Genes affected
ABCA4 (HGNC:34): (ATP binding cassette subfamily A member 4) The membrane-associated protein encoded by this gene is a member of the superfamily of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters. ABC proteins transport various molecules across extra- and intracellular membranes. ABC genes are divided into seven distinct subfamilies (ABC1, MDR/TAP, MRP, ALD, OABP, GCN20, White). This protein is a member of the ABC1 subfamily. Members of the ABC1 subfamily comprise the only major ABC subfamily found exclusively in multicellular eukaryotes. This protein is a retina-specific ABC transporter with N-retinylidene-PE as a substrate. It is expressed exclusively in retina photoreceptor cells, and the gene product mediates transport of an essental molecule, all-trans-retinal aldehyde (atRAL), across the photoreceptor cell membrane. Mutations in this gene are found in patients diagnosed with Stargardt disease, a form of juvenile-onset macular degeneration. Mutations in this gene are also associated with retinitis pigmentosa-19, cone-rod dystrophy type 3, early-onset severe retinal dystrophy, fundus flavimaculatus, and macular degeneration age-related 2.

Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingGeneDxOct 12, 2016The E1022K variant has been published in association with ABCA4-related disorders (Webster et al., 2001; Stone et al., 2003; Stenirri et al., 2004; Fumagalli et al., 2001; Fujinami et al., 2013; Fujinami et al., 2015). The E1022K variant was not observed in approximately 6,500 individuals of European and African American ancestry in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, indicating it is not a common benign variant in these populations. The E1022K variant is a non-conservative amino acid substitution, which is likely to impact secondary protein structure as these residues differ in polarity, charge, size and/or other properties. This substitution occurs at a position that is conserved across species. In silico analysis predicts this variant is probably damaging to the protein structure/function. Missense variants in nearby residues (T1019A, T1019M, F1026L) have been reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database in association with Stargardt disease (Stenson et al., 2014). Therefore, based on the currently available information, E1022K is likely pathogenic. -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLabcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), LabcorpSep 01, 2023For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may create or strengthen a splice site. 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 ABCA4 protein function. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 99196). This missense change has been observed in individuals with Stargardt disease (PMID: 11702214, 23982839, 30834176). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. This variant is present in population databases (rs61749459, gnomAD 0.003%). This sequence change replaces glutamic acid, which is acidic and polar, with lysine, which is basic and polar, at codon 1022 of the ABCA4 protein (p.Glu1022Lys). -

ABCA4-related disorder Pathogenic:1
Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingPreventionGenetics, part of Exact SciencesOct 06, 2023The ABCA4 c.3064G>A variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Glu1022Lys. This variant has been reported many times in individuals with Stargardt disease (see for examples Fumagalli et al. 2001. PubMed ID: 11702214; Table S1 in Fujinami et al. 2019. PubMed ID: 29925512; Table S4 in Panneman et al. 2023. PubMed ID: 36819107). This variant is reported in 0.0033% of alleles in individuals of South Asian descent in gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/variant/1-94509018-C-T). Given the evidence, we interpret this variant as likely pathogenic. -

Retinitis pigmentosa Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpOct 22, 2024Variant summary: ABCA4 c.3064G>A (p.Glu1022Lys) results in a conservative amino acid change located in the ABC transporter-like, ATP-binding domain (IPR003439) of the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 8e-06 in 251268 control chromosomes. c.3064G>A has been reported in the literature in multiple compound heterozygous or homozygous individuals affected with Retinitis Pigmentosa or Stargardt Disease (e.g. Yohe_2020, Downes_2012, Panneman_2023). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 23143460, 36819107, 31816670). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 99196). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
