Variant summary
Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 14 ACMG points: 14P and 0B. PM5PP3_StrongPP5_Very_Strong
The NM_206933.4(USH2A):c.1606T>C(p.Cys536Arg) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0000409 in 1,613,792 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic (★★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. C536S) has been classified as Likely pathogenic.

Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: Tachida2024[preprint], 38347443, 27957503, 15043528, 16963483, 14676276, 27068579, 18273898, 31047448, 28944237, 28574513, 27318125, 26927203, 28559085, 22135276, 21738395, 21569298, 21151602, 15241801, 33576794, 31964843, 36555390, 32037395, 36011334, 34948090, 35452909, 34781295, 35266249, 36819107, 30718709, 37217489, 36460718, 10909849, 38219857, 38987893, Ogorodova2024[CaseReport]) -

This sequence change replaces cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, with arginine, which is basic and polar, at codon 536 of the USH2A protein (p.Cys536Arg). This variant is present in population databases (rs111033273, gnomAD 0.004%). This missense change has been observed in individuals with Usher syndrome (PMID: 10909849, 28559085). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 48471). 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 USH2A protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Variant summary: USH2A c.1606T>C (p.Cys536Arg) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the Laminin-type EGF domain (IPR002049) of the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 2.4e-05 in 250998 control chromosomes. c.1606T>C has been reported in the literature in the homozygous state in multiple individuals affected with Usher Syndrome (example, Dad_2016, Neuhaus_2017). These data indicate that the variant is likely to be associated with disease. At least one publication reports experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function. The most pronounced variant effect results in completely abolished binding activity in vitro to partner protein, collagen IV (example, Bhattacharya_2004). The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 14676276, 27957503, 28944237). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 48471). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
