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.

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 277 of the CNGA3 protein (p.Arg277Cys). This variant is present in population databases (rs104893620, gnomAD 0.02%). This missense change has been observed in individuals with achromatopsia and cone dystrophy (PMID: 11536077). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 9481). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt CNGA3 protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects CNGA3 function (PMID: 20238023). This variant disrupts the p.Arg277 amino acid residue in CNGA3. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 11536077, 17693388, 26992781). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
