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]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 12 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Splicing +-2 bp (donor or acceptor) variant, product NOT destroyed by NMD, known LOF gene, truncates exone, which is 0.041666668 fraction of the gene. Cryptic splice site detected, with MaxEntScore 5.9, offset of 4, new splice context is: caaGTgagg. Cryptic site results in frameshift change. If cryptic site found is not functional and variant results in exon loss, it results in inframe change.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 14-88391457-T-C is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr14-88391457-T-C is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 189245.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars. Variant chr14-88391457-T-C is described in Lovd as [Likely_pathogenic].

Significance: Likely pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The 94+2T>C variant in SPATA7 has not been previously reported. This variant occurs in the invariant region (+/- 1/2) of the splice consensus sequence and is predicted to cause altered splicing leading to an abnormal or absent protein. However, this predictive information, in the absence of functional data, is not enough to conclude pathogenicity but does suggest the variant is likely pathogenic. -

Significance: Likely pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change affects a donor splice site in intron 2 of the SPATA7 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 SPATA7 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 19268277, 22334370, 23847139, 26047050, 26261414). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with SPATA7-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 189245). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. -
