Genes affected

FAM161A (HGNC:25808): (FAM161 centrosomal protein A) This gene belongs to the FAM161 family. It is expressed mainly in the retina. Mouse studies suggested that this gene is involved in development of retinal progenitors during embryogenesis, and that its activity is restricted to mature photoreceptors after birth. Mutations in this gene cause autosomal recessive retinitis pigmentosa-28. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been identified.[provided by RefSeq, Jan 2011]

Significance:Pathogenic

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

The variant is observed at an extremely low frequency in the gnomAD v2.1.1 dataset (total allele frequency: 0.010%). Predicted Consequence/Location: Frameshift: predicted to result in a loss or disruption of normal protein function through nonsense-mediated decay (NMD) or protein truncation. Multiple pathogenic variants are reported downstream of the variant. The variant has been reported at least twice as pathogenic with clinical assertions and evidence for the classification (ClinVar ID: VCV000000037 /PMID: 20705279 /3billion dataset). Therefore, this variant is classified as Pathogenic according to the recommendation of ACMG/AMP guideline. -

Significance:Pathogenic

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Thr452Serfs*3) in the FAM161A gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in FAM161A are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 20705278, 20705279, 24651477). This variant is present in population databases (rs397704718, gnomAD 0.2%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individuals with autosomal recessive retinitis pigmentosa (PMID: 20705279, 24651477). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 37). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
