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.

Apr 27, 2017
Illumina Laboratory Services, Illumina
Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This variant was observed as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (where applicable). No publications were found based on this search. Allele frequency data from public databases did not allow this variant to be ruled in or out of causing disease. Therefore, this variant is classified as a variant of unknown significance. -

Significance:Benign
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

Ala26Ala in exon 2 of USH2A: This variant is not expected to have clinical signi ficance because it does not alter an amino acid residue, is not located near a s plice junction and has been identified in 1.8% (443/24026) of African chromosome s chromosomes by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD, http://gnomad.broadins titute.org; dbSNP rs59139861). -

Significance:Benign
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This variant was observed as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (where applicable). No publications were found based on this search. Allele frequency data from public databases was too high to be consistent with this variant causing disease. Therefore, this variant is classified as benign. -
