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.

The R4526X variant has been reported previously in association with Usher syndrome (Nakanishi et al., 2011). This variant is predicted to cause loss of normal protein function either through protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. The variant is not observed in large population cohorts (Lek et al., 2016). In summary, we consider this variant to be pathogenic.

Significance:Pathogenic

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg4526*) in the USH2A gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in USH2A are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 10729113, 10909849, 20507924, 25649381). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individuals with USH2A-related conditions (PMID: 21593743, 28157192). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 438014). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.

Victorian Clinical Genetics Services, Murdoch Childrens Research Institute

Significance:Pathogenic

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

This variant is classified as Pathogenic. Evidence in support of pathogenic classification: Variant is predicted to cause nonsense-mediated decay (NMD) and loss of protein (premature termination codon is located at least 54 nucleotides upstream of the final exon-exon junction); Variant is present in gnomAD <0.01 for a recessive condition (v4: 9 heterozygote(s), 0 homozygote(s)); This variant has strong previous evidence of pathogenicity in unrelated individuals. It has been classified as pathogenic by multiple clinical laboratories in ClinVar, and reported in at least one homozygous individual with Usher syndrome (PMID: 21593743); Other NMD-predicted variant(s) comparable to the one identified in this case have very strong previous evidence for pathogenicity (DECIPHER). Additional information: This variant is heterozygous; This gene is associated with autosomal recessive disease; Loss of function is a known mechanism of disease in this gene and is associated with Usher syndrome, type 2A (MIM#276901) and retinitis pigmentosa (RP; MIM#6138093). Null variants are associated with Usher syndrome, while homozygous missense variants which lead to partially functional proteins typically cause non-syndromic RP (PMID: 20301515).
