The PDE6B p.Arg265Gln variant was identified in a compound heterozygous patient with retinitis pigmentosa from a cohort of 99 patients with inherited retinal dystrophies and 21 healthy relatives (Bernardis_2016_PMID:28127548). The variant was identified in dbSNP (ID: rs144562730) and ClinVar (classified as likely benign by Illumina and uncertain significance by EGL Genetics). The variant was identified in control databases in 302 of 282448 chromosomes (2 homozygous) at a frequency of 0.001069 increasing the likelihood this could be a low frequency benign variant (Genome Aggregation Database March 6, 2019, v2.1.1). The variant was observed in the following populations: South Asian in 70 of 30614 chromosomes (freq: 0.002287), European (non-Finnish) in 193 of 128836 chromosomes (freq: 0.001498), Other in 7 of 7214 chromosomes (freq: 0.00097), Latino in 22 of 35436 chromosomes (freq: 0.000621), Ashkenazi Jewish in 4 of 10352 chromosomes (freq: 0.000386), African in 5 of 24930 chromosomes (freq: 0.000201) and European (Finnish) in 1 of 25118 chromosomes (freq: 0.00004), but was not observed in the East Asian population. The p.Arg265 residue is conserved in mammals and computational analyses (PolyPhen-2, SIFT, AlignGVGD, BLOSUM, MutationTaster) provide inconsistent predictions regarding the impact to the protein; this information is not very predictive of pathogenicity. The variant occurs outside of the splicing consensus sequence however three of four in silico or computational prediction software programs (SpliceSiteFinder, MaxEntScan, NNSPLICE, GeneSplicer) predict a greater than 10% difference in splicing. However, this has not been confirmed by RNA analysis and is not predictive enough to assume pathogenicity. In summary, based on the above information the clinical significance of this variant cannot be determined with certainty at this time. This variant is classified as a variant of uncertain significance. -

Retinitis pigmentosa Uncertain:1
This variant was observed in the ICSL laboratory as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. It had not been previously curated by ICSL or reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database (HGMD: prior to June 1st, 2018), and was therefore a candidate for classification through an automated scoring system. Utilizing variant allele frequency, disease prevalence and penetrance estimates, and inheritance mode, an automated score was calculated to assess if this variant is too frequent to cause the disease. Based on the score, this variant could not be ruled out of causing disease and therefore its association with disease required further investigation. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (if applicable). No publications were found based on this search. This variant was therefore classified as a variant of unknown significance for this disease. -
Congenital stationary night blindness autosomal dominant 2 Benign:1
This variant was observed in the ICSL laboratory as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. It had not been previously curated by ICSL or reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database (HGMD: prior to June 1st, 2018), and was therefore a candidate for classification through an automated scoring system. Utilizing variant allele frequency, disease prevalence and penetrance estimates, and inheritance mode, an automated score was calculated to assess if this variant is too frequent to cause the disease. Based on the score and internal cut-off values, a variant classified as benign is not then subjected to further curation. The score for this variant resulted in a classification of benign for this disease. -
