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.

ACMG classification

Our verdict: Pathogenic. The variant received 19 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a hotspot region, there are 11 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 0 benign, 9 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 chr1-94011333-T-C is described in ClinVar as Pathogenic/Likely_pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 236134.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.
• PP2: Missense variant in the gene, where a lot of missense mutations are associated with disease in ClinVar. The gene has 578 curated pathogenic missense variants (we use a threshold of 10). The gene has 28 curated benign missense variants. Gene score misZ: -0.65813 (below the threshold of 3.09). Trascript score misZ: 1.3628 (below the threshold of 3.09). GenCC associations: The gene is linked to cone-rod dystrophy 3, retinitis pigmentosa 19, ABCA4-related retinopathy, severe early-childhood-onset retinal dystrophy, cone-rod dystrophy, Stargardt disease, retinitis pigmentosa.
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.952
• PP5: Variant 1-94011334-G-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr1-94011334-G-A is described in ClinVar as Pathogenic/Likely_pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 99381.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. This variant disrupts the p.His183 amino acid residue in ABCA4. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 28771251). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. 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. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 99381). This missense change has been observed in individuals with clinical features of ABCA4-related conditions (PMID: 9973280, 30029497, 33732702). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change replaces histidine, which is basic and polar, with tyrosine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 1838 of the ABCA4 protein (p.His1838Tyr). -
