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.

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with leucine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 1129 of the ABCA4 protein (p.Arg1129Leu). This variant is present in population databases (rs1801269, gnomAD 0.2%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with Stargardt disease or cone-rod dystrophy (PMID: 19074458, 23755871, 27032803, 29114839). 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: 99224). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt ABCA4 protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects ABCA4 function (PMID: 11017087). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

The ABCA4 c.3386G>T variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Arg1129Leu. This variant has been reported to be causative for autosomal recessive retinal disorders and is a prevalent pathogenic variant in Mexican Stargardt disease patients (Bravo-Gil et al. 2016. PubMed ID: 27032803; Riveiro-Alvarez et al. 2007. PubMed ID: 17277736; Riveiro-Alvarez et al. 2013. PubMed ID: 23755871). This variant is reported in 0.17% of alleles in individuals of Latino descent in gnomAD. This variant is interpreted as pathogenic. -

The variant is observed at an extremely low frequency in the gnomAD v2.1.1 dataset (total allele frequency: 0.030%). Predicted Consequence/Location: Missense variant In silico tool predictions suggest damaging effect of the variant on gene or gene product [REVEL: 0.85 (>=0.6, sensitivity 0.68 and specificity 0.92); 3Cnet: 0.92 (>=0.6, sensitivity 0.72 and precision 0.9)]. Same nucleotide change resulting in same amino acid change has been previously reported as pathogenic/likely pathogenic with strong evidence (ClinVar ID: VCV000099224 /PMID: 9295268 /3billion dataset). The variant has been reported to be in trans with a pathogenic variant as either compound heterozygous or homozygous in at least one similarly affected unrelated individual (PMID: 23755871). Different missense changes at the same codon (p.Arg1129Cys, p.Arg1129Gly, p.Arg1129His) have been reported as pathogenic/likely pathogenic with strong evidence (ClinVar ID: VCV000298251, VCV000801515, VCV000865964 /PMID: 23953153, 9295268). Therefore, this variant is classified as Pathogenic according to the recommendation of ACMG/AMP guideline. -
