The NM_000329.3(RPE65):c.1355T>G (p.Val452Gly) variant is a missense variant in RPE65 causing a substitution of valine with glycine at position 452. This variant is present in gnomAD v.4.1.0 at a Grpmax allele frequency of 0.00001064, with 3/74896 alleles in the African/African American population, which is lower than the ClinGen LCA/eoRD VCEP PM2_Supporting threshold of <0.0002 (PM2_Supporting). The computational predictor REVEL gives a score of 0.945, which is above the ClinGen LCA/eoRD VCEP threshold of ≥ 0.773 and predicts a damaging effect on RPE65 function (PP3_Moderate). This variant has been reported in at least 2 probands with early-onset severe retinal dystrophy who were compound heterozygous with either the p.Arg91Trp variant or the c.11+5G>A variant confirmed in trans (2 points, PMID: 9501220; laboratory-provided internal data), which were previously classified pathogenic or likely pathogenic by the ClinGen LCA/eoRD VCEP (2 total points, PM3_Strong). In summary, this variant meets the criteria to be classified as Likely Pathogenic for RPE65-related recessive retinopathy based on the ACMG/AMP criteria applied, as specified by the ClinGen LCA/eoRD VCEP: PM2_Supporting, PP3_Moderate, PM3_Strong (VCEP specifications version 1.0.0; date of approval 09/21/2023).
