Genes affected

USH2A (HGNC:12601): (usherin) This gene encodes a protein that contains laminin EGF motifs, a pentaxin domain, and many fibronectin type III motifs. The protein is found in the basement membrane, and may be important in development and homeostasis of the inner ear and retina. Mutations within this gene have been associated with Usher syndrome type IIa and retinitis pigmentosa. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Gln81Tyrfs*28) in the USH2A gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in USH2A are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 10729113, 10909849, 20507924, 25649381). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individuals with USH2A-related disease (PMID: 10738000, 24367894, 29490346). This variant is also known as 239-242insCGTA. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 552849). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may create or strengthen a splice site. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Variant summary: USH2A c.236_239dupGTAC (p.Gln81TyrfsX28) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. Truncations downstream of this position have been classified as pathogenic by our laboratory. The variant was absent in 250878 control chromosomes. c.236_239dupGTAC has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Usher Syndrome. These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. Four clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. All laboratories classified the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

Review Status: no assertion criteria provided

Collection Method: clinical testing

The USH2A c.236_239dupGTAC variant is predicted to result in a frameshift and premature protein termination (p.Gln81Tyrfs*28). This variant was reported in multiple individuals with autosomal recessive Usher syndrome (also described as c.239_240insGTAC; Adato. 2000. PubMed ID: 10738000; Behar. 2013. PubMed ID: 24367894; Khalaileh. 2018. PubMed ID: 29490346; Bahena. 2021. PubMed ID: 34148116). This variant has not been reported in a large population database (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org), indicating this variant is rare. Frameshift variants in USH2A are expected to be pathogenic. This variant is interpreted as pathogenic. -
