Retinal disorders v8.17 CFI Achchuthan Shanmugasundram Classified gene: CFI as Red List (low evidence)
Retinal disorders v8.17 CFI Achchuthan Shanmugasundram Gene: cfi has been classified as Red List (Low Evidence).

Retinal disorders v8.15 CFI Achchuthan Shanmugasundram Phenotypes for gene: CFI were changed from Early Onset Drsen Maculopathy to Macular degeneration, age related, 13, susceptibility to, OMIM:615439; retinal disorder, MONDO:0005283
Retinal disorders v8.14 CFI Ida Ertmanska commented on gene: CFI: Comment on list classification: Macular degeneration was reported in two Tunisian patients, heterozygous for a CFI variant. The reported variant is also common in healthy Tunisian controls. Hence, the gene can only be rated as Red with the current evidence.
Retinal disorders v8.14 CFI Ida Ertmanska changed review comment from: PMID: 25986072 – Two families with carriers of CFI:c.1234G>A p.(Val412Met). 24yo heterozygous carrier Fam3-01 displayed early-onset drusen maculopathy. Individual Fam1-01, 68yo, had advanced age-related macular degeneration – time of onset unknown. 10/200 unrelated Tunisian Jewish controls were reported to carry for the variant (5% allele freq) - too high to cause the disorder. The variant is also present in gnomAD v4.1.0: highest allele freq = 0.0004954 (Middle Eastern population; no homozygotes).

Added comment: A rare heterozygous variant in CFI was identified in two Tunisian families: one affected by early-onset drusen maculopathy and the other by “advanced AMD,” although the age of onset in the latter is unknown (PMID: 25986072). Functional studies provide evidence that rare, highly penetrant CFI variants contribute to the genetic burden of AMD (PMIDs: 25788521, 23685748), supporting a potential mechanistic link between these variants and dominantly inherited early-onset drusen maculopathy.
