The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.000023 in 1,519,086 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. 1/1 splice prediction tools predicting alterations to normal splicing. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity (no stars).
CEP290 (HGNC:29021): (centrosomal protein 290) This gene encodes a protein with 13 putative coiled-coil domains, a region with homology to SMC chromosome segregation ATPases, six KID motifs, three tropomyosin homology domains and an ATP/GTP binding site motif A. The protein is localized to the centrosome and cilia and has sites for N-glycosylation, tyrosine sulfation, phosphorylation, N-myristoylation, and amidation. Mutations in this gene have been associated with Joubert syndrome and nephronophthisis and the presence of antibodies against this protein is associated with several forms of cancer.

The heterozygous c.4438-3delC variant in CEP290 was identified by our study in the compound heterozygous state, with a likely pathogenic variant, in one individual with Leber congenital amaurosis. The presence of this variant in combination with a likely pathogenic variant increases the likelihood that the c.4438-3delC variant is pathogenic. The c.4438-3delC variant in CEP290 has not been previously reported in individuals with Leber congenital amaurosis but has been identified in 0.002716% (5/184078) of chromosomes in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org; dbSNP rs747323414). Although this variant has been seen in the general population, the frequency is low enough to be consistent with a recessive carrier frequency. This variant is located in the 3' splice region. Computational prediction tools and conservation analyses do not provide strong support for or against an impact to the protein. In summary, additional studies are required to fully establish its clinical significance and the c.4438-3delC variant is uncertain. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: PM2, PM3_Supporting (Richards 2015). -

The CEP290 c.4438-3del variant was identified in an individual with retinitis pigmentosa with a presumed recessive inheritance pattern. Through a review of available evidence we were able to apply the following criteria: PVS1, PM2. Based on this evidence we have classified this variant as Likely Pathogenic. -

Based on the classification scheme VCGS_Germline_v1.3.5, this variant is classified as Pathogenic. Following criteria are met: 0102 - Loss of function is a known mechanism of disease in this gene and is associated with Joubert syndrome 5 (MIM#610188), Leber congenital amaurosis 10 (MIM#611755), Meckel syndrome 4 (MIM#611134) and Senior-Loken syndrome 6 (MIM#610189). (I) 0106 - This gene is associated with autosomal recessive disease. (I) 0212 - Non-canonical splice site variant without proven consequence on splicing (no functional evidence available). (SP) 0251 - This variant is heterozygous. (I) 0304 - Variant is present in gnomAD <0.01 for a recessive condition (35 heterozygotes, 0 homozygotes). (SP) 0505 - Abnormal splicing is predicted by in silico tools and affected nucleotide is highly conserved. (SP) 0705 - No comparable splice variants have previous evidence for pathogenicity. (I) 0801 - This variant has strong previous evidence of pathogenicity in unrelated individuals. This variant has been reported four times as likely pathogenic, once as pathogenic and once as a VUS (ClinVar) and in seven compound heterozygous individuals with Leber congenital amaurosis or undefined retinal disease (PMID: 37510321, 26529047, 33749171, 28559085, 21153841).

The CEP290 c.4438-3delC variant is predicted to result in an intronic deletion. This variant is predicted to significantly weaken the acceptor splice site (SpliceAI, Jaganathan et al. 2019. PubMed ID: 30661751) and has been reported along with a second causative variant in multiple unrelated patients with Leber congenital amaurosis (LCA) (Pasadhika et al. 2010. PubMed ID: 19959640, reported as IVS34-3 del1gC; Wiszniewski et al. 2011. PubMed ID: 21153841; Collison et al. 2015. PubMed ID: 26529047). This variant is reported in 0.010% of alleles in individuals of African descent in gnomAD. This variant is interpreted as likely pathogenic. -

This sequence change falls in intron 34 of the CEP290 gene. It does not directly change the encoded amino acid sequence of the CEP290 protein. It affects a nucleotide within the consensus splice site. This variant is present in population databases (rs747323414, gnomAD 0.01%). This variant has been observed in individuals with Leber congenital amaurosis (PMID: 19959640, 21153841, 26529047; Invitae). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 449448). Variants that disrupt the consensus splice site are a relatively common cause of aberrant splicing (PMID: 17576681, 9536098). 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. -
