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]

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with tryptophan, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 482 of the TULP1 protein (p.Arg482Trp). This variant is present in population databases (rs121909077, gnomAD 0.01%). This missense change has been observed in individuals with early onset retinal disease (PMID: 17620573, 23661368). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 7363). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt TULP1 protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. This variant disrupts the p.Arg482 amino acid residue in TULP1. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 22665969, 30950243). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Variant summary: TULP1 c.1444C>T (p.Arg482Trp) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 1.6e-05 in 251454 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.1444C>T has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Leber Congenital Amaurosis or Retinitis Pigmentosa (e.g. den Hollander_2007, Chen_2013). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 17620573, 23661368). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 7363). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
