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.

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	GeneDx	Dec 10, 2022	Identified in a patient with retinitis pigmentosa in published literature, however the individual's second reported USH2A variant is currently classified as benign (Qu et al., 2020); 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: 31904091) -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	ARUP Laboratories, Molecular Genetics and Genomics, ARUP Laboratories	Dec 29, 2017	The USH2A p.Arg4081Trp variant (rs144783615) has not been reported in the medical literature. However, the p.Arg4081Trp is listed in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD) browser with an allele frequency of 0.14% in the African population (identified in 34 out of 24,020 chromosomes), and it is classified as a variant of uncertain significance in ClinVar (Variant ID: 229617). The arginine at codon 4081 is moderately conserved considering 12 species (Alamut software v2.10.0), and computational analyses predict that this variant does affect the structure/function of the USH2A protein (SIFT: damaging, PolyPhen2: possibly damaging, MutationTaster: disease causing). However, based on the available information, the clinical significance of the p.Arg4081Trp variant cannot be determined with certainty. -

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp	Jul 29, 2022	Variant summary: USH2A c.12241C>T (p.Arg4081Trp) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the Fibronectin type III domain of the encoded protein sequence. Three of four in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00025 in 251166 control chromosomes. This frequency is not significantly higher than expected for a pathogenic variant in USH2A causing Usher Syndrome (0.00025 vs 0.011), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. c.12241C>T has been reported in the literature in at least one individual affected with non-syndromic retinitis pigmentosa. This report does 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 have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Laboratory for Molecular Medicine, Mass General Brigham Personalized Medicine	Feb 21, 2016	The p.Arg4081Trp variant in USH2A has not been previously reported in individual s with hearing loss or Usher syndrome, but has been identified in 28/121364 chro mosomes by the Exome Aggregation Consortium (ExAC, http://exac.broadinstitute.or g; dbSNP rs144783615). Although this variant has been seen in the general popula tion, its frequency is not high enough to rule out a pathogenic role. Computatio nal prediction tools and conservation analysis suggest that this variant may imp act the protein, though this information is not predictive enough to determine p athogenicity. In summary, the clinical significance of the p.Arg4081Trp variant is uncertain. -

The USH2A c.12241C>T variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Arg4081Trp. This variant was reported a compound heterozygous state in an individual with non-syndromic retinitis pigmentosa (Qu et al 2020. PubMed ID: 31904091). This variant is reported in 0.14% of alleles in individuals of African descent in gnomAD. At this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -
