Genes affected
FAM161A (HGNC:25808): (FAM161 centrosomal protein A) This gene belongs to the FAM161 family. It is expressed mainly in the retina. Mouse studies suggested that this gene is involved in development of retinal progenitors during embryogenesis, and that its activity is restricted to mature photoreceptors after birth. Mutations in this gene cause autosomal recessive retinitis pigmentosa-28. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been identified.[provided by RefSeq, Jan 2011]

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Cys501Valfs*4) in the FAM161A gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in FAM161A are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 20705278, 20705279, 24651477). This variant is present in population databases (rs767414973, gnomAD 0.02%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individuals with retinitis pigmentosa or a retinal dystrophy (PMID: 23591405, 25097241, 26574802). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 552429). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

FAM161A-related disorder Pathogenic:1

Significance:Pathogenic
Review Status:no assertion criteria provided
Collection Method:clinical testing

The FAM161A c.1501delT variant is predicted to result in a frameshift and premature protein termination (p.Cys501Valfs*4). This variant has been reported in the homozygous and compound heterozygous state in individuals with retinitis pigmentosa (Table S1, Glöckle et al 2014. PubMed ID: 23591405; Wang et al. 2014. PubMed ID: 25097241; Table S1, Weisschuh et al. 2020. PubMed ID: 32531858). This variant is reported in 0.013% of alleles in individuals of European (Non-Finnish) descent in gnomAD. Frameshift variants in FAM161A are expected to be pathogenic, and this variant has been classified as pathogenic by multiple independent submitters to the ClinVar database (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/552429). Given the evidence, we interpret this variant as pathogenic. -
