Genes affected
PDE6A (HGNC:8785): (phosphodiesterase 6A) This gene encodes the cyclic-GMP (cGMP)-specific phosphodiesterase 6A alpha subunit, expressed in cells of the retinal rod outer segment. The phosphodiesterase 6 holoenzyme is a heterotrimer composed of an alpha, beta, and two gamma subunits. cGMP is an important regulator of rod cell membrane current, and its dynamic concentration is established by phosphodiesterase 6A cGMP hydrolysis and guanylate cyclase cGMP synthesis. The protein is a subunit of a key phototransduction enzyme and participates in processes of transmission and amplification of the visual signal. Mutations in this gene have been identified as one cause of autosomal recessive retinitis pigmentosa. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeAug 14, 2023For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 437984). This variant is also known as Arg256>Ter. This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with autosomal recessive retinitis pigmentosa (PMID: 17110911, 24339724). This variant is present in population databases (rs146591309, gnomAD 0.02%). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg257*) in the PDE6A gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in PDE6A are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 7493036, 22128245, 23847139). -
