Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 10 ACMG points: 10P and 0B. PVS1 PP4 PM2_Supporting

This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: NM_000180.4(GUCY2D):c.3224+1G>C disrupts a canonical splice site in intron 18 and is predicted to lead to skipping of an out-of-frame exon and disruption of a critical C-terminal region of GUCY2D (PVS1). This variant is present in gnomAD v.4.1.0 at a total allele frequency of 0.000005125, with 8 alleles /1561036 total alleles, which is lower than the ClinGen LCA/eoRD VCEP PM2_Supporting threshold of <0.0004 (PM2_Supporting). At least one proband harboring this variant exhibits a phenotype including diagnosis of Leber congenital amaurosis (0.5 pts), decreased central visual acuity (1 pt) with onset in the first year of life (1 pt), nystagmus (1 pt), decreased peripheral vision (1 pt), retinal vessel attenuation with granularity of peripheral fundus (0.5 pts), outer nuclear layer thickness on OCT within normal limits (1 pt), poor pupillary light response (0.5 pts), and undetectable electroretinogram responses from rods (0.5 pts). and cones (1 pt), which together are highly specific for GUCY2D-related recessive retinopathy but cannot reach the PP4_Moderate level without genetic testing details (total 8 points, PMID:23035049, PP4). In summary, this variant meets the criteria to be classified as pathogenic for GUCY2D-related recessive retinopathy based on the ACMG/AMP criteria applied, as specified by the ClinGen LCA/eoRD VCEP: PVS1, PM2_Supporting, and PP4. (VCEP specifications version 1.0.0; date of approval 01/22/2025). LINK:https://erepo.genome.network/evrepo/ui/classification/CA8366346/MONDO:0100453/167

Genes affected

GUCY2D (HGNC:4689): (guanylate cyclase 2D, retinal) This gene encodes a retina-specific guanylate cyclase, which is a member of the membrane guanylyl cyclase family. Like other membrane guanylyl cyclases, this enzyme has a hydrophobic amino-terminal signal sequence followed by a large extracellular domain, a single membrane spanning domain, a kinase homology domain, and a guanylyl cyclase catalytic domain. In contrast to other membrane guanylyl cyclases, this enzyme is not activated by natriuretic peptides. Mutations in this gene result in Leber congenital amaurosis and cone-rod dystrophy-6 diseases.
