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]

LOC107984334 (HGNC:):

ACMG classification

Our verdict: Likely_pathogenic. The variant received 9 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a hotspot region, there are 27 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 0 benign, 4 uncertain in NM_004183.4
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP2: Missense variant in the gene, where a lot of missense mutations are associated with disease in ClinVar. The gene has 209 curated pathogenic missense variants (we use a threshold of 10). The gene has 23 curated benign missense variants. Gene score misZ: 0.61695 (below the threshold of 3.09). Trascript score misZ: 0.88358 (below the threshold of 3.09). GenCC associations: The gene is linked to vitelliform macular dystrophy 2, MRCS syndrome, autosomal recessive bestrophinopathy, autosomal dominant vitreoretinochoroidopathy, retinitis pigmentosa, retinitis pigmentosa 50, inherited retinal dystrophy, adult-onset foveomacular vitelliform dystrophy, nanophthalmia.
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.994
