Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely benign. Variant got -2 ACMG points: 2P and 4B. PM2 BP4_Strong

The NM_001384910.1(GUCA1A):​c.567C>G​(p.Asp189Glu) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. 16/21 in silico tools predict a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. D189D) has been classified as Likely benign.

Genes affected

GUCA1A (HGNC:4678): (guanylate cyclase activator 1A) This gene encodes an enzyme that plays a role in the recovery of retinal photoreceptors from photobleaching. This enzyme promotes the activity of retinal guanylyl cyclase-1 (GC1) at low calcium concentrations and inhibits GC1 at high calcium concentrations. Mutations in this gene can cause cone dystrophy 3 and code-rod dystrophy 14. provided by RefSeq, Jul 2020]

ENSG00000290147 (HGNC:56129): (GUCA1ANB-GUCA1A readthrough) This locus represents naturally occurring readthrough transcription between the neighboring GUCA1ANB (GUCA1A neighbor) and GUCA1A (guanylate cyclase activator 1A) genes on chromosome 6. The readthrough transcript encodes the same protein as GUCA1A. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2020]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Likely_benign. Variant got -2 ACMG points.

• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (MetaRNN=0.028276682).

ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 1360868). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with retinitis pigmentosa (Invitae). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change replaces aspartic acid, which is acidic and polar, with glutamic acid, which is acidic and polar, at codon 189 of the GUCA1A protein (p.Asp189Glu). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function output the following: SIFT: "Not Available"; PolyPhen-2: "Not Available"; Align-GVGD: "Not Available". The glutamic acid amino acid residue is found in multiple mammalian species, which suggests that this missense change does not adversely affect protein function. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
