Genes affected

CHM (HGNC:1940): (CHM Rab escort protein) This gene encodes component A of the RAB geranylgeranyl transferase holoenzyme. In the dimeric holoenzyme, this subunit binds unprenylated Rab GTPases and then presents them to the catalytic Rab GGTase subunit for the geranylgeranyl transfer reaction. Rab GTPases need to be geranylgeranyled on either one or two cysteine residues in their C-terminus to localize to the correct intracellular membrane. Mutations in this gene are a cause of choroideremia; also known as tapetochoroidal dystrophy (TCD). This X-linked disease is characterized by progressive dystrophy of the choroid, retinal pigment epithelium and retina. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene.

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Splicing +-2 bp (donor or acceptor) variant, LoF is a know mechanism of disease, No cryptic splice site detected. Exon removal results in frameshift change.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant X-86027490-C-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chrX-86027490-C-A is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 279770.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars. Variant chrX-86027490-C-A is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic]. Variant chrX-86027490-C-A is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp	Jun 01, 2022	For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 279770). Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individual(s) with choroideremia (PMID: 21905166, 27247961). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change affects a donor splice site in intron 2 of the CHM gene. It is expected to disrupt RNA splicing. Variants that disrupt the donor or acceptor splice site typically lead to a loss of protein function (PMID: 16199547), and loss-of-function variants in CHM are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 9067750, 23811034). -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	GeneDx	Aug 04, 2016	The CHM gene encodes Rab escort protein 1, a RAB geranylgeranyl transferase subunit necessary for the postranslational modification and membrane targeting of Rab proteins (van den Hurk et al., 2003). Pathogenic variants in the CHM gene cause choroideremia, an X-linked form of retinal dystrophy characterized by retinal pigment epithelium and photoreceptor degeneration with eventual complete choroid atrophy and bare sclera (van den Hurk et al., 1997; Guo et al., 2015; Sanchez-Alcudia et al., 2016). Affected males have night blindness, tunnel vision, and may eventually become completely blind (van den Hurk et al., 2003). Rarely, female carriers may be affected, but typically have only mild cone dysfunction, mottled irregularity of the fundus, and yellowish flecks in the macula over time (Cremers et al., 1990, van den Hurk et al., 1997, Renner et al., 2009). -
