Variant summary
Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points: 18P and 0B. PVS1PM2PP5_Very_Strong
The NM_130837.3(OPA1):c.2296C>T(p.Arg766*) variant causes a stop gained change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000137 in 1,461,654 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Likely pathogenic (★★). Variant results in nonsense mediated mRNA decay.

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg711*) in the OPA1 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in OPA1 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 11440988, 20157015, 20952381, 25012220). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with optic atrophy (PMID: 11810270). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 216979). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Nonsense variant predicted to result in protein truncation or nonsense mediated decay in a gene for which loss-of-function is a known mechanism of disease; Not observed in large population cohorts (gnomAD); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 22865259, 25525159, 33841295, 11810270, 34242285) -
This variant is expected to result in the loss of a functional protein. This variant has not been reported in large, multi-ethnic general populations (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org). This variant has been identified in at least one individual with dominant optic atrophy (DOA). -
The OPA1 c.2296C>T; p.Arg766Ter variant (rs863224906; ClinVar Variation ID: 216979) has been previously identified in an individual with a personal and family consistent with dominantly inherited optic atrophy (Delettre 2001). Located in exon 23 (of 31) is variant is expected to result in a truncated or absent protein product. Additionally, this variant is absent from general population databases (1000 Genomes Project, Exome Variant Server, and Genome Aggregation Database). As loss of function is an established disease mechanism in OPA1-mediated optic atrophy, based on the available information, this variant is considered pathogenic. Pathogenic variants in OPA1 are associated with autosomal dominant optic atrophy 1 (MIM: 165500) and autosomal recessive Behr syndrome (MIM: 210000). -
OPA1-related disorder Pathogenic:2
The OPA1 c.2296C>T variant is predicted to result in premature protein termination (p.Arg766*). This variant can also be denoted as c.2131C>T (p.Arg711*) in the transcript NM_015560. This variant has been reported in individuals with autosomal dominant optic atrophy (see for examples Delettre et al. 2001. PubMed ID: 11810270; Weisschuh et al. 2021. PubMed ID: 34242285). This variant has not been reported in a large population database, indicating this variant is rare. Nonsense variants in OPA1 are expected to be pathogenic. Given the evidence, we interpret this variant as pathogenic. -
Variant summary: OPA1 c.2131C>T (p.Arg711X) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. The variant was absent in 251228 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.2131C>T has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with OPA1-Related Disorders (examples: Delettre_2001, Reis_2013, Li_2017). These data indicate that the variant is likely to be associated with disease. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 11810270, 28081242, 22865259). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 216979). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
