Description
This sequence change replaces threonine, which is neutral and polar, with methionine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 17 of the RHO protein (p.Thr17Met). This variant is present in population databases (rs104893769, gnomAD 0.007%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with autosomal dominant retinitis pigmentosa (PMID: 1897520, 28559085). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 13018). 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) has been performed at Invitae for this missense variant, however the output from this modeling did not meet the statistical confidence thresholds required to predict the impact of this variant on RHO protein function. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects RHO function (PMID: 19913029). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.
