Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely benign. Variant got -5 ACMG points: 0P and 5B. BP4BS1

This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: The c.14276G>A (p.Gly4759Glu) variant has been detected in at least 4 heterozygous individuals with clinical features of hearing loss or retinitis pigmentosa (PS4/PM3 not met; Partners LMM internal data, PMID 28041643). However, the filtering allele frequency (the lower threshold of the 95% CI of 102/24022) of the p.Gly4759Glu variant in the USH2A gene is 0.425% for African chromosomes by gnomAD, which is a high enough frequency to be classified as likely benign based on the thresholds defined by the ClinGen Hearing Loss Expert Panel for autosomal recessive hearing loss variants (BS1).

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.

Likely benign, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpMay 10, 2022Variant summary: USH2A c.14276G>A (p.Gly4759Glu) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the Fibronectin type III domain (IPR003961) of the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00026 in 251184 control chromosomes, predominantly at a frequency of 0.0038 within the African or African-American subpopulation in the gnomAD database. This frequency is not significantly higher than estimated for a pathogenic variant in USH2A causing Usher Syndrome (0.00026 vs 0.011), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. c.14276G>A has been reported in the literature as a non-informative genotype with three other missense variants in the USH2A gene (phase not specified) in at-least one individual of African ethnicity reportedly affected with with Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP) analyzed by whole genome sequencing (WGS) and reported as "Partially Solved" (example, Carrs_2017). These report(s) do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Usher Syndrome.To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Five clinical diagnostic laboratories and the ClinGen Hearing Loss Variant Curation Expert Panel have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. Multiple submitters reported the variant with conflicting assessments (VUS, n=4, likely benign, n=2 including the expert panel). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely benign. -
