RCV002568711 | SCV003761381 | likely pathogenic | GUCY2D retinopathy | 2023-01-25 | criteria provided, single submitter | curation | The heterozygous p.Glu841Ter variant in GUCY2D was identified by our study, in the compound heterozygous state with a variant of uncertain significance (dbSNP ID: rs768080447) in one individual with cone-rod dystrophy. This individual also carried a variant of uncertain significance (dbSNP ID: rs768080447), however the phase of these variants is unknown at this time. The p.Glu841Ter variant in GUCY2D has not been previously reported in the literature in individuals with GUCY2D retinopathy, but has been identified in 0.0008% (1/125568) of chromosomes by TopMed (https://bravo.sph.umich.edu/, dbSNP ID: rs1341592819). Although this variant has been seen in the general population in a heterozygous state, its frequency is low enough to be consistent with a recessive carrier frequency. This variant has also been reported in ClinVar (Variation ID: 974643) and has been interpreted as pathogenic by the Institut Imagine Laboratory of Genetics in Ophthalmology. This nonsense variant leads to a premature termination codon at position 841, which is predicted to lead to a truncated or absent protein. Loss of function of the GUCY2D gene is an established disease mechanism in autosomal recessive GUCY2D retinopathy. In summary, although additional studies are required to fully establish its clinical significance, this variant is likely pathogenic for autosomal recessive GUCY2D retinopathy.
