Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points: 18P and 0B. PM1 PM2 PM5 PP3_Strong PP5_Very_Strong

The NM_000350.3(ABCA4):​c.3323G>T​(p.Arg1108Leu) variant causes a missense change. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000137 in 1,461,884 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Likely pathogenic (★★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. R1108C) has been classified as Likely pathogenic.

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.

ABCA4 (HGNC:):

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a hotspot region, there are 6 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 0 benign, 3 uncertain in NM_000350.3
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PM5: Other missense variant is known to change same aminoacid residue: Variant chr1-94042767-G-A is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 92867.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.994
• PP5: Variant 1-94042766-C-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr1-94042766-C-A is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 99220.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars. Variant chr1-94042766-C-A is described in Lovd as [Likely_pathogenic].

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp	Jan 04, 2024	This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with leucine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 1108 of the ABCA4 protein (p.Arg1108Leu). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individuals with Stargardt macular degeneration or cone-rod degeneration (PMID: 11527935, 28118664, 29854428). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 99220). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt ABCA4 protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. This variant disrupts the p.Arg1108 amino acid residue in ABCA4. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 10958763, 11379881, 26092729, 26103963, 30337596). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
