Genes affected
RPE65 (HGNC:10294): (retinoid isomerohydrolase RPE65) The protein encoded by this gene is a component of the vitamin A visual cycle of the retina which supplies the 11-cis retinal chromophore of the photoreceptors opsin visual pigments. It is a member of the carotenoid cleavage oxygenase superfamily. All members of this superfamily are non-heme iron oxygenases with a seven-bladed propeller fold and oxidatively cleave carotenoid carbon:carbon double bonds. However, the protein encoded by this gene has acquired a divergent function that involves the concerted O-alkyl ester cleavage of its all-trans retinyl ester substrate and all-trans to 11-cis double bond isomerization of the retinyl moiety. As such, it performs the essential enzymatic isomerization step in the synthesis of 11-cis retinal. Mutations in this gene are associated with early-onset severe blinding disorders such as Leber congenital. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2017]

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Ser121Leufs*6) in the RPE65 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in RPE65 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 9326941, 9501220, 9843205, 18632300). This variant is present in population databases (no rsID available, gnomAD 0.003%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with autosomal recessive Leber congenital amaurosis and/or autosomal recessive retinitis pigmentosa (PMID: 20683928, 23878505, 31630094). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 1454323). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
