Retinal disorders v4.50 VWA8 Arina Puzriakova Tag watchlist tag was added to gene: VWA8.
Retinal disorders v4.50 VWA8 Arina Puzriakova Classified gene: VWA8 as Amber List (moderate evidence)
Retinal disorders v4.50 VWA8 Arina Puzriakova Added comment: Comment on list classification: New gene added by Hannah Knight. A single family (PMID: 37012052) with 11 individuals all presenting initial symptoms of visual defects which later progressed to macular changes, including macular degeneration and dystrophy. Two variants (c.3070G>A;c.4558C>T (p.Gly1024Arg; p.Arg1520Ter)) on the same allele of the VWA8 gene were found to segregate with disease. Expression studies showed reduced protein expression. Zebrafish knockdown model displayed a similar phenotype to that of humans.

Although there is only one family reported to date, multi-generational segregation with disease and concordant phenotype in a knockdown zebrafish model supports pathogenicity and therefore rating Amber with a 'watchlist' tag.
Retinal disorders v4.50 VWA8 Arina Puzriakova Gene: vwa8 has been classified as Amber List (Moderate Evidence).

Added comment: PMID: 37012052 (2023) identified VWA8 as a novel cause of adRP in a four generation family with 11 affected family members.
6 of the affected members appear to have been tested and confirmed to carry the variant, while 5 unaffected members appear to have been confirmed NOT to
