Genes affected

MERTK (HGNC:7027): (MER proto-oncogene, tyrosine kinase) This gene is a member of the MER/AXL/TYRO3 receptor kinase family and encodes a transmembrane protein with two fibronectin type-III domains, two Ig-like C2-type (immunoglobulin-like) domains, and one tyrosine kinase domain. Mutations in this gene have been associated with disruption of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) phagocytosis pathway and onset of autosomal recessive retinitis pigmentosa (RP).

This sequence change affects an acceptor splice site in intron 10 of the MERTK gene. It is expected to disrupt RNA splicing. Variants that disrupt the donor or acceptor splice site typically lead to a loss of protein function (PMID: 16199547), and loss-of-function variants in MERTK are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 24265693, 29659094). This variant is present in population databases (rs730880273, gnomAD 0.01%). Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individuals with retinitis pigmentosa (PMID: 11062461; Invitae). This variant is also known as IVS10-2A>G. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 5401). 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. -
