Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 10 ACMG points: 10P and 0B. PM2_SupportingPM3_SupportingPVS1

This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: NM_000329.3(RPE65):c.370C>T (p.Arg124Ter) is a nonsense variant that introduces a premature stop codon into exon 5 of 14, and is predicted to lead to nonsense-mediated decay in a gene in which loss-of-function is an established mechanism of disease (PVS1). This variant is present in gnomAD v.2.1.1 at a GrpMax allele frequency of 0.00002191, with 9 alleles / 24480 total alleles in the African/African-American population, which is lower than the ClinGen LCA / eoRD VCEP PM2_Supporting threshold of <0.0002 (PM2_Supporting). This variant has been reported in at least 1 proband with early-onset severe retinal dystrophy who was homozygous for the variant (0.5 pts, PMID:35129589, PM3_Supporting). In summary, this variant meets the criteria to be classified as pathogenic for RPE65-related recessive retinopathy based on the ACMG/AMP criteria applied, as specified by the ClinGen LCA / eoRD VCEP: PVS1, PM2_Supporting, PM3_Supporting. (VCEP specifications version 1.0.0; date of approval 09/21/2023). LINK:https://erepo.genome.network/evrepo/ui/classification/CA226545/MONDO:0100368/120

Genes affected
RPE65 (HGNC:10294): (retinoid isomerohydrolase RPE65) The protein encoded by this gene is a component of the vitamin A visual cycle of the retina which supplies the 11-cis retinal chromophore of the photoreceptors opsin visual pigments. It is a member of the carotenoid cleavage oxygenase superfamily. All members of this superfamily are non-heme iron oxygenases with a seven-bladed propeller fold and oxidatively cleave carotenoid carbon:carbon double bonds. However, the protein encoded by this gene has acquired a divergent function that involves the concerted O-alkyl ester cleavage of its all-trans retinyl ester substrate and all-trans to 11-cis double bond isomerization of the retinyl moiety. As such, it performs the essential enzymatic isomerization step in the synthesis of 11-cis retinal. Mutations in this gene are associated with early-onset severe blinding disorders such as Leber congenital. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2017]
