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 creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Thr1721Hisfs*65) 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). This variant is present in population databases (rs61750566, gnomAD 0.002%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with Stargardt Disease (PMID: 10090887, 25312043, 25444351, 28041643, 29925512). This variant is also known as 5161delAC. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 99349). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

The c.5161_5162delAC deletion in the ABCA4 gene has been reported previously in association with Stargardt disease (Maugeri et al., 1999; Papaioannou et al., 2000; Briggs et al., 2001). The deletion causes a frameshift starting with codon Threonine 1721, changes this amino acid to a Histidine residue and creates a premature Stop codon at position 65 of the new reading frame, denoted p.Thr1721HisfsX65. This variant is predicted to cause loss of normal protein function either through protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. Therefore, we interpret this variant as pathogenic. -
