Genes affected

TIMP3 (HGNC:11822): (TIMP metallopeptidase inhibitor 3) This gene belongs to the TIMP gene family. The proteins encoded by this gene family are inhibitors of the matrix metalloproteinases, a group of peptidases involved in degradation of the extracellular matrix (ECM). Expression of this gene is induced in response to mitogenic stimulation and this netrin domain-containing protein is localized to the ECM. Mutations in this gene have been associated with the autosomal dominant disorder Sorsby's fundus dystrophy. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

SYN3 (HGNC:11496): (synapsin III) This gene is a member of the synapsin gene family. Synapsins encode neuronal phosphoproteins which associate with the cytoplasmic surface of synaptic vesicles. Family members are characterized by common protein domains, and they are implicated in synaptogenesis and the modulation of neurotransmitter release, suggesting a potential role in several neuropsychiatric diseases. The protein encoded by this gene shares the synapsin family domain model, with domains A, C, and E exhibiting the highest degree of conservation. The protein contains a unique domain J, located between domains C and E. Based on this gene's localization to 22q12.3, a possible schizophrenia susceptibility locus, and the established neurobiological roles of the synapsins, this family member may represent a candidate gene for schizophrenia. The TIMP3 gene is located within an intron of this gene and is transcribed in the opposite direction. Alternative splicing of this gene results in multiple splice variants that encode different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2008]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 16 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a chain Metalloproteinase inhibitor 3 (size 187) in uniprot entity TIMP3_HUMAN there are 21 pathogenic changes around while only 0 benign (100%) in NM_000362.5
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.94
• PP5: Variant 22-32859351-A-T is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr22-32859351-A-T is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 12676.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars. Variant chr22-32859351-A-T is described in Lovd as [Likely_pathogenic].

This sequence change replaces serine, which is neutral and polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 204 of the TIMP3 protein (p.Ser204Cys). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individuals with Sorsby fundus dystrophy (PMID: 8639088, 8919688, 31415707). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. This variant is also known as p.Ser181Cys. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 12676). An algorithm developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (PolyPhen-2) suggests that this variant is likely to be tolerated. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
