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.

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLabcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), LabcorpJan 17, 2024This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg681*) in the ABCA4 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in ABCA4 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 10958761, 24938718, 25312043, 26780318). This variant is present in population databases (rs61749423, gnomAD 0.003%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with retinal disease (PMID: 10090887, 25544989, 28041643, 28559085). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 99114). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Pathogenic, no assertion criteria providedclinical testingPreventionGenetics, part of Exact SciencesSep 11, 2024The ABCA4 c.2041C>T variant is predicted to result in premature protein termination (p.Arg681*). This variant has been reported in multiple individuals with ABCA4-associated disease (see for example, Maugeri et al. 1999. PubMed ID: 10090887; Chouchene et al. 2013. PubMed ID: 24342785; Table S2, Del Pozo-Valero et al. 2020. PubMed ID: 32619608; Briggs et al. 2001. PubMed ID: 11527935; Supplementary tables, Holtan et al. 2020.

This variant is reported in 0.0033% of alleles in individuals of South Asian descent in gnomAD. This variant is interpreted as pathogenic. -
