Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely pathogenic. The variant received 9 ACMG points: 9P and 0B. PP1_Moderate PS3_Supporting PP3_Strong PM2_Supporting PP4

This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: NM_001034853.2(RPGR):c.179G>T (p.Gly60Val) is a missense variant that replaces glycine with valine at amino acid 60. This variant is absent from hemizygous individuals in gnomAD v4.1.0 (PM2_supporting). At least one proband harboring this variant exhibits a phenotype including family history consistent with X-linked inheritance (2 pts) with delayed or milder phenotype in females (1 pt), visual field reduction (0.5 pts), central vision problem (0.5 pts) since 6 years of age (1 pt), poor night vision (0.5 pts), pigmentary retinopathy (0.5 pts), and nondetectable electroretinogram responses, which together are specific for RPGR-related retinopathy (6 points, PMID:9855162, PP4). This variant has been reported in other publications, however, the ability to conclude that the probands described are unrelated was not successful (PMIDs: 28559085, 10937588, 34985506, 9399904, 9855162). The variant has been reported to segregate with retinal dystrophy through at least 4 meioses from at least 1 family (PP1_moderate; PMID: [9855162]). The computational predictor REVEL gives a score of 0.98, which is above the ClinGen X-linked IRD VCEP threshold of ≥ 0.932 and predicts a damaging effect on RPGR function (PP3_strong). The computational splicing predictor SpliceAI gives a delta score of 0.19 for acceptor loss, which is below the ClinGen X-linked IRD VCEP threshold of >0.2 and does not predict that the variant disrupts RPGR splicing. Exogenously expressed RPGR harboring the variant exhibits reduced interaction with RPGRIP1 in a yeast-2-hybrid experiment (PMID:23213406, 23213406, PS3_supporting). In summary, this variant is classified as likely pathogenic for RPGR-related retinopathy based on the ClinGen X-linked Inherited Retinal Disease Expert Panel Specifications to the ACMG/AMP Variant Interpretation Guidelines for RPGR Version 1.0.0; PM2_supporting, PP1_moderate, PP3_strong, PS3_supporting, and PP4.

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.
