Genes affected
RP1L1 (HGNC:15946): (RP1 like 1) This gene encodes a member of the doublecortin family. The protein encoded by this gene contains two N-terminal doublecortin domains, which bind microtubules and regulate microtubule polymerization, and two C-terminal large repetitive regions, both of which contain a high percentage of glutamine and glutamic acid residues. This protein is a retinal-specific protein. Its exact length varies among individuals due to the presence of a 16aa repeat in the first C-terminal repetitive region. The 16aa repeat is encoded by the highly polymorphic 48-bp repeat, and 1-6 copies of the 16aa repeat have been identified in normal individuals. The current reference sequence shown here has a single copy of the 16aa repeat. This protein and the RP1 protein, another retinal-specific protein, play essential and synergistic roles in affecting photosensitivity and outer segment morphogenesis of rod photoreceptors. Mutations in this gene cause occult macular dystrophy (OMD). [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2010]

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with tryptophan, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 45 of the RP1L1 protein (p.Arg45Trp). This variant is present in population databases (rs267607017, gnomAD 0.01%). This missense change has been observed in individuals with autosomal dominant occult macular dystrophy (PMID: 20826268, 30025130). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. This variant is also known as c.362C>T. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 2193). 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 not expected to disrupt RP1L1 protein function with a negative predictive value of 80%. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.

The variant is observed at an extremely low frequency in the gnomAD v4.1.0 dataset (total allele frequency: 0.002%). Predicted Consequence/Location: Missense variant. The majority of the known disease-causing variants of this gene are variants expected to result in premature termination of the protein. The same nucleotide change resulting in the same amino acid change has been previously reported as pathogenic/likely pathogenic with strong evidence (ClinVar ID: VCV000002193 /PMID: 20826268 /3billion dataset). Therefore, this variant is classified as Likely pathogenic according to the recommendation of ACMG/AMP guideline.
