Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 12 ACMG points: 12P and 0B. PS1_Very_Strong PM1 PM2

The NM_022726.4(ELOVL4):​c.504G>T​(p.Leu168Phe) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. No clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar. Another nucleotide change resulting in the same amino acid substitution has been previously reported as Pathogenic in ClinVar. Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. L168L) has been classified as Likely benign.

Genes affected

ELOVL4 (HGNC:14415): (ELOVL fatty acid elongase 4) This gene encodes a membrane-bound protein which is a member of the ELO family, proteins which participate in the biosynthesis of fatty acids. Consistent with the expression of the encoded protein in photoreceptor cells of the retina, mutations and small deletions in this gene are associated with Stargardt-like macular dystrophy (STGD3) and autosomal dominant Stargardt-like macular dystrophy (ADMD), also referred to as autosomal dominant atrophic macular degeneration.

ACMG classification

Our verdict: Pathogenic. The variant received 12 ACMG points.

• PS1: Transcript NM_022726.4 (ELOVL4) is affected with MISSENSE_VARIANT having same AA change as one Pathogenic present in ClinVar.
• PM1: In a hotspot region, there are 2 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 0 benign, 3 uncertain in NM_022726.4
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
