RCV003516357 | SCV004297233 | likely pathogenic | Retinoblastoma | 2024-02-18 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | This sequence change falls in intron 22 of the RB1 gene. It does not directly change the encoded amino acid sequence of the RB1 protein. It affects a nucleotide within the consensus splice site. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This variant has been observed in individual(s) with retinoblastoma (PMID: 20090211). This variant is also known as IVS 22+5 g.162115G>C. Variants that disrupt the consensus splice site are a relatively common cause of aberrant splicing (PMID: 17576681, 9536098). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. This variant disrupts the c.2325+5G nucleotide in the RB1 gene. Other variant(s) that disrupt this nucleotide have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 1662795, 16269091, 24225018). This suggests that this nucleotide is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this position 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. |
