Achchuthan Shanmugasundram (Genomics England Curator)

Green List (high evidence)

Comment on list classification: There are six unrelated families/ cases reported with biallelic SLC66A1 variants and retinal disorders. Hence, this gene should be promoted to green rating in the next GMS review.

PMID:35486108 reported whole-exome sequencing with targeted analysis of SLC genes in 913 cases from 785 families with inherited retinal dystrophy. This identified 2 different homozygous variants in SLC66A1 in three individuals from two families with adult-onset retinal dystrophy.

Olinger et al. (2024) (https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2949774424009804) reported CNV analysis of trio and non-trio WGS data from Genomics England 100K genomes project. This identified homozygous 21kb deletion spanning nearly entire SLC66A1 gene in 2 siblings with adult-onset rod-cone dystrophy, while parents are heterozygous carriers. Review of cohort data then identified homozygous loss-of-function variants (1 nonsense, 2 frameshift) in another 3 unrelated individuals with rod-cone dystrophy.

This gene has not yet been associated with any relevant phenotypes either in OMIM or in Gene2Phenotype.
