Genes affected
ABCB4 (HGNC:45): (ATP binding cassette subfamily B 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 intra-cellular membranes. ABC genes are divided into seven distinct subfamilies (ABC1, MDR/TAP, MRP, ALD, OABP, GCN20, White). This protein is a member of the MDR/TAP subfamily. Members of the MDR/TAP subfamily are involved in multidrug resistance as well as antigen presentation. This gene encodes a full transporter and member of the p-glycoprotein family of membrane proteins with phosphatidylcholine as its substrate. The function of this protein has not yet been determined; however, it may involve transport of phospholipids from liver hepatocytes into bile. Alternative splicing of this gene results in several products of undetermined function. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeJan 07, 2024This sequence change replaces proline, which is neutral and non-polar, with leucine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 726 of the ABCB4 protein (p.Pro726Leu). This variant is present in population databases (rs141677867, gnomAD 0.003%). This missense change has been observed in individuals with low-phospholipid-associated cholelithiasis syndrome and/or progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis type 3 (PMID: 20422496, 23533021, 26474921, 28733223, 29761167). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 194709). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) has been performed at Invitae for this missense variant, however the output from this modeling did not meet the statistical confidence thresholds required to predict the impact of this variant on ABCB4 protein function. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects ABCB4 function (PMID: 26474921, 28012258). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testing3billionJan 03, 2022Same nucleotide change resulting in same amino acid change has been previously reported as pathogenic/likely pathogenic with strong evidence (PMID: 23533021 VCV000194709, , PS1_S). A different missense change at the same codon has been reported to be associated with ABCB4 related disorder (PMID:17726488, PM5_P). In silico tool predictions suggest damaging effect of the variant on gene or gene product (REVEL: 0.905, 3CNET: 0.897, PP3_P). It is observed at an extremely low frequency in the gnomAD v2.1.1 dataset (total allele frequency: 0.000008, PM2_M). Therefore, this variant is classified as likely pathogenic according to the recommendation of ACMG/AMP guideline. -

Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingPreventionGenetics, part of Exact SciencesJan 01, 2024The ABCB4 c.2177C>T variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Pro726Leu. This variant in the presence and absence of a second causative variant has been reported in patients with progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis type 3 (PFIC3) or Low-Phospholipid-Associated Cholelithiasis (see for example Poupon et al. 2013. PubMed ID: 23533021; Delaunay et al. 2016. PubMed ID: 26474921; Elderman et al. 2015. PubMed ID: 25612754). Functional studies demonstrated that this variant resulted in near absence of phosphatidylcholine secretion (Delaunay et al. 2016. PubMed ID: 26474921). Additionally, a different substitution of the same amino acid (p.Pro726Thr) has been well documented as causative for PFIC3 (Degiorgio et al. 2007. PubMed ID: 17726488). This variant is reported in 0.0029% of alleles in individuals of Latino descent in gnomAD. In ClinVar, this variant is interpreted as likely pathogenic (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/194709/). This variant is interpreted as likely pathogenic. -
