This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: NM_000329.3(RPE65):c.419G>A is a missense variant causing substitution of glycine by glutamic acid at position 140. This variant has been reported in at least 1 proband with early-onset severe retinal dystrophy who was homozygous for the variant (0.5 points, PMID:30870047). This variant has also been reported in at least 2 probands with early-onset severe retinal dystrophy who were compound heterozygous with the NM_000329.3(RPE65):c.242G>T (p.Arg81Ile) and NM_000329.3(RPE65):c.1338G>T (p.Arg446Ser) variants confirmed in trans (2 points, PMID:30870047), which were previously classified pathogenic by the ClinGen LCA / eoRD VCEP (2.5 total points, PM3_Strong). At least one proband harboring this variant exhibits a phenotype including diagnosis with Leber congenital amaurosis (0.5 pts) by exome sequencing that did not provide an alternative explanation for visual impairment (2 pts), onset at 1 month of age (1 pt), undetectable ERG responses from rods (0.5 pts) and cones (1 pt), nyctalopia (0.5 pts), reduced visual acuity (1 pt), light gazing (1 pt), RPE mottling (0.5 pts), optic nerve pallor (0.5 pt), nystagmus (1 pt), and pigmentary retinopathy with attenuated vessels (0.5 pt), which together are highly specific for RPE65-related recessive retinopathy (10 total points, PMID:30870047, PP4_Moderate). This variant is present in gnomAD v.2.1.1 at a GrpMax allele frequency of 0.00003893, with 5 alleles / 35438 total alleles in the Admixed American population, which is lower than the ClinGen LCA / eoRD VCEP PM2_Supporting threshold of <0.0002 (PM2_Supporting). The computational predictor REVEL gives a score of 0.847, which is above the ClinGen LCA / eoRD VCEP threshold of ≥ 0.773 and predicts a damaging effect on RPE65 function (PP3_Moderate). In summary, this variant meets the criteria to be classified as likely pathogenic for RPE65-related recessive retinopathy based on the ACMG/AMP criteria applied, as specified by the ClinGen LCA / eoRD VCEP: PM2_Supporting, PM3_Strong, PP3_Moderate, and PP4_Moderate.

Genes affected
RPE65 (HGNC:10294): (retinoid isomerohydrolase RPE65) The protein encoded by this gene is a component of the vitamin A visual cycle of the retina which supplies the 11-cis retinal chromophore of the photoreceptors opsin visual pigments. It is a member of the carotenoid cleavage oxygenase superfamily. All members of this superfamily are non-heme iron oxygenases with a seven-bladed propeller fold and oxidatively cleave carotenoid carbon:carbon double bonds. However, the protein encoded by this gene has acquired a divergent function that involves the concerted O-alkyl ester cleavage of its all-trans retinyl ester substrate and all-trans to 11-cis double bond isomerization of the retinyl moiety. As such, it performs the essential enzymatic isomerization step in the synthesis of 11-cis retinal. Mutations in this gene are associated with early-onset severe blinding disorders such as Leber congenital. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2017]

Leber congenital amaurosis 2;C3151086:Retinitis pigmentosa 20 Pathogenic:1
Nov 11, 2024
Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp
Significance:Pathogenic
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, with glutamic acid, which is acidic and polar, at codon 140 of the RPE65 protein (p.Gly140Glu). This variant is present in population databases (no rsID available, gnomAD 0.01%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with Leber congenital amaurosis or retinitis pigmentosa (PMID: 28181551, 30870047). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 467827). 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) indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt RPE65 protein function with a negative predictive value of 80%. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.
