The NM_000330.4(RS1):c.227T>A variant is a missense variant encoding the substitution of Valine with Aspartic acid at position 76. This variant is absent from hemizygous individuals in gnomAD v4.1.0 (PM2_Supporting). The computational predictor REVEL gives a score of 0.942, which is above the ClinGen X-linked IRD VCEP threshold of >0.932 and predicts a damaging effect on RS1 function (PP3_strong). The computational splicing predictor SpliceAI gives a delta score of 0 for all predictive splice changes, which is below the ClinGen X-linked IRD VCEP threshold of >0.2 and does not predict that the variant disrupts RS1 splicing. The variant has been reported to segregate with retinal dystrophy through at least 3 meioses in the same family (PP1_Strong; PMID: 28060400). At least one proband harboring this variant exhibits a phenotype including appearance of schisis and reduced visual acuity before age 13 years and showing retinal detachment, which together are highly specific for X-linked retinoschisis (PMID: 28060400, PP4_moderate). In summary, this variant is classified as pathogenic for X-linked retinoschisis based on the ClinGen X-linked Inherited Retinal Disease Expert Panel Specifications to the ACMG/AMP Variant Interpretation Guidelines for RS1 Version 1.0.0: PM2_supporting, PP3_strong, PP4_moderate, and PP1_strong (date of approval 01/24/2025).
