Variant summary
Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 18 ACMG points: 18P and 0B. PVS1PM2PP5_Very_Strong
The NM_001122769.3(LCA5):c.838C>T(p.Arg280*) variant causes a stop gained change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000274 in 1,460,954 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 Pathogenic (★★). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. R280R) has been classified as Likely benign. Variant results in nonsense mediated mRNA decay.

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg280*) in the LCA5 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in LCA5 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 17546029, 23946133). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with LCA5-related conditions (PMID: 8571951, 28041643). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 438153). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); 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; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 25412400, 8571951, 32581362, 28041643, 29068479, 32865313) -
