Retinitis pigmentosa 69 Pathogenic:1

not provided Pathogenic:1
This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Lys40Ilefs*14) in the KIZ gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in KIZ are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 24680887, 29057815). This variant is present in population databases (rs587777377, gnomAD 0.007%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with autosomal recessive retinitis pigmentosa (PMID: 24680887). 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: 128243). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Retinitis pigmentosa Pathogenic:1
The p.Lys40IlefsX14 variant in KIZ has been reported in 7 individuals with retinitis pigmentosa, including three homozygotes and two compound heterozygotes with a second pathogenic KIZ variant (Lin 2020 PMID: 32052671, El Shamieh 2014 PMID: 24680887, Blueprint Genetics data, Invitae data). It has also been identified in 0.009% (7/75782) of European chromosomes by gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org). This variant is predicted to cause a frameshift, which alters the protein’s amino acid sequence beginning at position 40 and leads to a premature termination codon 14 amino acids downstream. Loss of function of the KIZ gene is associated with autosomal recessive retinitis pigmentosa. In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for autosomal recessive retinitis pigmentosa. ACMG/AMP criteria applied: PM3_Strong, PVS1_Strong. -
