Genes affected
CERKL (HGNC:21699): (ceramide kinase like) This gene was initially identified as a locus (RP26) associated with an autosomal recessive form of retinitis pigmentosa (arRP) disease. This gene encodes a protein with ceramide kinase-like domains, however, the protein does not phosphorylate ceramide and its target substrate is currently unknown. This protein may be a negative regulator of apoptosis in photoreceptor cells. Mutations in this gene cause a form of retinitis pigmentosa characterized by autosomal recessive cone and rod dystrophy (arCRD). Alternative splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms and non-coding transcripts.[provided by RefSeq, May 2010]

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLabcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), LabcorpDec 06, 2023This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg461*) in the CERKL gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in CERKL are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 14681825, 23591405, 24043777). The frequency data for this variant in the population databases is considered unreliable, as metrics indicate poor data quality at this position in the gnomAD database. This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with retinitis pigmentosa (PMID: 28559085). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 555316). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
