Genes affected

SPATA7 (HGNC:20423): (spermatogenesis associated 7) This gene, originally isolated from testis, is also expressed in retina. Mutations in this gene are associated with Leber congenital amaurosis and juvenile retinitis pigmentosa. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, May 2010]

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg395*) in the SPATA7 gene. While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the last 205 amino acid(s) of the SPATA7 protein. This variant is present in population databases (rs75895925, gnomAD 0.02%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individuals with juvenile-onset retinitis pigmentosa (PMID: 19268277, 21602930). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 1397). This variant disrupts a region of the SPATA7 protein in which other variant(s) (p.Asn454Lysfs*2) have been determined to be pathogenic (internal data). This suggests that this is a clinically significant region of the protein, and that variants that disrupt it are likely to be disease-causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Variant summary: SPATA7 c.1183C>T (p.Arg395X) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein, which is a commonly known mechanism for disease. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 4.8e-05 in 250134 control chromosomes. This frequency is not significantly higher than estimated for a pathogenic variant in SPATA7 causing Leber Congenital Amaurosis (4.8e-05 vs 0.00087), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. c.1183C>T has been reported either at a homozygous state or in trans along with a second pathogenic variant in at-least three individuals affected with early-onset ocular diseases including poor vision, ocular digital sign, fundus changes of attenuated vessels, tapetoretinal degeneration, retina degeneration, and/or extinguished ERG recording of rods and cones (example, Xiao_2019). These data indicate that the variant is likely to be associated with Leber Congenital Amaurosis. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publication have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 31908400). Three submitters have cited clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014. All submitters classified the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
