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.

This variant is present in population databases (rs111033364, gnomAD 0.02%), including at least one homozygous and/or hemizygous individual. This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individuals with Usher syndrome (PMID: 22135276, 25575603, 29293505). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 2357).

USH2A-related disorder Pathogenic:2
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingPreventionGenetics, part of Exact SciencesNov 09, 2023The USH2A c.11864G>A variant is predicted to result in premature protein termination (p.Trp3955*). This variant has been reported many times in individuals with Usher syndrome and is noted to be one of the most common pathogenic variants in USH2A, being detected in ~22% of a cohort of patients (see for examples Bonnet et al. 2016. PubMed ID: 27460420; Lenarduzzi et al. 2015. PubMed ID: 25575603; Table S4 in Stone et al. 2017. PubMed ID: 28559085). This variant is reported in 0.025% of alleles in individuals of European (Non-Finnish) descent in gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/variant/1-215901574-C-T). Nonsense variants in USH2A are expected to be pathogenic. Given the evidence, we interpret this variant as pathogenic. -

This sequence change has been observed in affected individual(s) and ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Clinvar ID:2357; PMID: 29293505; 27460420; 26927203; 25649381; 25575603; 25333064; 22135276; 21569298; 20507924) - PS4.

The p.(Trp3955*) was detected in trans with a pathogenic variant (PMID: 29293505; 27460420; 25649381; 25575603; 25333064; 22135276; 21569298) - PM3_strong. The variant co-segregated with disease in multiple affected family members (PMID: 25575603) - PP1. In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic. -

Usher syndrome;C5680250:Rare genetic deafness Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLaboratory for Molecular Medicine, Mass General Brigham Personalized MedicineOct 03, 2017The p.Trp3955X variant in USH2A has been reported in many probands with Usher sy ndrome, many of whom were homozygous or compound heterozygous (van Wijk 2004, Cr emers 2007, Jacobson 2008, Dreyer 2008, Jaijo 2009, LMM data). This variant has also been identified in 0.025% (32/128914) of European chromosomes, including 1 homozygote, by gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org). Although this variant has been seen in the general population, its frequency is not high enough to ru le out a pathogenic role. This nonsense variant leads to a premature termination codon at position 3955, which is predicted to lead to a truncated or absent pro tein. In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for autosomal recessive Usher syndrome. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: PVS1, PM3_Very S trong, PP4. -

Usher syndrome type 3A Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingIllumina Laboratory Services, IlluminaJan 13, 2023The USH2A c.11864G>A (p.Trp3955Ter) nonsense variant results in the loss of normal protein function through either protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. The c.11864G>A variant is a founder variant in central European and is particularly common in the Slovenian population, where it has been estimated to account for over 80% disease-causing alleles among individuals with Usher syndrome type 2 (PMID: 27460420; PMID: 31817543). Across a selection of the available literature, the c.11864G>A variant is most commonly reported in association with Usher syndrome type 2, but has also been reported in individuals with non-syndromic retinitis pigmentosa (PMID: 15015129; PMID: 2564938; PMID: 27460420; PMID: 31817543). The highest frequency of this allele in the Genome Aggregation Database is 0.000279 in the European (non-Finnish) population, which includes one homozygote (version 3.1.2). Based on the available evidence, the c.11864G>A (p.Trp3955Ter) variant is classified as pathogenic for Usher syndrome type 2. -
Usher syndrome Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpJan 11, 2023Variant summary: USH2A c.11864G>A (p.Trp3955X) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 9.2e-05 in 251168 control chromosomes. This frequency is not significantly higher than estimated for a pathogenic variant in USH2A causing Usher Syndrome (9.2e-05 vs 0.011), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. c.11864G>A has been reported in the literature as biallelic homozygous or compound heterozygous genotypes in multiple individuals affected with Usher Syndrome (example, PMID: 27460420, 28944237). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. Multiple clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 and all classified the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
