Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 10 ACMG points: 10P and 0B. PS3PM1PP2PP3_ModeratePP5

The NM_000350.3(ABCA4):c.1622T>C(p.Leu541Pro) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00013 in 1,614,014 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity (no stars). ClinVar reports functional evidence for this variant: "SCV000577606: Functional studies demonstrate that the p.(L541P)/p.(A1038V) complex allele as well as the p.(L541P) and p.(A1038V) variants independently result in reduced ATPase activity" and additional evidence is available in ClinVar. Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. L541L) has been classified as Uncertain significance. The gene ABCA4 is included in the ClinGen Criteria Specification Registry.

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.

ACMG classification

Specifications for ABCA4 are available in the ClinGen Criteria Specification Registry and recommended for reference when assigning criteria.

Classification was made for transcript

Our verdict: Pathogenic. The variant received 10 ACMG points.

PS3

PS3 evidence extracted from ClinVar submissions: SCV000577606: Functional studies demonstrate that the p.(L541P)/p.(A1038V) complex allele as well as the p.(L541P) and p.(A1038V) variants independently result in reduced ATPase activity; however, the affect of p.(A1038V) is milder compared to that of p.(L541P) alone or the p.(L541P)/p.(A1038V) complex allele (PMID: 11017087, 16103129, 25712131); SCV000692637: PS3:Supporting; SCV001234647: Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects ABCA4 function (PMID: 11017087, 25712131, 29847635).; SCV002059063: Functional studies provide strong evidence of the variant having a damaging effect on the gene or gene product (PMID: 11017087, 16103129, 25712131).; SCV000967650: Additional functional studies demonstrated that the p.Leu541Pro and p.A1038V alleles each impact functional activity and that the Leu541Pro/Ala1038Val complex allele is more severe, resembling a complete loss of activity (Sun 2000, Wiszniewski 2005, Zhang 2015).; SCV001160303: Functional studies suggest that p.Leu541Pro, independent of p.Ala1038Val, causes protein misfolding, mislocalization, and reduced ATP binding and hydrolysis (Sun 2000, Wiszniewski 2005, Zhang 2015).

PM1

In a hotspot region, there are 2 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 1 benign, 6 uncertain in NM_000350.3

PP2

Missense variant in the gene, where a lot of missense mutations are associated with disease in ClinVar. The gene has 578 curated pathogenic missense variants (we use a threshold of 10).
