This sequence change replaces glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 2224 of the USH2A protein (p.Gly2224Cys). This variant is present in population databases (rs149553844, gnomAD 0.1%), and has an allele count higher than expected for a pathogenic variant. This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with USH2A-related retinopathy (PMID: 25412400, 27160483, 28041643). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 209202). 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 USH2A 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. -

Retinitis pigmentosa 39 Uncertain:2
This variant was found once in our laboratory with a pathogenic variant [E767fs] and another missense variant [E3448K; phase undetermined] in a 32-year-old female with retinitis pigmentosa. Variant possibly pathogenic in recessive state; heterozygotes would be carriers. -
The USH2A c.6670G>T variant was identified in an individual with retinitis pigmentosa with a presumed recessive inheritance pattern. Through a review of available evidence we were able to apply the following criteria: PM2, PP3. Based on this evidence we have classified this variant as Variant of Uncertain Significance. -

Variant summary: USH2A c.6670G>T (p.Gly2224Cys) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in 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 0.00045 in 251048 control chromosomes. This frequency is not significantly higher than estimated for a pathogenic variant in USH2A causing Usher Syndrome (0.00045 vs 0.011), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. c.6670G>T has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with inherited retinal disease, without strong evidence for causality (Khan_2016, Carss_2017, Jiman_2020, etc). These reports do 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. Nine clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. Seven submitters classified the variant as VUS while two classified as likely pathogenic/pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -

USH2A-related disorder Uncertain:1
The USH2A c.6670G>T variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Gly2224Cys. This variant was previously reported in the heterozygous state in at least three patients with autosomal recessive retinitis pigmentosa (Table S7, Consugar et al. 2015. PubMed ID: 25412400; Table S2, Carss et al. 2016. PubMed ID: 28041643; Khan et al. 2017. PubMed ID: 27160483; Table S2, Zampaglione et al. 2020. PubMed ID: 32037395). In all of these patients a second missense variant (p.Glu3448Lys) was also present, while in two of the patients a third truncating variant was also present. In one additional patient with RP this variant was in reported in a patient along with a truncating variant in the absence of the p.Glu3448Lys variant (Table S1, Weisschuh et al. 2020. PubMed ID: 32531858). This variant is reported in 0.13% of alleles in individuals of European (Finnish) descent in gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/variant/1-216166497-C-A). At this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -
