RCV002050277 | SCV002312149 | likely pathogenic | Retinitis pigmentosa 59 | 2021-08-12 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | This variant is a gross deletion of the genomic region encompassing exon(s) 7 of the DHDDS gene. While this deletion is not anticipated to lead to nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the C-terminus of the protein. This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with DHDDS-related conditions. Experimental studies and prediction algorithms are not available or were not evaluated, and the functional significance of this variant is currently unknown. This variant disrupts the p.Thr206 amino acid residue in DHDDS. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 24078709, 28130426). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. 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. |
