Genes affected
MFRP (HGNC:18121): (membrane frizzled-related protein) This gene encodes a member of the frizzled-related protein family. The encoded protein plays an important role in eye development and mutations in this gene have been associated with nanophthalmos, posterior microphthalmia, retinitis pigmentosa, foveoschisis, and optic disc drusen. The protein is encoded by a bicistronic transcript which also encodes C1q and tumor necrosis factor related protein 5 (C1QTNF5). [provided by RefSeq, Jun 2013]

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeNov 13, 2023This 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
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingPreventionGenetics, part of Exact SciencesApr 04, 2023The 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 (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/variant/11-119216272-TG-T). 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. -
