Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 12 ACMG points: 12P and 0B. PM2_SupportingPM3_SupportingPP1PP4PVS1

This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: NM_000329.3(RPE65):c.304G>T (p.Glu102Ter) is a nonsense variant that introduces a premature stop codon into exon 4 of 14, and is predicted to lead to nonsense-mediated decay in a gene in which loss-of-function is an established mechanism of disease (PVS1). This variant is present in gnomAD v.2.1.1 at a GrpMax allele frequency of 0.00004117, with 9 alleles / 113674 total alleles in the European (non-Finnish) population, which is lower than the ClinGen LCA / eoRD VCEP PM2_Supporting threshold of <0.0002 (PM2_Supporting). At least one proband harboring this variant exhibits a phenotype including childhood onset, nystagmus (1 pt), nyctalopia, reduced visual acuity (1 pt), undetectable electroretinogram responses from rods (0.5 pts) and cones (1 pt), and decreased peripheral vision (1 pt), which together are specific for RPE65-related recessive retinopathy (4.5 total pts, PMID:11095629, PP4). This variant has been reported in at least 1 proband with early-onset severe retinal dystrophy who was homozygous for the variant (0.5 pts, PMID:15512997, PM3_Supporting). The variant has been reported to segregate with childhood-onset severe retinal dystrophy through the proband plus 1 similarly affected relative, with the variant present in the homozygous state (PMID:15512997, PP1). In summary, this variant meets the criteria to be classified as Pathogenic for RPE65-related recessive retinopathy based on the ACMG/AMP criteria applied, as specified by the ClinGen LCA / eoRD VCEP: PVS1, PM2_Supporting, PM3_Supporting, PP1, and PP4. (VCEP specifications version 1.0.0; date of approval 09/21/2023). LINK:https://erepo.genome.network/evrepo/ui/classification/CA226540/MONDO:0100368/120

Genes affected
RPE65 (HGNC:10294): (retinoid isomerohydrolase RPE65) The protein encoded by this gene is a component of the vitamin A visual cycle of the retina which supplies the 11-cis retinal chromophore of the photoreceptors opsin visual pigments. It is a member of the carotenoid cleavage oxygenase superfamily. All members of this superfamily are non-heme iron oxygenases with a seven-bladed propeller fold and oxidatively cleave carotenoid carbon:carbon double bonds. However, the protein encoded by this gene has acquired a divergent function that involves the concerted O-alkyl ester cleavage of its all-trans retinyl ester substrate and all-trans to 11-cis double bond isomerization of the retinyl moiety. As such, it performs the essential enzymatic isomerization step in the synthesis of 11-cis retinal. Mutations in this gene are associated with early-onset severe blinding disorders such as Leber congenital. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2017]
