Genes affected

RPGR (HGNC:10295): (retinitis pigmentosa GTPase regulator) This gene encodes a protein with a series of six RCC1-like domains (RLDs), characteristic of the highly conserved guanine nucleotide exchange factors. The encoded protein is found in the Golgi body and interacts with RPGRIP1. This protein localizes to the outer segment of rod photoreceptors and is essential for their viability. Mutations in this gene have been associated with X-linked retinitis pigmentosa (XLRP). Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants that encode different isoforms of this gene have been reported, but the full-length natures of only some have been determined.

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The RPGR c.179G>T; p.Gly60Val variant (rs62638634) has been reported in several individuals with X-linked retinitis pigmentosa (Buraczynska 1997, Sharon 2000, Stone 2017) and has been reported to segregate with disease in at least one family (Fishman 1998). The variant is reported in the ClinVar database (Variation ID: 9902) but is absent from general population databases (Exome Variant Server, Genome Aggregation Database), indicating it is not a common polymorphism. The glycine at codon 60 is highly conserved, computational algorithms (PolyPhen-2, SIFT) predict this variant is deleterious, and structural analysis predicts this amino acid is critical in protein function and the variant causes reduced protein interaction (Patil 2012). Considering available information, this variant is classified as pathogenic. References: Buraczynska M et al.

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: no assertion criteria provided

Collection Method: clinical testing

The RPGR c.179G>T variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Gly60Val. This variant has been reported in individuals with retinitis pigmentosa (Buraczynska et al. 1997. PubMedID: 9399904; Sharon et al. 2003. PubMed ID: 14564670; Table S3, Tuupanen et al. 2022. PubMed ID: 34985506). An in silico functional study suggests this variant causes misfolding of a particular domain of the protein (Patil et al. 2012. PubMed ID: 23213406). This variant has been classified as pathogenic by multiple independent submitters to the ClinVar database (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/9902/). Given the evidence, we interpret this variant as pathogenic. -

This sequence change replaces glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, with valine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 60 of the RPGR protein (p.Gly60Val). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individuals with retinitis pigmentosa (PMID: 9399904, 9855162, 10937588). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 9902). 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 RPGR protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change does not substantially affect RPGR function (PMID: 19815619, 20631154). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
