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	Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp	Apr 29, 2022	This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Thr1721Hisfs*65) in the ABCA4 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in ABCA4 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 10958761, 24938718, 25312043, 26780318). This variant is present in population databases (rs61750566, gnomAD 0.002%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with Stargardt Disease (PMID: 10090887, 25312043, 25444351, 28041643, 29925512). This variant is also known as 5161delAC. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 99349). 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, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	GeneDx	Sep 04, 2015	The c.5161_5162delAC deletion in the ABCA4 gene has been reported previously in association with Stargardt disease (Maugeri et al., 1999; Papaioannou et al., 2000; Briggs et al., 2001). The deletion causes a frameshift starting with codon Threonine 1721, changes this amino acid to a Histidine residue and creates a premature Stop codon at position 65 of the new reading frame, denoted p.Thr1721HisfsX65. This variant is predicted to cause loss of normal protein function either through protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. Therefore, we interpret this variant as pathogenic. -
