Genes affected

GNAT2 (HGNC:4394): (G protein subunit alpha transducin 2) Transducin is a 3-subunit guanine nucleotide-binding protein (G protein) which stimulates the coupling of rhodopsin and cGMP-phoshodiesterase during visual impulses. The transducin alpha subunits in rods and cones are encoded by separate genes. This gene encodes the alpha subunit in cones. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 12 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product undergoes nonsense mediated mRNA decay. LoF is a known mechanism of disease.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 1-109610108-G-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr1-109610108-G-A is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 15922.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars. Variant chr1-109610108-G-A is described in Lovd as [Likely_pathogenic].

For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. Loss-of-function variants in GNAT2 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 12077706). This variant has been observed in individual(s) with achromatopsia (PMID: 12077706). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 15922). This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Gln79*) in the GNAT2 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. -
