Genes affected

ABCA4 (HGNC:34): (ATP binding cassette subfamily A member 4) The membrane-associated protein encoded by this gene is a member of the superfamily of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters. ABC proteins transport various molecules across extra- and intracellular membranes. ABC genes are divided into seven distinct subfamilies (ABC1, MDR/TAP, MRP, ALD, OABP, GCN20, White). This protein is a member of the ABC1 subfamily. Members of the ABC1 subfamily comprise the only major ABC subfamily found exclusively in multicellular eukaryotes. This protein is a retina-specific ABC transporter with N-retinylidene-PE as a substrate. It is expressed exclusively in retina photoreceptor cells, and the gene product mediates transport of an essental molecule, all-trans-retinal aldehyde (atRAL), across the photoreceptor cell membrane. Mutations in this gene are found in patients diagnosed with Stargardt disease, a form of juvenile-onset macular degeneration. Mutations in this gene are also associated with retinitis pigmentosa-19, cone-rod dystrophy type 3, early-onset severe retinal dystrophy, fundus flavimaculatus, and macular degeneration age-related 2.

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Invitae	Dec 14, 2023	This sequence change affects codon 2114 of the ABCA4 mRNA. It is a 'silent' change, meaning that it does not change the encoded amino acid sequence of the ABCA4 protein. This variant is present in population databases (rs61748520, gnomAD 0.004%). This variant has been observed in individual(s) with Stargardt disease (PMID: 23918662, 28041643). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 99452). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Pathogenic:2

Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	research	Broad Center for Mendelian Genomics, Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard	Dec 03, 2018	The heterozygous c.6342G>A variant in ABCA4 was identified by our study in the compound heterozygous state, with a likely pathogenic variant, in one individual with Stargardt disease. The presence of this variant in combination with a likely pathogenic variant increases the likelihood that the c.6342G>A variant is pathogenic. This variant has been identified in 0.001804% (5/277140) of chromosomes and by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org; dbSNP rs61748520). Although this variant has been seen in the general population, its frequency is low enough to be consistent with a recessive carrier frequency. Computational prediction tools and conservation analyses do not provide strong support for or against an impact to the protein. In vitro functional studies with keratinocytes from a patient with the variant in the heterozygous state provide some evidence that the c.6342G>A variant may impact protein function by creating a premature donor splice site, causing exon skipping of Exon 46 (PMID: 23918662). However, these types of assays may not accurately represent biological function. In summary, although additional studies are required to fully establish its clinical significance, the c.6342G>A variant is likely pathogenic.

The ABCA4 c.6342G>A variant is not predicted to result in an amino acid change (p.=). This variant has been reported in the compound heterozygous state in patients with Stargardt disease, and functional studies support its pathogenicity (Braun et al. 2013. PubMed ID: 23918662; Carss et al. 2016. PubMed ID: 28041643). This variant is reported in 0.0040% of alleles in individuals of African descent in gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/variant/1-94466602-C-T). This variant is interpreted as likely pathogenic. -
