Genes affected

MERTK (HGNC:7027): (MER proto-oncogene, tyrosine kinase) This gene is a member of the MER/AXL/TYRO3 receptor kinase family and encodes a transmembrane protein with two fibronectin type-III domains, two Ig-like C2-type (immunoglobulin-like) domains, and one tyrosine kinase domain. Mutations in this gene have been associated with disruption of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) phagocytosis pathway and onset of autosomal recessive retinitis pigmentosa (RP).

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	3billion	Jan 03, 2022	Same nucleotide change resulting in same amino acid change has been previously reported to be associated with MERTK related disorder (PMID:24265693, PS1_P). In silico tool predictions suggest damaging effect of the variant on gene or gene product (REVEL: 0.67, PP3_P). It is observed at an extremely low frequency in the gnomAD v2.1.1 dataset (total allele frequency: 0.000012, PM2_M). Therefore, this variant is classified as uncertain significance according to the recommendation of ACMG/AMP guideline. -

This sequence change affects codon 484 of the MERTK mRNA. It is a 'silent' change, meaning that it does not change the encoded amino acid sequence of the MERTK protein. This variant also falls at the last nucleotide of exon 9, which is part of the consensus splice site for this exon. This variant is present in population databases (rs527236084, gnomAD 0.01%). This variant has been observed in individual(s) with inherited retinal dystrophy (PMID: 24265693, 25324289, 32036094, 33353011). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 143138). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function output the following: SIFT: "Tolerated"; PolyPhen-2: "Benign"; Align-GVGD: "Class C0". The serine amino acid residue is found in multiple mammalian species, which suggests that this missense change does not adversely affect protein function. Variants that disrupt the consensus splice site are a relatively common cause of aberrant splicing (PMID: 17576681, 9536098). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
