Genes affected
NMNAT1 (HGNC:17877): (nicotinamide nucleotide adenylyltransferase 1) This gene encodes an enzyme which catalyzes a key step in the biosynthesis of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD). The encoded enzyme is one of several nicotinamide nucleotide adenylyltransferases, and is specifically localized to the cell nucleus. Activity of this protein leads to the activation of a nuclear deacetylase that functions in the protection of damaged neurons. Mutations in this gene have been associated with Leber congenital amaurosis 9. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. Pseudogenes of this gene are located on chromosomes 1, 3, 4, 14, and 15. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2014]

This sequence change replaces alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, with threonine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 13 of the NMNAT1 protein (p.Ala13Thr). This variant is present in population databases (rs138613460, gnomAD 0.2%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with inherited retinal dystrophy (PMID: 22842227, 22842229, 32865313; internal data). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 195375). 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 NMNAT1 protein function with a positive predictive value of 80%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change does not substantially affect NMNAT1 function (PMID: 26018082). In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. -

In a published functional study, this variant performed similar to wildtype, however additional studies are needed to validate the functional effect of this variant in vivo (PMID: 26018082); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 22842229, 22842227, 32641690, 32865313, 34041853, 22842230, 38219857, 26018082) -

The NMNAT1 c.37G>A variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Ala13Thr. This variant has been reported with another likely causative variant (three individuals who also carried the p.Val98Gly variant) or a variant of uncertain significance (one case) in patients with Leber congenital amaurosis (Supplementary Table 3 in Perrault et al. 2012. PubMed ID: 22842229, Table 1, P18; Falk et al. 2012. PubMed ID: 22842227, Table 1, LCA-3; Porto et al. 2017. PubMed ID: 29186038, Table 2, patient FBP_57; Koenekoop et al. 2012. PubMed ID: 22842230, Patient MOGL3698). Functional, expression, and localization studies suggested that this variant is similar to wild-type (Sasaki et al. 2015. PubMed ID: 26018082). This variant is reported in 0.21% of alleles in individuals of African descent in gnomAD. Although we suspect that this variant may be pathogenic, at this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -
