Genes affected

CHM (HGNC:1940): (CHM Rab escort protein) This gene encodes component A of the RAB geranylgeranyl transferase holoenzyme. In the dimeric holoenzyme, this subunit binds unprenylated Rab GTPases and then presents them to the catalytic Rab GGTase subunit for the geranylgeranyl transfer reaction. Rab GTPases need to be geranylgeranyled on either one or two cysteine residues in their C-terminus to localize to the correct intracellular membrane. Mutations in this gene are a cause of choroideremia; also known as tapetochoroidal dystrophy (TCD). This X-linked disease is characterized by progressive dystrophy of the choroid, retinal pigment epithelium and retina. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene.

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product undergoes nonsense mediated mRNA decay. LoF is a known mechanism of disease.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant X-85957918-G-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chrX-85957918-G-A is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 11154.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars. Variant chrX-85957918-G-A is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic]. Variant chrX-85957918-G-A is described in Lovd as [Likely_pathogenic].

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg293*) in the CHM gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in CHM are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 9067750, 23811034). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with choroidemia (PMID: 26133251, 28559085). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 11154). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

The R293X variant in the CHM gene has been reported previously (also as R294X due to alternate nomenclature) in multiple unrelated patients with choroideremia (van Bokhoven et al., 1994; Jolly et al., 2015; McLaren et al., 2015; Sanchez-Alcudia et al., 2016). This variant is predicted to cause loss of normal protein function either through protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. The R293X variant is not observed in large population cohorts (Lek et al., 2016). We interpret R293X as a pathogenic variant. -
