Genes affected

PRPH2 (HGNC:9942): (peripherin 2) The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the transmembrane 4 superfamily, also known as the tetraspanin family. Most of these members are cell-surface proteins that are characterized by the presence of four hydrophobic domains. The proteins mediate signal transduction events that play a role in the regulation of cell development, activation, growth and motility. This encoded protein is a cell surface glycoprotein found in the outer segment of both rod and cone photoreceptor cells. It may function as an adhesion molecule involved in stabilization and compaction of outer segment disks or in the maintenance of the curvature of the rim. This protein is essential for disk morphogenesis. Defects in this gene are associated with both central and peripheral retinal degenerations. Some of the various phenotypically different disorders are autosomal dominant retinitis pigmentosa, progressive macular degeneration, macular dystrophy and retinitis pigmentosa digenic.

The variant NM_000322.4:c.136C>T in the PRPH2 gene has been previously studied (PMIDs 8111389, 20213611, 23105016, 25412400, 25412400, 28559085, 29555955, 29343940). We found this variant in 2 patient(s) in a PRPH2 cohort study (Reeves et al. 2020). This variant is listed in dbSNP and/or HGMD (rs61755771,CM930635). It is present in gnomAD browser (AF 0.0000163). It is enriched in the PRPH2 disease cohort. We invoked ACMG criteria [PVS1, PS4, PM2, PP1-M, PP5] and classified NM_000322.4:c.136C>T in the PRPH2 gene as a Pathogenic mutation. -

Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg46*) in the PRPH2 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in PRPH2 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 8111389, 8485575, 8485576, 8675410, 16916875, 17504850, 22863181, 25675413, 26061163, 27365499, 29555955, 33546218). This variant is present in population databases (rs61755771, gnomAD 0.009%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individuals with autosomal dominant retinitis pigmentosa (adRP), macular dystrophy, or cone-rod dystrophy (PMID: 7880786, 8111389, 25447119, 28559085, 29555955). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 13179). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
