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.

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLaboratory for Molecular Medicine, Mass General Brigham Personalized MedicineFeb 26, 2015Variant classified as Uncertain Significance - Favor Benign. The c.8845+6_8845+9 delTAAG variant in USH2A has not been previously reported in individuals with he aring loss. This variant has been identified in 0.2% (16/10578) of African chro mosomes by the Exome Aggregation Consortium (ExAC, http://exac.broadinstitute.or g; dbSNP rs541344995). Although this variant has been seen in the general popul ation, its frequency is not high enough to rule out a pathogenic role. This vari ant is located in the 5' splice region. Computational tools do not suggest an im pact to splicing at the native 5' donor splice site. However, this information i s not predictive enough to rule out pathogenicity. In summary, while the clinica l significance of the c.8845+6_8845+9delTAAG variant is uncertain, the frequency data suggest that it is more likely to be benign. -
not provided Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeOct 13, 2022This sequence change falls in intron 44 of the USH2A gene. It does not directly change the encoded amino acid sequence of the USH2A protein. It affects a nucleotide within the consensus splice site. This variant is present in population databases (rs541344995, gnomAD 0.2%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with USH2A-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 229628). Variants that disrupt the consensus splice site are a relatively common cause of aberrant splicing (PMID: 17576681, 9536098). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may create or strengthen a splice site. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
