Genes affected
CRX (HGNC:2383): (cone-rod homeobox) The protein encoded by this gene is a photoreceptor-specific transcription factor which plays a role in the differentiation of photoreceptor cells. This homeodomain protein is necessary for the maintenance of normal cone and rod function. Mutations in this gene are associated with photoreceptor degeneration, Leber congenital amaurosis type III and the autosomal dominant cone-rod dystrophy 2. Several alternatively spliced transcript variants of this gene have been described, but the full-length nature of some variants has not been determined. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLabcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), LabcorpNov 06, 2023This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with glutamine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 41 of the CRX protein (p.Arg41Gln). This variant is present in population databases (rs61748436, gnomAD 0.007%). This missense change has been observed in individuals with autosomal dominant and autosomal recessive retinal disease (PMID: 9427255, 11748859, 24265693, 29068479, 30543658, 31215831; Invitae). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 7421). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt CRX protein function with a positive predictive value of 80%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects CRX function (PMID: 11971869). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
CRX-related disorder Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, no assertion criteria providedclinical testingPreventionGenetics, part of Exact SciencesSep 17, 2024The CRX c.122G>A variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Arg41Gln. This variant has been reported in multiple individuals with CRX-related retinal disease (for examples, see Swain et al. 1997. PubMed ID: 9427255; Blanco-Kelly et al. 2012. PubMed ID: 22736939, Eisenberger et al. 2013. PubMed ID: 24265693). This variant is located in the DNA-binding domain of the CRX protein and is predicted to reduce DNA-binding activity (Swain et al. 1997. PubMed ID: 9427255). Variants impacting the same amino acid have been shown to be pathogenic for CRC-related retinal disease (p.Arg41Trp; Swain et al. 1997). PubMed ID: 9427255This variant is reported in 0.0065% of alleles in individuals of European (Non-Finnish) descent in gnomAD. This variant is interpreted as pathogenic. -
