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.

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Gln636*) in the ABCA4 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in ABCA4 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 10958761, 24938718, 25312043, 26780318). This variant is present in population databases (rs145961131, gnomAD 0.004%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with ABCA4-related disorders including Stargardt disease and retinitis pigmentosa (PMID: 21911583, 22968130, 28041643). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 265012). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

The heterozygous p.Gln636Ter variant in ABCA4 was identified by our study, in the compound heterozygous state with another pathogenic variant (ClinVar Variation ID: 99478). This individual also carried another pathogenic variant (ClinVar Variation ID: 99478); however, the phase of these variants is unknown at this time. The p.Gln636Ter variant in ABCA4 has been previously reported in 8 unrelated individuals with autosomal recessive ABCA4-related retinopathy (PMID: 24020726, PMID: 29884405, PMID: 22863181, PMID: 28559085, PMID: 30204727, PMID: 28041643, PMID: 22968130, PMID: 21911583), but has been identified in 0.004% (5/113446) of European (non-Finnish) chromosomes by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org; dbSNP ID: rs145961131). Although this variant has been seen in the general population in a heterozygous state, its frequency is low enough to be consistent with a recessive carrier frequency. Of these 8 previously reported individuals (PMID: 24020726, PMID: 29884405, PMID: 22863181, PMID: 28559085, PMID: 30204727, PMID: 28041643, PMID: 22968130, PMID: 21911583), 1 was a homozygote (PMID: 21911583), 6 were compound heterozygotes who carried pathogenic or likely pathogenic variants in trans (PMID: 24020726, ClinVar Variation ID: 92870; PMID: 29884405, ClinVar Variation ID: 7879; PMID: 28559085, ClinVar Variation ID: 7879; PMID: 30204727, ClinVar Variation ID: 99390; PMID: 28041643, ClinVar Variation ID: 30218; PMID: 22968130, ClinVar Variation ID: 99505) and 1 was a compound heterozygote who carried a variant of uncertain significance in trans (PMID: 22863181, ClinVar Variation ID: 7888), which increases the likelihood that the p.Gln636Ter variant is pathogenic. This variant has also been reported in ClinVar (Variation ID: 265012) and has been interpreted as pathogenic by multiple submitters. This nonsense variant leads to a premature termination codon at position 636, which is predicted to lead to a truncated or absent protein. Loss of function of the ABCA4 gene is an established disease mechanism in autosomal recessive ABCA4-related retinopathy. In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for autosomal recessive ABCA4-related retinopathy.
