Genes affected
CRX (HGNC:2383): (cone-rod homeobox) The protein encoded by this gene is a photoreceptor-specific transcription factor which plays a role in the differentiation of photoreceptor cells. This homeodomain protein is necessary for the maintenance of normal cone and rod function. Mutations in this gene are associated with photoreceptor degeneration, Leber congenital amaurosis type III and the autosomal dominant cone-rod dystrophy 2. Several alternatively spliced transcript variants of this gene have been described, but the full-length nature of some variants has not been determined. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with glutamine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 40 of the CRX protein (p.Arg40Gln). This variant is present in population databases (rs771450991, gnomAD 0.003%). This missense change has been observed in individuals with clinical features of autosomal dominant CRX-related conditions (PMID: 28041643, 32581362, 32927963; Invitae). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 437959). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt CRX protein function with a positive predictive value of 80%. This variant disrupts the p.Arg40 amino acid residue in CRX. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 31626798, 32533067). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
