (p.Thr237Ser). -
