Genes affected

BEST1 (HGNC:12703): (bestrophin 1) This gene encodes a member of the bestrophin gene family. This small gene family is characterized by proteins with a highly conserved N-terminus with four to six transmembrane domains. Bestrophins may form chloride ion channels or may regulate voltage-gated L-type calcium-ion channels. Bestrophins are generally believed to form calcium-activated chloride-ion channels in epithelial cells but they have also been shown to be highly permeable to bicarbonate ion transport in retinal tissue. Mutations in this gene are responsible for juvenile-onset vitelliform macular dystrophy (VMD2), also known as Best macular dystrophy, in addition to adult-onset vitelliform macular dystrophy (AVMD) and other retinopathies. Alternative splicing results in multiple variants encoding distinct isoforms.[provided by RefSeq, Nov 2008]

This sequence change replaces valine, which is neutral and non-polar, with methionine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 86 of the BEST1 protein (p.Val86Met). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individuals with autosomal dominant vitreoretinochoroidopathy (PMID: 15452077, 21072067, 26771239). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 2744). 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 expected to disrupt BEST1 protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. Experimental studies are conflicting or provide insufficient evidence to determine the effect of this variant on BEST1 function (PMID: 15452077). This variant disrupts the p.Val86 amino acid residue in BEST1. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (internal data). 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. -
