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.

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

This sequence change replaces tyrosine, which is neutral and polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 141 of the PRPH2 protein (p.Tyr141Cys). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individuals with autosomal dominant retinitis pigmentosa or pattern dystrophy (PMID: 16113362, 16799052, 25082885, 25097241). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 98666). 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 PRPH2 protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects PRPH2 function (PMID: 25001182). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Apr 01, 2021
Broad Center for Mendelian Genomics, Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard
Significance: Pathogenic
Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method: curation

The p.Tyr141Cys variant in PRPH2 was identified in an individual with Retinitis pigmentosa, via a collaborative study between the Broad Institute's Center for Mendelian Genomics and the Pierce lab (https://oculargenomics.meei.harvard.edu/labs/pierce-lab/lab-members/). Through a review of available evidence we were able to apply the following criteria: PM2, PP3, PS3, PP1, PS4. Based on this evidence we have classified this variant as Pathogenic. If you have any questions about the classification please reach out to the Pierce Lab. -
