Genes affected

EYS (HGNC:21555): (eyes shut homolog) The product of this gene contains multiple epidermal growth factor (EGF)-like and LamG domains. The protein is expressed in the photoreceptor layer of the retina, and the gene is mutated in autosomal recessive retinitis pigmentosa. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2008]

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The variant is observed at an extremely low frequency in the gnomAD v2.1.1 dataset (total allele frequency: 0.014%). Protein truncation variants are a common disease-causing mechanism. In silico tool predictions suggest damaging effect of the variant on gene or gene product (REVEL: 0.76; 3Cnet: 0.41). Same nucleotide change resulting in same amino acid change has been previously reported as pathogenic/likely pathogenic with strong evidence (ClinVar ID: VCV000189230). The variant has been reported to be in trans with a pathogenic variant as either compound heterozygous or homozygous in at least one similarly affected unrelated individual (PMID: 20237254) and to co-segregate with the disease in at least 3 similarly affected relatives/individuals in the same family or similarly affected unrelated family (PMID:20237254). A different missense change at the same codon (p.Cys2139Arg) has been reported to be associated with EYS related disorder (ClinVar ID: VCV001066550 / PMID: 25366773). Therefore, this variant is classified as pathogenic according to the recommendation of ACMG/AMP guideline. -

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change replaces cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, with tyrosine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 2139 of the EYS protein (p.Cys2139Tyr). This variant is present in population databases (rs749909863, gnomAD 0.2%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with retinitis pigmentosa (PMID: 20333770, 25356976, 25753737). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 189230). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt EYS protein function with a positive predictive value of 80%. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

The p.Cys2139Tyr variant in EYS was identified in an individual with Retinitis pigmentosa, via a collaborative study between the Broad Institute's Center for Mendelian Genomics and the Pierce lab (https://oculargenomics.meei.harvard.edu/labs/pierce-lab/lab-members/). Through a review of available evidence we were able to apply the following criteria: PS1, PM2, PP1, PP3. Based on this evidence we have classified this variant as Likely Pathogenic.

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

Variant summary: EYS c.6416G>A (p.Cys2139Tyr) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the EGF-like domain (IPR000742) of the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00014 in 152386 control chromosomes. This frequency is not significantly higher than estimated for a pathogenic variant in EYS causing Retinitis Pigmentosa (0.00014 vs 0.0034), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. c.6416G>A has been reported in the literature as compound heterozygous or homozygous genotype in multiple individuals affected with autosomal ecessive Retinitis Pigmentosa (Rudo_2010, Chen_2015, Gu_2016). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 20333770, 25753737, 27375351). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 189230). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: no assertion criteria provided

Collection Method: clinical testing

The EYS c.6416G>A variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Cys2139Tyr. This variant, in either the compound heterozygous or homozygous states, has been reported in patients with inherited retinal disorders (Supplemental Table S5, Huang et al. 2015. PubMed ID: 25356976; Chen et al. 2015. PubMed ID: 25753737; Audo et al. 2010. PubMed ID: 20333770). This variant is reported in 0.18% of alleles in individuals of East Asian descent in gnomAD. Taken together, this variant is interpreted as pathogenic. -

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: flagged submission

Collection Method: clinical testing

The Cys2139Tyr variant in EYS has been reported in 3 compound heterozygous and 1 heterozygous individuals with retinitis pigmentosa and was found to segregate with disease in 3 compound heterozygous family members (Audo 2010, Abd El-Aziz 2010, Jin 2014). This variant was not identified in large population studies. Computational analyses (biochemical amino acid properties, conservation, PolyPhen2, and SIFT) don't provide strong support for or against and impact to the protein and one mammal carries a tyrosine (Tyr) at this position. In summary, while segregation studies and the presence of this variant in combination with other reported pathogenic variants indicate this variant may be disease-causing, the presence of the variant amino acid in a mammal raises some concern and additional studies are required to fully establish its clinical significance. -
