Genes affected
CHST6 (HGNC:6938): (carbohydrate sulfotransferase 6) The protein encoded by this gene is an enzyme that catalyzes the transfer of a sulfate group to the GlcNAc residues of keratan. Keratan sulfate helps maintain corneal transparency. Defects in this gene are a cause of macular corneal dystrophy (MCD). [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2010]

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeNov 16, 2021This sequence change replaces leucine, which is neutral and non-polar, with arginine, which is basic and polar, at codon 200 of the CHST6 protein (p.Leu200Arg). This variant is present in population databases (rs28937879, gnomAD 0.05%). This missense change has been observed in individuals with macular corneal dystrophy (PMID: 11818380, 16568029, 32472422). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. This variant is also known as 1291T>G. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 5075). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (SIFT, PolyPhen-2, Align-GVGD) all suggest that this variant is likely to be disruptive. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingIllumina Laboratory Services, IlluminaJan 09, 2019The CHST6 c.599T>G (p.Leu200Arg) missense variant has been reported in at least seven studies in which it is identified in a total of 37 individuals with macular corneal dystrophy (MCD) type I or II from 31 families, including in seven in a homozygous state (two of whom are related); 19 in a compound heterozygous state (two of whom are related); and 11 in a heterozygous state (two of whom are related) (El-Ashry et al. 2002; Aldave et al. 2004; Klintworth et al. 2006; Gruenauer-Kloevekorn et al. 2008; Liskova et al. 2008; Dudakova et al. 2014; Nowinska et al. 2014). The p.Leu200Arg variant was detected in a heterozygous state in one of 694 control chromosomes and is reported at a frequency of 0.000471 in the European (non-Finnish) population of the Genome Aggregation Database. The Leu200 residue is noted to be highly conserved. Based on the collective evidence, the p.Leu200Arg variant is classified as pathogenic for macular corneal dystrophy. This variant was observed by ICSL as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLaboratory for Molecular Medicine, Mass General Brigham Personalized MedicineJun 28, 2016The p.Leu200Arg variant in CHST6 has been reported in at least 17 individuals wi th macular corneal dystrophy who also tested positive for a reduction in keratin sulfate consistent with CHST6 deficiency (14 compound heterozygotes, 1 homozygo te and 2 heterozygotes) (El-Ashry 2002, El-Ashry 2005, Abbruzzese 2004, Klintwor th 2006, Liskova 2008). This variant has been identified in 0.03% (30/115,942) o f chromosomes by the Exome Aggregation Consortium (ExAC, http://exac.broadinstit ute.org; dbSNP rs28937879). Although it has been seen in the general population, its frequency is low enough to be consistent with a recessive carrier frequency . In summary, this variant meets our criteria to be classified as pathogenic for macular corneal dystrophy in an autosomal recessive manner based upon its biall elic occurrence in affected individuals and functional evidence. -
