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.

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLabcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), LabcorpJan 25, 2024This sequence change replaces glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, with arginine, which is basic and polar, at codon 1961 of the ABCA4 protein (p.Gly1961Arg). This variant is present in population databases (rs142253670, gnomAD 0.02%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with autosomal recessive Stargardt disease (PMID: 19074458, 23755871, 26780318, 28118664). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 236140). 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) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt ABCA4 protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. This variant disrupts the p.Gly1961 amino acid residue in ABCA4. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 19074458, 28181551, 28559085, 30060493). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingGeneDxOct 20, 2020In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 25525159, 23755871, 32090030, 33090715, 26780318, 31589614, 28118664, 19074458) -

ABCA4-related disorder Pathogenic:1
Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingIllumina Laboratory Services, IlluminaOct 24, 2018The ABCA4 c.5881G>A (p.Gly1961Arg) missense variant has been reported in three studies in which it is found in a total of three individuals with Stargardt disease in a compound heterozygous state, in two with a frameshift variant on the second allele and in one with a missense variant on the second allele (Cideciyan et al. 2009; Riveiro-Alvarez et al. 2013; Jiang et al. 2016). The variant has not been reported in the literature in any other conditions potentially associated with variants in the ABCA4 gene. The p.Gly1961Arg variant was absent from 100 control individuals, but is reported at a frequency of 0.00024 in the South Asian population of the Exome Aggregation Consortium. Based on the evidence, the p.Gly1961Arg variant is classified as likely pathogenic for Stargardt disease. This variant was observed by ICSL as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. -
