Genes affected

AIPL1 (HGNC:359): (aryl hydrocarbon receptor interacting protein like 1) Leber congenital amaurosis (LCA) is the most severe inherited retinopathy with the earliest age of onset and accounts for at least 5% of all inherited retinal diseases. Affected individuals are diagnosed at birth or in the first few months of life with nystagmus, severely impaired vision or blindness and an abnormal or flat electroretinogram. The photoreceptor/pineal-expressed gene, AIPL1, encoding aryl-hydrocarbon interacting protein-like 1, is located within the LCA4 candidate region. The encoded protein contains three tetratricopeptide motifs, consistent with chaperone or nuclear transport activity. Mutations in this gene may cause approximately 20% of recessive LCA. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2014]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 12 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product undergoes nonsense mediated mRNA decay. LoF is a known mechanism of disease.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 17-6427036-G-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr17-6427036-G-A is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 99804.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars. Variant chr17-6427036-G-A is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic]. Variant chr17-6427036-G-A is described in Lovd as [Likely_pathogenic].

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Gln163*) in the AIPL1 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in AIPL1 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 10615133, 15249368, 15347646). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with Leber congenital amaurosis (PMID: 10873396). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 99804). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
