not provided Pathogenic:2
This sequence change falls in intron 5 of the PDE6C gene. It does not directly change the encoded amino acid sequence of the PDE6C protein. RNA analysis indicates that this variant induces altered splicing and likely results in a shortened protein product. This variant is present in population databases (rs374805348, gnomAD 0.01%). This variant has been observed in individuals with achromotopsia (PMID: 30080950; internal data). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 191010). Variants that disrupt the consensus splice site are a relatively common cause of aberrant splicing (PMID: 17576681, 9536098). Studies have shown that this variant results in skipping of exon 5, but is expected to preserve the integrity of the reading-frame (PMID: 32552793). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Cone dystrophy 4 Pathogenic:1
The variant is observed at an extremely low frequency in the gnomAD v2.1.1 dataset (total allele frequency: <0.001%). Predicted Consequence/Location: Intron variant In silico tools predict the variant to alter splicing and produce an abnormal transcript [SpliceAI: 0.86 (>=0.2, moderate evidence for spliceogenicity)]. The variant has been reported to be in trans with a pathogenic variant as either compound heterozygous or homozygous in at least one similarly affected unrelated individual (PMID: 32552793). The variant has been reported at least twice as pathogenic with clinical assertions and evidence for the classification (ClinVar ID: VCV000191010 /PMID: 27124789). Therefore, this variant is classified as Likely pathogenic according to the recommendation of ACMG/AMP guideline. -
