The R1640W variant has been reported on the same allele (in cis) with the W1408R variant in families with Stargardt disease, and in a family presenting with both Stargardt disease and retinitis pigmentosa, when in trans with another pathogenic variant (Valverde et al, 2006; Shroyer et al, 2001). Shroyer et al. (2001) showed very little protein from cells transfected with the W1408R and R1640W variants in cis; however, proteins bearing only the W1408R or the R1640W variants appear to have mild or moderate defects in expression or stability. The R1640W variant was not observed in approximately 6,500 individuals of European and African American ancestry in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, indicating it is not a common benign variant in these populations. The R1640W variant is a non-conservative amino acid substitution, which is likely to impact secondary protein structure as these residues differ in polarity, charge, size and/or other properties. This substitution occurs at a position that is conserved across species. We interpret R1640W as a pathogenic variant.
