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.

Variant summary: RPGR c.905G>C (p.Cys302Ser) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Four of four in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00099 in 181930 control chromosomes, predominantly at a frequency of 0.012 within the African or African-American subpopulation in the gnomAD database, including 1 homozygote and 49 hemizygotes. The observed variant frequency within African or African-American control individuals in the gnomAD database is approximately 2-fold of the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in RPGR causing X-linked Retinitis Pigmentosa (0.012 vs. 0.005), strongly suggesting that the variant is a benign polymorphism found primarily in populations of African or African-American origin. Although c.905G>C has been reported in the literature in at least two individuals affected with Retinitis Pigmentosa (e.g. Wang_2014, Costa_2017), these reports do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with X-linked Retinitis Pigmentosa. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Two submitters have provided clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 and both classified the variant as benign/likely benign. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as benign.

This alteration is classified as benign based on a combination of the following: seen in unaffected individuals, population frequency, intact protein function, lack of segregation with disease, co-occurrence, RNA analysis, in silico models, amino acid conservation, lack of disease association in case-control studies, and/or the mechanism of disease or impacted region is inconsistent with a known cause of pathogenicity.
