Genes affected
FAM161A (HGNC:25808): (FAM161 centrosomal protein A) This gene belongs to the FAM161 family. It is expressed mainly in the retina. Mouse studies suggested that this gene is involved in development of retinal progenitors during embryogenesis, and that its activity is restricted to mature photoreceptors after birth. Mutations in this gene cause autosomal recessive retinitis pigmentosa-28. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been identified.[provided by RefSeq, Jan 2011]

Illumina Laboratory Services, Illumina
Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This variant was observed as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (where applicable). Publications were found based on this search. However, the evidence from the literature, in combination with allele frequency data from public databases where available, was not sufficient to rule this variant in or out of causing disease. Therefore, this variant is classified as a variant of unknown significance. -

Variant summary: FAM161A c.1133T>G (p.Leu378Arg) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Three of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.003 in 248790 control chromosomes, predominantly within the Non-Finnish European subpopulation in the gnomAD database at a frequency of 0.0042, including 3 homozygotes. The observed variant frequency within Non-Finnish European control individuals in the gnomAD database (v2.1 dataset) is approximately 6.7-fold of the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in FAM161A causing Retinitis Pigmentosa phenotype (0.00063). The variant was also observed in the Amish subpopulation in 66/910 alleles, including 7 homozygotes, with an allele frequency of 0.0725 in the gnomAD v3.1 dataset. These data strongly suggest that the variant is a benign polymorphism. Six submitters have provided clinical-significance assessments for this variant in ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation, and classified the variant as VUS (n=3), likely benign (n=2) / benign (n=1). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as benign. -
