Genes affected

USH2A (HGNC:12601): (usherin) This gene encodes a protein that contains laminin EGF motifs, a pentaxin domain, and many fibronectin type III motifs. The protein is found in the basement membrane, and may be important in development and homeostasis of the inner ear and retina. Mutations within this gene have been associated with Usher syndrome type IIa and retinitis pigmentosa. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

Variant summary: USH2A c.11815G>A (p.Glu3939Lys) results in a conservative amino acid change located in the Fibronectin type III domain (IPR003961) of the encoded protein sequence. Three of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00049 in 250102 control chromosomes in the gnomAD database, including 1 homozygotes. This frequency is not significantly higher than estimated for a pathogenic variant in USH2A causing Usher Syndrome (0.00049 vs 0.011), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. c.11815G>A has been reported in the literature in individuals/families affected with retinitis pigmentosa and multifocal choroiditis (Neveling_2012, Tajiguli_2016, Haer-Wigman_2017, Jespersgaard_2019, McGowan_2020, Li_2021, Hufnagel_2022, Caliskan_2024) but it has also been reported in unaffected homozygous individuals (gnomAD and PMID:34426522) or individuals with unrelated conditions (PMID: 37684519), indicating it could be a benign polymorphism. In at least one of these reports, the variant was determined to not segregate in the affected family (Neveling_2012). The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 38576124, 28224992, 35266249, 30718709, 32707200, 32579692, 22334370, 26856745, 37684519). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 178574). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as VUS-possibly benign. -

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

Variant classified as Uncertain Significance - Favor Benign. The p.Glu3939Lys va riant in USH2A has been previously reported in 4 individuals with hearing loss a nd in 3 individuals with retinitis pigmentosa (Neveling 2012, Tajiguli 2016, Hae r-Wigman 2017, LMM data); however, none of these individuals had a second pathog enic variant identified in the USH2A gene. This variant has also been identified in 0.15% (15/10150) of Ashkenazi Jewish and 0.08% (97/125366) of European chrom osomes, including one homozygote, by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD, ht tp://gnomad.broadinstitute.org; dbSNP rs146264950). Computational prediction too ls and conservation analysis do not provide strong support for or against an imp act to the protein. In summary, while the clinical significance of the p.Glu393 9Lys variant is uncertain, its frequency suggests that it is more likely to be b enign. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: BS1_Supporting. -
