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.

ACMG classification

Our verdict: Pathogenic. The variant received 18 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Splicing +-2 bp (donor or acceptor) variant, LoF is a know mechanism of disease, No cryptic splice site detected. Exon removal results in frameshift change.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 1-94021238-A-T is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr1-94021238-A-T is described in ClinVar as Pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 99337.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

The c.5018+2 T>A variant has been reported previously in association with Stargardt disease (Rivera etal., 2000). This variant destroys the canonical splice donor site in intron 35, and is expected to causeabnormal gene splicing either leading to an abnormal message that is subject to nonsense-mediated mRNAdecay, or to an abnormal protein product if the message is used for protein translation. The c.5018+2 T>Avariant was not observed in approximately 6,500 individuals of European and African American ancestry inthe NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, indicating it is not a common benign variant in these populations. Given the available evidence, we interpret c.5018+2 T>A as a pathogenic variant. -

This sequence change affects a donor splice site in intron 35 of the ABCA4 gene. It is expected to disrupt RNA splicing. Variants that disrupt the donor or acceptor splice site typically lead to a loss of protein function (PMID: 16199547), and loss-of-function variants in ABCA4 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 10958761, 24938718, 25312043, 26780318). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individual(s) with Stargardt disease (PMID: 10958763, 19074458, 28947085, 29925512). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 99337). 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. -
