Description
This sequence change replaces histidine, which is basic and polar, with tyrosine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 557 of the PDE6B protein (p.His557Tyr). This variant is present in population databases (rs121918581, gnomAD 0.04%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with inherited retinal dystrophy and/or retinitis pigmentosa (PMID: 25356976, 25827439, 29785639). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 13106). 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 PDE6B protein function. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.
