Description
This sequence change replaces threonine, which is neutral and polar, with methionine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 745 of the CRB1 protein (p.Thr745Met). This variant is present in population databases (rs28939720, gnomAD 0.01%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with retinitis pigmentosa and/or Leber congenital amaurosis (PMID: 10508521, 15024725, 20956273, 23449718, 24715753). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 5733). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt CRB1 protein function with a positive predictive value of 80%. This variant disrupts the p.Thr745 amino acid residue in CRB1. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been observed in individuals with CRB1-related conditions (PMID: 10508521, 15024725, 20956273, 22968130, 23449718, 24715753), which suggests that this may be a clinically significant amino acid residue. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.
