Genes affected

PDE6A (HGNC:8785): (phosphodiesterase 6A) This gene encodes the cyclic-GMP (cGMP)-specific phosphodiesterase 6A alpha subunit, expressed in cells of the retinal rod outer segment. The phosphodiesterase 6 holoenzyme is a heterotrimer composed of an alpha, beta, and two gamma subunits. cGMP is an important regulator of rod cell membrane current, and its dynamic concentration is established by phosphodiesterase 6A cGMP hydrolysis and guanylate cyclase cGMP synthesis. The protein is a subunit of a key phototransduction enzyme and participates in processes of transmission and amplification of the visual signal. Mutations in this gene have been identified as one cause of autosomal recessive retinitis pigmentosa. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Likely_pathogenic. Variant got 6 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Splicing +-2 bp (donor or acceptor) variant, product NOT destroyed by NMD, known LOF gene, truncates exone, which is 0.025551684 fraction of the gene. No cryptic splice site detected. Exon removal is inframe change.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 5-149896778-T-C is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr5-149896778-T-C is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 225119.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars. Variant chr5-149896778-T-C is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic]. Variant chr5-149896778-T-C is described in Lovd as [Likely_pathogenic].

This sequence change affects an acceptor splice site in intron 10 of the PDE6A gene. It is expected to disrupt RNA splicing. Variants that disrupt the donor or acceptor splice site typically lead to a loss of protein function (PMID: 16199547), and loss-of-function variants in PDE6A are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 7493036, 22128245, 23847139). This variant is present in population databases (no rsID available, gnomAD 0.003%). Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individual(s) with autosomal recessive retinitis pigmentosa (PMID: 17110911, 26321862). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 225119). 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. -
