Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 16 ACMG points: 16P and 0B. PVS1 PP5_Very_Strong

The NM_000350.3(ABCA4):​c.4537delC​(p.Gln1513ArgfsTer13) variant causes a frameshift, splice region change. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000716 in 1,397,456 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. 1/1 splice prediction tools predict no significant impact on normal splicing. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic (★★). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. Q1513Q) has been classified as Likely pathogenic. Variant results in nonsense mediated mRNA decay.

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.

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Gln1513Argfs*13) in the ABCA4 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in ABCA4 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 10958761, 24938718, 25312043, 26780318). The frequency data for this variant in the population databases is considered unreliable, as metrics indicate poor data quality at this position in the gnomAD database. This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individuals with ABCA4-related retinal dystrophies (PMID: 19028736, 20696155). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 438096). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
