Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely benign. The variant received -6 ACMG points: 0P and 6B. BP7BS1BP4

This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: The variant NM_000329.3(RPE65):c.978G>T, p.Val326= is a synonymous (silent) variant in exon 9. This variant is present in gnomAD v.4.0.0 at a GrpMax allele frequency of 0.004399, with 376 alleles/74964 total alleles in the African/African American population, which is greater than the ClinGen LCA/eoRD VCEP BS1 threshold of >0.0008 (BS1). The splicing impact predictor SpliceAI gives a delta score of 0.02, which is below the ClinGen LCA/eoRD VCEP recommended threshold of <0.1 and does not predict an impact on splicing (BP4, BP7). In summary, this variant meets the criteria to be classified as likely benign for RPE65-related recessive retinopathy based on the ACMG/AMP criteria applied, as specified by the ClinGen LCA/eoRD VCEP: BS1, BP4, BP7. (VCEP specifications version 1.0.0; date of approval 09/21/2023). LINK:https://erepo.genome.network/evrepo/ui/classification/CA226597/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]

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

This variant was observed as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (where applicable). Publications were found based on this search. However, the evidence from the literature, in combination with allele frequency data from public databases where available, was not sufficient to rule this variant in or out of causing disease. Therefore, this variant is classified as a variant of unknown significance. -

Review Status:reviewed by expert panel
Collection Method:curation

The variant NM_000329.3(RPE65):c.978G>T, p.Val326= is a synonymous (silent) variant in exon 9. This variant is present in gnomAD v.4.0.0 at a GrpMax allele frequency of 0.004399, with 376 alleles/74964 total alleles in the African/African American population, which is greater than the ClinGen LCA/eoRD VCEP BS1 threshold of >0.0008 (BS1). The splicing impact predictor SpliceAI gives a delta score of 0.02, which is below the ClinGen LCA/eoRD VCEP recommended threshold of <0.1 and does not predict an impact on splicing (BP4, BP7). In summary, this variant meets the criteria to be classified as likely benign for RPE65-related recessive retinopathy based on the ACMG/AMP criteria applied, as specified by the ClinGen LCA/eoRD VCEP: BS1, BP4, BP7. (VCEP specifications version 1.0.0; date of approval 09/21/2023). -
