Genes affected

PRPH2 (HGNC:9942): (peripherin 2) The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the transmembrane 4 superfamily, also known as the tetraspanin family. Most of these members are cell-surface proteins that are characterized by the presence of four hydrophobic domains. The proteins mediate signal transduction events that play a role in the regulation of cell development, activation, growth and motility. This encoded protein is a cell surface glycoprotein found in the outer segment of both rod and cone photoreceptor cells. It may function as an adhesion molecule involved in stabilization and compaction of outer segment disks or in the maintenance of the curvature of the rim. This protein is essential for disk morphogenesis. Defects in this gene are associated with both central and peripheral retinal degenerations. Some of the various phenotypically different disorders are autosomal dominant retinitis pigmentosa, progressive macular degeneration, macular dystrophy and retinitis pigmentosa digenic.

Variant is in a mutational hotspot where >50% of variants are pathogenic (PM1). Homozygous allele count in gnomAD exomes and genomes is less than 0 (PM2). Prevalence in affected individual is significantly raised compared to the general population (PS4, internal data). Other changes on this amino acid residue have been classified as pathogenic (PM5, c.514C>T). Cosegregation with the disease has been observed in multiple families in multiple studies (PP1, PMID:19243827;27977834) -

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with glutamine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 172 of the PRPH2 protein (p.Arg172Gln). This variant is present in population databases (rs61755793, gnomAD 0.003%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with autosomal dominant macular dystrophy or central areolar choroidal dystrophy in families, albeit with incomplete penetrance (PMID: 8485576, 19038374, 19243827). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. This variant is also known as RDS p.Arg172Gln. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 13167). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) has been performed for this missense variant. However, the output from this modeling did not meet the statistical confidence thresholds required to predict the impact of this variant on PRPH2 protein function. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
