Genes affected
RB1 (HGNC:9884): (RB transcriptional corepressor 1) The protein encoded by this gene is a negative regulator of the cell cycle and was the first tumor suppressor gene found. The encoded protein also stabilizes constitutive heterochromatin to maintain the overall chromatin structure. The active, hypophosphorylated form of the protein binds transcription factor E2F1. Defects in this gene are a cause of childhood cancer retinoblastoma (RB), bladder cancer, and osteogenic sarcoma. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Significance:Pathogenic
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The c.2520+1G>A variant in RB1 has been reported in at least 2 individuals with retinoblastoma (Richter 2003, Houdayer 2008) and was absent from large populatio n studies. This variant occurs in the invariant region (+/- 1,2) of the splice c onsensus sequence and is predicted to cause altered splicing leading to an abnor mal or absent protein. However, this information is not predictive enough to det ermine pathogenicity. Functional analysis using patient cell lines demonstrated that the c.2520+1G>A variant results in skipping of exon 24 (Houdayer 2008, John son 2014). This results in a frameshift, which is predicted to lead to loss of function via nonsense mediated decay (NMD). Loss of function is an established mechanism of disease for the RB1 gene. In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for retinoblastoma in an autosomal dominant manne r. ACMG criteria applied: PVS1, PM2, PS4_Supporting.

Collection Method:clinical testing

This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. Donor and acceptor splice site variants typically lead to a loss of protein function (PMID: 16199547), and loss-of-function variants in RB1 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 17096365). Experimental studies have shown that this variant disrupts mRNA splicing (PMID: 18000883). Disruption of this splice site has been observed in several individuals affected with retinoblastoma (PMID: 12541220, 18000883, 28193182, 16595082). This variant is also described as c.2658+1G>A and g.170403G>A in the literature. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 126805). This sequence change affects a donor splice site in intron 24 of the RB1 gene. It is expected to disrupt RNA splicing and likely results in an absent or disrupted protein product.

The c.2520+1G>A intronic pathogenic mutation results from a G to A substitution one nucleotide(s) after coding exon 24 of the RB1 gene. This variant has been reported in individual(s) with features consistent with RB1-related hereditary retinoblastoma (Rodríguez-Martín C et al. J Hum Genet, 2020 Jan;65:165-174; Richter S et al. Am J Hum Genet, 2003 Feb;72:253-69; Tsai T et al. Arch Ophthalmol, 2004 Feb;122:239-48; Houdayer C et al. Hum Mutat, 2004 Feb;23:193-202; Ambry internal data). In multiple assays testing RB1 function, this variant showed functionally abnormal results (Gámez-Pozo A et al. Hum Mutat, 2007 Dec;28:1245; Johnson BE et al. Science, 2014 Jan;343:189-193; Houdayer C et al. Hum Mutat, 2008 Jul;29:975-82). Of note, this variant is also referred to as c.2658+1G>A and g.170403G>A in the literature. This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). This nucleotide position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In silico splice site analysis predicts that this alteration will weaken the native splice donor site. Alterations that disrupt the canonical splice site are expected to cause aberrant splicing, resulting in an abnormal protein or a transcript that is subject to nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. As such, this alteration is classified as a disease-causing mutation.
