Genes affected
TULP1 (HGNC:12423): (TUB like protein 1) This gene encodes a member of the tubby-like gene family (TULPs). Members of this family have been identified in plants, vertebrates, and invertebrates. TULP proteins share a conserved C-terminal region of approximately 200 amino acid residues. The protein encoded by this gene is thought to play a role in the physiology of photoreceptors. Mutations in this gene are associated with recessive juvenile retinitis pigmentosa and Leber congenital amaurosis-15. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2016]

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: 0.001%). Predicted Consequence/Location: Canonical splice site: predicted to alter splicing and result in a loss or disruption of normal protein function. Multiple pathogenic variants are reported in the predicted truncated region. The variant has been reported at least twice as pathogenic with clinical assertions and evidence for the classification (ClinVar ID: VCV000099665 /PMID: 9462751 /3billion dataset). Therefore, this variant is classified as Pathogenic according to the recommendation of ACMG/AMP guideline.

This sequence change affects a donor splice site in intron 14 of the TULP1 gene. While this variant is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it likely alters RNA splicing and results in a disrupted protein product. This variant is present in population databases (rs281865168, gnomAD 0.006%). Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individuals with retinitis pigmentosa (PMID: 9462751, 26355662, 30337596). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 99665). Variants that disrupt the consensus splice site are a relatively common cause of aberrant splicing (PMID: 17576681, 9536098). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.

he c.1495+1 G>A canonical splice-donor variant in the TULP1 gene has been previously reported to co-segregate with disease in two Dominican family pedigrees and all individuals (n=33) who were diagnosed with arRP within these two pedigrees were found to be homozygous for the variant (Banerjee P et al., 1998; Lewis CA et al., 1999). An in vitro splicing assay (Abbasi AH et al, 2008) showed that the variant results in aberrant splicing. In a mouse model, the G>T transversion at this locus also resulted in abnormal RNA splicing products (Noben-Trauth K et al., 1996). Additionally, computational algorithms predict evolutionary conservation at this locus and a loss of the splice-donor site. The frequency of this variant is absent in the population databases (1000 Genome, Exome Sequencing Project and ExAC)
