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 17 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a hotspot region, there are 17 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 1 benign, 6 uncertain in NM_000350.3
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• 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, 0.985
• PP5: Variant 1-94007707-T-C is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr1-94007707-T-C is described in ClinVar as Pathogenic/Likely_pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 417994.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change replaces lysine, which is basic and polar, with glutamic acid, which is acidic and polar, at codon 1978 of the ABCA4 protein (p.Lys1978Glu). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with ABCA4-related conditions (PMID: 25066811, 28041643; internal data). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 417994). 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%. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Significance: Likely pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The K1978E variant has been published as a pathogenic variant in association with Stargardt disease (Zernant et al., 2014) and observed in trans with other pathogenic variants in patients tested at GeneDx. The K1978E variant is not observed in large population cohorts (Lek et al., 2016). The K1978E variant is a non-conservative amino acid substitution, which is likely to impact secondary protein structure as these residues differ in polarity, charge, size and/or other properties. This substitution occurs at a position that is conserved across species. In silico analysis predicts this variant is probably damaging to the protein structure/function. Missense variants in nearby residues (G1977S, T1979I, T1981R) have been reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database in association with ABCA4-related disorders (Stenson et al., 2014). In summary, based on the currently available information, this variant is likely pathogenic. -

The variant is not observed in the gnomAD v2.1.1 dataset. In silico tool predictions suggest damaging effect of the variant on gene or gene product (REVEL: 0.99; 3Cnet: 0.99). Same nucleotide change resulting in same amino acid change has been previously reported to be associated with ABCA4 related disorder (ClinVar ID: VCV000417994 / PMID: 25066811). The variant has been reported to be in trans with a pathogenic variant as either compound heterozygous or homozygous in at least one similarly affected unrelated individual (PMID: 25066811). Therefore, this variant is classified as likely pathogenic according to the recommendation of ACMG/AMP guideline. -
