Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp	RCV001044603	SCV001208408	uncertain significance	Leber congenital amaurosis 2; Retinitis pigmentosa 20	2021-09-01	criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	This sequence change replaces alanine with aspartic acid at codon 357 of the RPE65 protein (p.Ala357Asp). The alanine residue is highly conserved and there is a moderate physicochemical difference between alanine and aspartic acid. This variant is present in population databases (rs187198628, ExAC 0.1%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with RPE65-related conditions. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function are either unavailable or do not agree on the potential impact of this missense change (SIFT: "Tolerated"; PolyPhen-2: "Probably Damaging"; Align-GVGD: "Class C15"). In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance.
Illumina Laboratory Services, Illumina	RCV001100474	SCV001256996	uncertain significance	Leber congenital amaurosis 2	2018-01-12	criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	This variant was observed in the ICSL laboratory as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. It had not been previously curated by ICSL or reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database (HGMD: prior to June 1st, 2018), and was therefore a candidate for classification through an automated scoring system. Utilizing variant allele frequency, disease prevalence and penetrance estimates, and inheritance mode, an automated score was calculated to assess if this variant is too frequent to cause the disease. Based on the score, this variant could not be ruled out of causing disease and therefore its association with disease required further investigation. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (if applicable). No publications were found based on this search. This variant was therefore classified as a variant of unknown significance for this disease.
