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.

Reported as homozygous variant in a patient with Usher syndrome, with another variant, C1900G, in cis on both alleles (PMID: 27460420); Observed in the heterozygous state without a second variant in a patient with retinitis pigmentosa in published literature (PMID: 20507924); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 24944099, 27460420, 20507924) -

This sequence change replaces leucine, which is neutral and non-polar, with proline, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 4840 of the USH2A protein (p.Leu4840Pro). This variant is present in population databases (rs143275144, gnomAD 0.04%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with retinal disease (PMID: 20507924; Invitae). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 48442). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function output the following: SIFT: "Deleterious"; PolyPhen-2: "Benign"; Align-GVGD: "Class C0". The proline amino acid residue is found in multiple mammalian species, which suggests that this missense change does not adversely affect protein function. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -

Variant classified as Uncertain Significance - Favor Benign. The p.Leu4840Pro variant in USH2A has been previously reported by our laboratory in 2 individuals with hearing loss who each carried different homozygous pathogenic variants in another gene that explained the hearing loss. This variant has also been reported in 3 individuals with either retinitis pigmentosa or Usher syndrome. It was homozygous in 1 individual, but a variant affecting the remaining copy of USH2A was not identified in the other 2 individuals (McGee 2010, Baux 2014, Bonnet 2016). It has also been identified in 0.05% (59/129026) of European chromosomes by gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org) and has been reported in ClinVar (Variation ID: 48442) .The leucine (Leu) at position 4840 is not highly conserved in mammals and evolutionary distant species, and two mammals (prairie vole and Golden hamster) have a proline (Pro) at the position, supporting that this change at this position may be tolerated. In summary, while the clinical significance of the p.Leu4804Pro variant is uncertain, these data suggest that it is more likely to be benign.
