Genes affected

CEP290 (HGNC:29021): (centrosomal protein 290) This gene encodes a protein with 13 putative coiled-coil domains, a region with homology to SMC chromosome segregation ATPases, six KID motifs, three tropomyosin homology domains and an ATP/GTP binding site motif A. The protein is localized to the centrosome and cilia and has sites for N-glycosylation, tyrosine sulfation, phosphorylation, N-myristoylation, and amidation. Mutations in this gene have been associated with Joubert syndrome and nephronophthisis and the presence of antibodies against this protein is associated with several forms of cancer.

The CEP290 c.4966G>T (p.Glu1656Ter) variant is a stop-gained variant predicted to result in a premature truncation of the protein. The p.Glu1656Ter variant has been reported in three studies in patients with CEP290-related disorders in which it is found in a total of four affected individuals with Leber congenital amaurosis including three in a compound heterozygous state, all with the same known pathogenic stop-gained variant on the second allele, and one in a heterozygous state (den Hollander et al. 2006; Walia et al. 2010; Halbritter et al. 2013). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with other CEP290-related phenotypes. The p.Glu1656Ter variant was absent from 192 controls and is reported at a frequency of 0.00019 in the European (non-Finnish) population of the Exome Aggregation Consortium though this is based on only two alleles in a region of good sequence coverage so the variant is presumed rare. Due to the potential impact of stop-gained variants and the supporting evidence, the p.Glu1656Ter variant is classified as likely pathogenic for CEP290-related disorders. This variant was observed by ICSL as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. -

The CEP290 c.4966G>T variant is predicted to result in premature protein termination (p.Glu1656*). This variant has been reported in the compound heterozygous state in individuals with Leber congenital amaurosis or Joubert syndrome (den Hollander et al. 2006. PubMed ID: 16909394; Table S2, Summers et al. 2017. PubMed ID: 28497568; Sheck et al. 2018. PubMed ID: 29398085; Walia et al. 2010. PubMed ID: 20079931). This variant is reported in 0.0096% of alleles in individuals of European (Non-Finnish) descent in gnomAD. Nonsense variants in CEP290 are expected to be pathogenic. This variant is interpreted as pathogenic. -

The heterozygous p.Glu1656Ter variant in CEP290 was identified by our study in the compound heterozygous state, along with a variant of uncertain significance, in 1 individual with Leber congenital amaurosis 10. The variant has been reported in at least 2 individuals of unknown ethnicity with Leber congenital amaurosis 10 (PMID: 20079931), and has been identified in 0.0096% (7/72796) of European non-Finnish chromosomes by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org; dbSNP ID: rs62638179). Although this variant has been seen in the general population, its frequency is low enough to be consistent with a recessive carrier frequency. This variant has also been reported in ClinVar (Variation ID: 99857) as pathogenic by GeneDx and Invitae, and as likely pathogenic by Illumina Clinical Services Laboratory. This nonsense variant leads to a premature termination codon at position 1656, which is predicted to lead to a truncated or absent protein. Loss of function of the CEP290 gene is an established disease mechanism in autosomal recessive Leber congenital amaurosis 10. The presence of this variant in combination with reported pathogenic variants, and in at least 2 individuals with Leber congenital amaurosis 10 increases the likelihood that the p.Glu1656Ter variant is pathogenic (PMID: 20079931). In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for Leber congenital amaurosis 10 in an autosomal recessive manner based on the predicted impact of the variant and multiple occurrences with pathogenic CEP290 variants in affected individuals. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: PVS1, PM2, PM3 (Richards 2015). -

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Glu1656*) in the CEP290 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in CEP290 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 16909394, 17345604, 20690115). This variant is present in population databases (rs62638179, gnomAD 0.01%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with Leber congenital amaurosis, Joubert syndrome, or nephronophthisis-associated ciliopathy (PMID: 16909394, 20079931, 23188109, 23559409, 28497568). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 99857). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

The p.Glu1656Ter variant in CEP290 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/). 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. -
