Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely pathogenic. Variant got 6 ACMG points: 6P and 0B. PM3PVS1_ModeratePP4PM2_Supporting

This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: The c.5857+2T>C variant in USH2A has been identified in at least 3 probands with Usher syndrome, including two who were compound heterozygous for a second pathogenic variant though phase was not confirmed (PM3, PP4; PMID 20507924, 20507924, 18641288, LMM unpublished data SCV000065566.6). The allele frequency of this variant is 0.01% (2/15422) of European chromosomes by gnomAD, which is a low enough frequency to apply PM2_Supporting based on the thresholds defined by the ClinGen Hearing Loss Expert Panel for autosomal recessive hearing loss (PM2_Supporting). This variant occurs within the canonical splice site (+/- 1,2) and is predicted to cause altered splicing, though the exact impact is unknown. Exon 29 is in-frame, and if the variant results in exon skipping, it would remove <10% of the USH2A protein. However, two truncating pathogenic / likely pathogenic variants in this exon have been reported in ClinVar, which may suggest it is required for normal protein function (PVS1_Moderate). In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as likely pathogenic for autosomal recessive Usher syndrome based on the ACMG/AMP criteria applied as specified by the Hearing Loss Expert Panel (PVS1_Moderate, PM3, PP4, PM2_Supporting).

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.

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp	Jan 19, 2024	This sequence change affects a donor splice site in intron 29 of the USH2A gene. It is expected to disrupt RNA splicing. Variants that disrupt the donor or acceptor splice site typically lead to a loss of protein function (PMID: 16199547), and loss-of-function variants in USH2A are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 10729113, 10909849, 20507924, 25649381). This variant is present in population databases (rs397518022, gnomAD 0.01%). Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individuals with autosomal recessive inherited retinal dystrophy and Usher syndrome, type 2A (PMID: 18641288, 20507924; Invitae). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 48544). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	GeneDx	Jan 12, 2023	Identified in individuals with Usher syndrome type II in the published literature, however, it is unknown if a second USH2A variant was identified in some cases (Sandberg et al., 2008; McGee et al., 2010); Canonical splice site variant expected to result in aberrant splicing, although in the absence of functional evidence the actual effect of this sequence change is unknown.; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 25525159, 20507924, 18641288, 35266249, 26582918) -

The 5857+2T>C variant has been reported in 2 probands with the clinical features of Usher syndrome type II, one of whom carried a second pathogenic USH2A varian t (Sandberg 2008, McGee 2010). This variant occurs in the invariant region (+1/2 ) of the 5' splice consensus sequence and is predicted to cause altered splicing leading to an abnormal or absent protein. In summary, this variant meets our cr iteria to be classified as pathogenic (http://pcpgm.partners.org/LMM). -

The c.5857+2T>C variant variant occurs in a canonical splice site (donor) and is therefore predicted to disrupt or distort the normal gene product. The variant has been described in two studies in which it was found in a compound heterozygous state in one individual with autosomal recessive retinitis pigmentosa, and in a heterozygous state in two individuals with Usher syndrome type II (Sandberg et al. 2008; McGee et al. 2010). Control data are unavailable for this variant which is also not found in the 1000 Genomes Project, the Exome Sequencing Project, or the Exome Aggregation Consortium. Due to the potential impact of splice donor variants and the supporting evidence from the literature, this variant is classified as a variant of unknown significance, but suspicious for pathogenicity for USH2A-related disorders. -
