ClinVar

Description

This sequence change replaces tyrosine, which is neutral and polar, with histidine, which is basic and polar, at codon 141 of the PRPH2 protein (p.Tyr141His). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individuals with clinical features of PRPH2-related conditions (PMID: 11139263, 17653047, 34327195; Invitae). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 98665). 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 PRPH2 protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. This variant disrupts the p.Tyr141 amino acid residue in PRPH2. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 16113362, 16799052, 25001182, 25082885, 25097241). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.
