Genes affected
CNGA3 (HGNC:2150): (cyclic nucleotide gated channel subunit alpha 3) This gene encodes a member of the cyclic nucleotide-gated cation channel protein family which is required for normal vision and olfactory signal transduction. Mutations in this gene are associated with achromatopsia (rod monochromacy) and color blindness. Two alternatively spliced transcripts encoding different isoforms have been described.

ACMG classification

Classification was made for transcript

Our verdict: Uncertain_significance. The variant received 2 ACMG points.

PVS1
Splicing +-2 bp (donor or acceptor) variant, product NOT destroyed by NMD, known LOF gene, truncates exone, which is 0.066187054 fraction of the gene. Cryptic splice site detected, with MaxEntScore 9.1, offset of -50, new splice context is: aagGTaaag. Cryptic site results in frameshift change. If cryptic site found is not functional and variant results in exon loss, it results in inframe change.

Significance:Likely pathogenic
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The c.101+1G>A variant in CNGA3 has not been previously reported in individuals with achromatopsia, but has been identified in 0.08% (7/8600) of European American chromosomes and 0.02% (1/4406) of African American chromosomes by the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project (http://evs.gs.washington.edu/EVS/; dbSNP rs147118493). Although this variant has been seen in the general population, its frequency is low enough to be consistent with a recessive carrier frequency. This variant occurs in the invariant region (+/- 1,2) of the splice consensus sequence and is predicted to cause altered splicing leading to an abnormal or absent protein. Complete loss of CNGA3 function is an established disease mechanism in individuals with achromatopsia (Wissinger 2001). In summary, although additional studies are required to fully establish its clinical significance, the c.101+1G>A variant is likely pathogenic. -

NG_009097.1(NM_001298.2):c.101+1G>A in the CNGA3 gene has an allele frequency of 0.006 in Ashkenazi Jewish subpopulation in the gnomAD database. The CNGA3 c.101+1G>A variant occurs in a canonical splice site (donor) and is therefore predicted to disrupt or distort the normal gene product. This variant has been reported in one study and found in three unrelated individuals from consanguineous families affected with achromatopsia in a homozygous state (PMID: 30289319). Taken together, we interprete this variant as Pathogenic/Likely pathogenic. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: PVS1, PM3_Supporting, PP4. -

The CNGA3 c.101+1G>A variant is predicted to disrupt the GT donor site and interfere with normal splicing. This has been reported in the homozygous state in three individuals with achromatopsia; however, two of these individuals were also homozygous for a truncating variant (p.Arg221*) (Abdelkader et al. 2018. PubMed ID: 30289319). This variant has also been reported in a large cohort study of retinal disease (Table S2, Sharon et al. 2020. PubMed ID: 31456290). This variant is reported in 0.56% of alleles in individuals of Ashkenazi Jewish descent in gnomAD, indicating it is relatively common in this population. Variants that disrupt the consensus splice donor site in CNGA3 are expected to be pathogenic. This variant is interpreted as likely pathogenic. -
