Genes affected
TULP1 (HGNC:12423): (TUB like protein 1) This gene encodes a member of the tubby-like gene family (TULPs). Members of this family have been identified in plants, vertebrates, and invertebrates. TULP proteins share a conserved C-terminal region of approximately 200 amino acid residues. The protein encoded by this gene is thought to play a role in the physiology of photoreceptors. Mutations in this gene are associated with recessive juvenile retinitis pigmentosa and Leber congenital amaurosis-15. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2016]

The variant is observed at an extremely low frequency in the gnomAD v2.1.1 dataset (total allele frequency: 0.051%). Predicted Consequence/Location: Missense variant In silico tool predictions suggest damaging effect of the variant on gene or gene product [REVEL: 0.86 (>=0.6, sensitivity 0.68 and specificity 0.92); 3Cnet: 0.98 (>=0.6, sensitivity 0.72 and precision 0.9)]. A different missense change at the same codon (p.Ile459Lys) has been reported to be associated with TULP1 related disorder (ClinVar ID: VCV000007359 /PMID: 9462750). The variant has been reported to have conflicting of interpretations as either being of uncertain significance or benign(ClinVar ID: VCV000194380). Therefore, this variant is classified as VUS according to the recommendation of ACMG/AMP guideline. -

Variant summary: TULP1 c.1376T>C (p.Ile459Thr) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the Tubby, C-terminal domain (IPR000007) of the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00043 in 251456 control chromosomes, predominantly at a frequency of 0.0039 within the African or African-American subpopulation in the gnomAD database. The observed variant frequency within African or African-American control individuals in the gnomAD database is approximately 8 fold of the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in TULP1 causing Leber Congenital Amaurosis phenotype (0.0005), strongly suggesting that the variant is a benign polymorphism found primarily in populations of African or African-American origin.c.1376T>C has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Retinitis Pigmentosa (e.g. Wang_2014, Zampaglione_2020). These reports do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Leber Congenital Amaurosis. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 24154662, 32037395). Two clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. One laboratory classified the variant as likely benign, and one laboratory classified the variant as uncertain significance. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely benign. -
