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]

FTH1 (HGNC:3976): (ferritin heavy chain 1) This gene encodes the heavy subunit of ferritin, the major intracellular iron storage protein in prokaryotes and eukaryotes. It is composed of 24 subunits of the heavy and light ferritin chains. Variation in ferritin subunit composition may affect the rates of iron uptake and release in different tissues. A major function of ferritin is the storage of iron in a soluble and nontoxic state. Defects in ferritin proteins are associated with several neurodegenerative diseases. This gene has multiple pseudogenes. Several alternatively spliced transcript variants have been observed, but their biological validity has not been determined. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 16 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product undergoes nonsense mediated mRNA decay. LoF is a known mechanism of disease.

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 505511). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with BEST1-related conditions. This variant is present in population databases (rs752521456, gnomAD 0.006%). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Val505Glufs*9) in the BEST1 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in BEST1 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 21825197). -

Significance: Likely pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The p.Val505GlufsX9 (NM_004183.3 c.1514_1515delTG) variant in BEST1 has not been reported in the literature. This variant is predicted to cause a frameshift, wh ich alters the protein?s amino acid sequence beginning at position 505 and leads to a premature termination codon 9 amino acids downstream. This alteration is t hen predicted to lead to a truncated or absent protein. Biallelic loss of functi on of the BEST1 gene has been associated with autosomal recessive bestrophinopat hy. This variant has been identified in 3/121,356 of chromosomes by the Exome Ag gregation Consortium (ExAC, http://exac.broadinstitute.org; dbSNP rs752521456). Although this variant has been seen in the general population, its frequency is low enough to be consistent with a recessive carrier frequency. In summary, alt hough additional studies are required to fully establish a null effect on the pr otein, the p.Val505GlufsX9 variant in BEST1 is likely pathogenic for bestrophin opathy in an autosomal recessive manner based upon its predicted functional impa ct. -
