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.

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces glutamic acid, which is acidic and polar, with lysine, which is basic and polar, at codon 1087 of the ABCA4 protein (p.Glu1087Lys). This variant is present in population databases (rs61751398, gnomAD 0.01%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with Stargardt disease, Leber congenital amaurosis, or cone-rod dystrophy (PMID: 9054934, 19265867, 22264887, 28559085, 30576320). 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: 99211). 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 are conflicting or provide insufficient evidence to determine the effect of this variant on ABCA4 function (PMID: 11017087). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Published functional studies suggest a damaging effect with reduced protein expression and decreased ATPase activity (Sun et al., 2000); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 12824224, 22264887, 20128570, 11328725, 11702214, 11017087, 23883535, 9054934, 14709597, 27820952, 32845050, 29925512, 30204727, 32619608, 28559085, 30576320, 19265867) -

The ABCA4 c.3259G>A variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Glu1087Lys. This variant is reported in the compound heterozygous state in many individuals with Stargardt disease or ABCA4-related retinal disease (Allikmets et al. 1997. PubMed ID: 9054934; Stone et al. 2017. PubMed ID: 28559085; Karali et al. 2022. PubMed ID: 36460718; Bianco et al. 2023. PubMed ID: 37498587). The p.Glu1087Lys amino acid change is located within the well-defined Walker A motif of nucleotide-binding-domain 1 that is critical for binding and ATP hydrolysis (Curtis et al. 2020. PubMed ID: 32845050). Site-directed mutagenesis revealed that this variant exhibited diminished protein expression compared to the wildtype ABCA4 protein (Curtis et al. 2020. PubMed ID: 32845050). Individuals with this variant are reported to have severe phenotypes with an age of onset before 10 years (Fakin et al. 2016. PubMed ID: 27820952). This variant is reported in 0.0098% of alleles in individuals of South Asian descent in gnomAD and has been reported as pathogenic by many submitters to ClinVar (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/99211/). Taken together, this variant is interpreted as pathogenic. -

Same nucleotide change resulting in same amino acid change has been previously reported as pathogenic/likely pathogenic with strong evidence (ClinVar ID: VCV000099211, PMID:9054934, PS1_S). A different missense change at the same codon has been reported as pathogenic/likely pathogenic with strong evidence (ClinVar ID: VCV000099212,VCV001068257, PMID:14517951,29925512, PM5_M). In silico tool predictions suggest damaging effect of the variant on gene or gene product (REVEL: 0.966, 3CNET: 0.994, PP3_P). A missense variant is a common mechanism associated with Retinitis pigmentosa 19 (PP2_P). It is observed at an extremely low frequency in the gnomAD v2.1.1 dataset (total allele frequency: 0.000012, PM2_M). Therefore, this variant is classified as pathogenic according to the recommendation of ACMG/AMP guideline. -
