IVS6–2A->T (AG to TG)
Case#: Morimura_1998_Family_0748_Patient_II-1, female, age and family origin not specified
CasePresentingHPOs: HP:0000546 (Retinal degeneration)
CaseHPOFreeText: While specific phenotypes are not provided, the initial diagnosis of Leber congenital amaurosis indicates that the proband was either born blind or lost vision within a period of months after birth.
CaseNotHPOs: N/A
CaseNotHPOFreeText: N/A
CasePreviousTesting: All 14 RPE65 exons and flanking sequences were PCR-amplified and subjected to single-strand conformation polymorphism analysis (SSCA).
CaseMethod1: Screening of PCR-amplified RPE65 exons using SSCA
CaseMethod2: Sanger sequencing of all 14 exons of RPE65
CaseGenotypingMethod: PCR-amplified exons identified by SSCA as candidates to harbor variants were subjected to Sanger sequencing.
Variant: The proband is a homozygote within the RPE65 locus, harboring the NM_000329.3(RPE65):c.643+2T>A variant.
ClinVar: 940479 (homozygous)
gnomAD: The NM_000329.3(RPE65):c.643+2T>A variant is not found within gnomAD.
VariantEvidence: NM_000329.3(RPE65):c.643+2T>A is an intron 6 variant strongly predicted to disrupt a canonical splice donor site (with a delta score of 0.98).
CaseAddInfo: While the variant is known to be homozygous, the proband's parents have not been genotyped. The potential consanguinity of the parents was not mentioned.
CasePMIDs: N/A
