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.

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingGeneDxMay 19, 2016The M280L variant has not been published as a pathogenic variant, nor has it been reported as a benign variant to our knowledge. The NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project reports M280L was observed in 20/4406 (0.45%) alleles from individuals of African American background, and the 1000 Genomes Project Consortium reports M280L was observed in 10/1322 (0.76%) alleles from individuals of African background indicating it may be a rare variant in this population. The M280L variant is a conservative amino acid substitution, which is not likely to impact secondary protein structure as these residues share similar properties. This substitution occurs at a position that is not conserved. In silico analysis predicts this variant likely does not alter the protein structure/function. A missense variant in the same residue (M280T) has been reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database in association with Stargardt disease (Stenson et al., 2014). Therefore, based on the currently available information, it is unclear whether this variant is a pathogenic variant or a rare benign variant. -
