CEP290 (Centrosomal protein of 290 kDa) variants and mutations

CEP290 (also known as Centrosomal protein of 290 kDa) is a human protein-coding gene encoding a centrosomal protein of 290 kDa protein. It organizes the transition zone of primary and sensory cilia and is essential for ciliary protein trafficking, especially in photoreceptors. Biallelic pathogenic variants cause a broad ciliopathy spectrum including Leber congenital amaurosis, Joubert syndrome, and nephronophthisis-related disease. This analysis covers 3,422 CEP290 variants and mutations. Of these, 81% have computational variant effect predictions. Disease context includes Joubert syndrome 5, Leber congenital amaurosis 10, and Senior-Loken syndrome 6. Example CEP290 variants include M1I, M1K, and M1V.
