Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 13 ACMG points: 13P and 0B. PM3_StrongPP1_StrongPP3_ModeratePP4_ModeratePM2_Supporting

This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: The NM_000329.3(RPE65):c.1022T>C (p.Leu341Ser) missense variant replaces the leucine at position 341 with serine and has been reported in several patients. At least one patient (analyzed on a 100+ retinal dystrophy gene panel testing (2 pt) in PMID:23847139) who displayed a non-detectable ERG (2 pt), visual acuity 20/400 OD and OS (1 pt), visual field of central island only (1 pt), nystagmus (1 pt), nyctalopia (1 pt), and no pigment in peripheral retina, which is highly specific for RPE65 retinopathy (PP4_Moderate). One patient was compound heterozygous for this variant and a pathogenic pathogenic variant (c.1205_1206insCCTG classified Pathogenic by the LCA/eoRD VCEP) confirmed in trans by parental testing (PMID:9501220) and two probands were homozygous for the variant (PMID:9501220, PMID:15837919) (PM3_strong). The variant has been reported to segregate with RPE65 retinopathy (confirmed by absent or severely decreased rod electroretinogram response) in the proband plus 3 affected family members, all with the compound heterozygous genotype of Leu341Ser and c.1205_1206insCCTG variants. (PP1_strong; PMID:9501220). The computational predictor REVEL gives a score of 0.988 and predicts a damaging effect on RPE65 function (PP3_Moderate). This variant is absent from gnomAD v2.1.1 and has a Grpmax Filtering AF of 0.00005290 in gnomAD v.3.1.2 (PM2_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: PP1_strong, PM3_strong, PP3_Moderate, PP4_Moderate, PM2_supporting. (VCEP specifications version 1.0.0; date of approval 09/21/2023). LINK:https://erepo.genome.network/evrepo/ui/classification/CA226472/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]

The variant is not observed in the gnomAD v2.1.1 dataset. Predicted Consequence/Location: Missense variant In silico tool predictions suggest damaging effect of the variant on gene or gene product [REVEL: 0.93 (>=0.6, sensitivity 0.68 and specificity 0.92); 3Cnet: 0.97 (>=0.6, sensitivity 0.72 and precision 0.9)]. Same nucleotide change resulting in same amino acid change has been previously reported as pathogenic/likely pathogenic with strong evidence (ClinVar ID: VCV000005896 /PMID: 1659948 /3billion dataset). The variant has been reported to co-segregate with the disease in at least 7 similarly affected relatives/individuals in at least two unrelated families (PMID: 30172468, 30931713). A different missense change at the same codon (p.Thr704Ala) has been reported to be associated with SCN4A related disorder (PMID: 36796140). Therefore, this variant is classified as Pathogenic according to the recommendation of ACMG/AMP guideline. -

Variant summary: RPE65 c.1022T>C (p.Leu341Ser) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant was absent in 250484 control chromosomes. c.1022T>C has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Retinitis pigmentosa (Morimura_1998). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. The following publication have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 9501220). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 13118). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

The NM_000329.3(RPE65):c.1022T>C (p.Leu341Ser) missense variant replaces the leucine at position 341 with serine and has been reported in several patients. At least one patient (analyzed on a 100+ retinal dystrophy gene panel testing (2 pt) in PMID: 23847139) who displayed a non-detectable ERG (2 pt), visual acuity 20/400 OD and OS (1 pt), visual field of central island only (1 pt), nystagmus (1 pt), nyctalopia (1 pt), and no pigment in peripheral retina, which is highly specific for RPE65 retinopathy (PP4_Moderate). One patient was compound heterozygous for this variant and a pathogenic pathogenic variant (c.1205_1206insCCTG classified Pathogenic by the LCA/eoRD VCEP) confirmed in trans by parental testing (PMID: 9501220) and two probands were homozygous for the variant (PMID: 9501220, PMID: 15837919) (PM3_strong). The variant has been reported to segregate with RPE65 retinopathy (confirmed by absent or severely decreased rod electroretinogram response) in the proband plus 3 affected family members, all with the compound heterozygous genotype of Leu341Ser and c.1205_1206insCCTG variants. (PP1_strong; PMID: 9501220). The computational predictor REVEL gives a score of 0.988 and predicts a damaging effect on RPE65 function (PP3_Moderate). This variant is absent from gnomAD v2.1.1 and has a Grpmax Filtering AF of 0.00005290 in gnomAD v.3.1.2 (PM2_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: PP1_strong, PM3_strong, PP3_Moderate, PP4_Moderate, PM2_supporting.

This sequence change replaces leucine, which is neutral and non-polar, with serine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 341 of the RPE65 protein (p.Leu341Ser). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with Leber congenital amaurosis or retinitis pigmentosa (PMID: 9501220, 18539930, 19854499, 20079931, 20683928). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 13118). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt RPE65 protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
