Genes affected

CNGB3 (HGNC:2153): (cyclic nucleotide gated channel subunit beta 3) This gene encodes the beta subunit of a cyclic nucleotide-gated ion channel. The encoded beta subunit appears to play a role in modulation of channel function in cone photoreceptors. This heterotetrameric channel is necessary for sensory transduction, and mutations in this gene have been associated with achromatopsia 3, progressive cone dystrophy, and juvenile macular degeneration, also known as Stargardt Disease.

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Splicing +-2 bp (donor or acceptor) variant, LoF is a know mechanism of disease, No cryptic splice site detected. Exon removal results in frameshift change.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 8-86604091-AC-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr8-86604091-AC-A is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 427707.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars. Variant chr8-86604091-AC-A is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].

This sequence change affects a donor splice site in intron 15 of the CNGB3 gene. It is expected to disrupt RNA splicing and likely results in an absent or disrupted protein product. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This variant has been observed in individual(s) with achromatopsia (PMID: 28795510). In at least one individual the data is consistent with the variant being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 427707). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site, but this prediction has not been confirmed by published transcriptional studies. Donor and acceptor splice site variants typically lead to a loss of protein function (PMID: 16199547), and loss-of-function variants in CNGB3 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 28795510). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
