Variant summary
Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 16 ACMG points: 16P and 0B. PVS1PP5_Very_Strong
The NM_206933.4(USH2A):c.14803C>T(p.Arg4935*) variant causes a stop gained change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0000291 in 1,613,098 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic (★★). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. R4935R) has been classified as Likely benign. Variant results in nonsense mediated mRNA decay.

not provided Pathogenic:1
This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg4935*) in the USH2A gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in USH2A are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 10729113, 10909849, 20507924, 25649381). This variant is present in population databases (rs146733615, gnomAD 0.003%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individuals with Usher syndrome (PMID: 17405132, 29142287). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 177760). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
Rare genetic deafness Pathogenic:1
The p.Arg4935X variant in USH2A has been previously reported in more than nine i ndividuals with either Usher syndrome type II or retinitis pigmentosa (Baux 2007 , Ebermann 2009, Sandberg 2008, McGee 2010, Besnard 2013, LMM data). This varia nt has been also identified in 2/66718 European chromosomes by the Exome Aggrega tion Consortium (http://exac.broadinstitute.org/; dpSNP rs146733615). Although t his variant has been seen in the general population, its frequency is low enough to be consistent with a carrier frequency of a recessive disorder. This nonsens e variant leads to a premature termination codon at position 4935, which is pred icted to lead to a truncated or absent protein. In summary, this variant meets c riteria to be classified as pathogenic for autosomal recessive Usher syndrome. -
Retinal dystrophy Pathogenic:1

USH2A-related disorder Pathogenic:1
The USH2A c.14803C>T variant is predicted to result in premature protein termination (p.Arg4935*). This variant has been reported many times in individuals with Usher syndrome (see for examples: Baux et al. 2007. PubMed ID: 17405132; Supplemental table, Pierrache et al. 2016. PubMed ID: 26927203; Table S2, Weisschuh et al. 2020. PubMed ID: 32531858). This variant is reported in 0.0026% of alleles in individuals of European (Non-Finnish) descent in gnomAD. Nonsense variants in USH2A are expected to be pathogenic. Given the evidence, we interpret this variant as pathogenic. -
