Variant summary
Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 16 ACMG points: 16P and 0B. PVS1PP5_Very_Strong
The NM_031433.4(MFRP):c.498delC(p.Asn167ThrfsTer25) variant causes a frameshift change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.000075 in 1,613,826 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic (★★). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. P166P) has been classified as Uncertain significance. Variant results in nonsense mediated mRNA decay.

Isolated microphthalmia 5 Pathogenic:2
This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Asn167Thrfs*25) in the MFRP gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in MFRP are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 12140190, 15976030, 20361016). This variant is present in population databases (rs587776596, gnomAD 0.04%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individuals with posterior microphthalmos/nanophthalmos and retinal dystrophy in a family, and has been observed in several affected individuals (PMID: 19753314, 23112574, 23143909). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. This variant is also known as c.492delC, p.P166fs*26, and p.P166fs*190. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 4476). 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. -

MFRP-related disorder Pathogenic:1
The MFRP c.498delC variant is predicted to result in a frameshift and premature protein termination (p.Pro166Profs*26). This variant has been reported in the homozygous and compound heterozygous states in individuals with nanophthalmos or retinal dystrophy (reported as 492delC in Sundin et al. 2005. PubMed ID: 15976030; Kannabiran et al. 2012. PubMed ID: 22605927; Guo et al. 2019. PubMed ID: 31266062; Prasov et al. 2020. PubMed ID: 33203948). This variant is reported in 0.042% of alleles in individuals of Latino descent in gnomAD. Frameshift variants in MFRP are expected to be pathogenic, and this variant has been classified as pathogenic by multiple independent submitters to the ClinVar database (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/4476). Given the evidence, we interpret this variant as pathogenic. -
