Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely pathogenic. The variant received 9 ACMG points: 9P and 0B. PP1_ModeratePP4_ModeratePM2_SupportingPM3PP3_Moderate

This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: NM_000180.4(GUCY2D):c.2384G>A (p.Arg795Gln) is a missense variant that replaces arginine with glutamine at position p.795. This variant is present in gnomAD v4.1.0 at a total allele frequency of 0.000009916, with 16 alleles / 1,613,582 total alleles, which is lower than the ClinGen LCA/eoRD VCEP PM2_Supporting threshold of <0.0004 (PM2_Supporting). This variant has been reported in at least 2 unrelated probands with early-onset severe retinal dystrophy who were homozygous for the variant (1 total point, PMIDs: 17724218, 31630094, PM3). The variant has been reported to segregate with childhood-onset severe retinal dystrophy through the proband plus 2 similarly affected relatives, with the variant present in the homozygous state (PP1_Moderate; PMID:26352687). At least one proband harboring this variant exhibits a phenotype including clinical diagnosis of Leber congenital amaurosis (0.5 pts) with onset at age 7 months (1 pt), genotyping by targeted exome sequencing without identification of another cause of retinal disease (2 pts), extinguished electroretinogram responses from both rods (0.5 pts) and cones (1 pt), nystagmus (1 pt), photophobia (1 pt), and no visual acuity (1 pt), which together are highly specific for GUCY2D-related recessive retinopathy (total 8 points, PMID:31630094, PP4_Moderate). The computational predictor REVEL gives a score of 0.83, which is above the ClinGen LCA/eoRD VCEP threshold of ≥0.773 and predicts a damaging effect on RetGC1 protein function (PP3_Moderate). In summary, this variant meets the criteria to be classified as likely pathogenic for GUCY2D-related recessive retinopathy based on the ACMG/AMP criteria applied, as specified by the ClinGen LCA/eoRD VCEP: PM2_Supporting, PM3, PP3_Moderate, and PP4_Moderate. (VCEP specifications version 1.0.0; date of approval 01/22/2025). LINK:https://erepo.genome.network/evrepo/ui/classification/CA8366103/MONDO:0100453/167

Genes affected
GUCY2D (HGNC:4689): (guanylate cyclase 2D, retinal) This gene encodes a retina-specific guanylate cyclase, which is a member of the membrane guanylyl cyclase family. Like other membrane guanylyl cyclases, this enzyme has a hydrophobic amino-terminal signal sequence followed by a large extracellular domain, a single membrane spanning domain, a kinase homology domain, and a guanylyl cyclase catalytic domain. In contrast to other membrane guanylyl cyclases, this enzyme is not activated by natriuretic peptides. Mutations in this gene result in Leber congenital amaurosis and cone-rod dystrophy-6 diseases.
