Genes affected
PDE6B (HGNC:8786): (phosphodiesterase 6B) Photon absorption triggers a signaling cascade in rod photoreceptors that activates cGMP phosphodiesterase (PDE), resulting in the rapid hydrolysis of cGMP, closure of cGMP-gated cation channels, and hyperpolarization of the cell. PDE is a peripheral membrane heterotrimeric enzyme made up of alpha, beta, and gamma subunits. This gene encodes the beta subunit. Mutations in this gene result in retinitis pigmentosa and autosomal dominant congenital stationary night blindness. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2009]
PDE6B-AS1 (HGNC:40438): (PDE6B antisense RNA 1)

ACMG classification

Classification was made for transcript

Our verdict: Likely_pathogenic. The variant received 6 ACMG points.

PVS1
Splicing +-2 bp (donor or acceptor) variant, product NOT destroyed by NMD, known LOF gene, truncates exone, which is 0.01871345 fraction of the gene. Cryptic splice site detected, with MaxEntScore 6.8, offset of 48, new splice context is: acgaaatgttcaaatttcAGgta. Cryptic site results in inframe 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 4-656244-G-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr4-656244-G-A is described in ClinVar as Pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 3645828.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.

This sequence change affects an acceptor splice site in intron 7 of the PDE6B 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 PDE6B are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 8394174, 8595886, 22334370). This variant is present in population databases (no rsID available, gnomAD 0.003%). Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individuals with autosomal recessive retinitis pigmentosa (PMID: 26497376; Invitae). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
