Published by Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.Genome analysis of individuals affected by retinitis pigmentosa (RP) identified two rare nucleotide substitutions at the same genomic location on chromosome 11 (g.61392563 [GRCh38]), 69 base pairs upstream of the start codon of the ciliopathy gene TMEM216 (c.-69G>A, c.-69G>T [GenBank: NM_001173991.3]), in individuals of South Asian and African ancestry, respectively. Genotypes included 71 homozygotes and 3 mixed heterozygotes in trans with a predicted loss-of-function allele. Haplotype analysis showed single-nucleotide variants (SNVs) common across families, suggesting ancestral alleles within the two distinct ethnic populations. Clinical phenotype analysis of 62 available individuals from 49 families indicated a similar clinical presentation with night blindness in the first decade and progressive peripheral field loss thereafter. No evident systemic ciliopathy features were noted. Functional characterization of these variants by luciferase reporter gene assay showed reduced promotor activity. Nanopore sequencing confirmed the lower transcription of the TMEM216 c.-69G>T allele in blood-derived RNA from a heterozygous carrier, and reduced expression was further recapitulated by qPCR, using both leukocytes-derived RNA of c.-69G>T homozygotes and total RNA from genome-edited hTERT-RPE1 cells carrying homozygous TMEM216 c.-69G>A. In conclusion, these variants explain a significant proportion of unsolved cases, specifically in individuals of African ancestry, suggesting that reduced TMEM216 expression might lead to abnormal ciliogenesis and photoreceptor degeneration.NOVA Medical School|Faculdade de Ciências Médicas (NMS|FCM)RUNMalka, SamanthaBiswas, PoojaBerry, Anne MarieSangermano, RiccardoUllah, MukhtarLin, SiyingD'Antonio, MatteoJestin, AleksandrJiao, XiaodongQuinodoz, MathieuSullivan, LoriGardner, Jessica C.Place, Emily M.Michaelides, MichelKaminska, KarolinaMahroo, Omar A.Schiff, ElenaWright, GenevieveCancellieri, FrancescaVaclavik, VeronikaSantos, CristinaRehman, Atta UrMehrotra, SudeepAzhar Baig, Hafiz MuhammadIqbal, MuhammadAnsar, MuhammadSantos, Luisa CoutinhoSousa, Ana BertaTran, Viet H.Matsui, HirokoBhatia, AnjanaNaeem, Muhammad AsifAkram, Shehla J.Akram, JavedRiazuddin, SheikhAyuso, CarmenPierce, Eric A.Hardcastle, Alison J.Riazuddin, S.
