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.

Based on the classification scheme VCGS_Germline_v1.3.4, this variant is classified as likely pathogenic. The following criteria are met: 0102 - Loss of function is a known mechanism of disease in this gene and is associated with Stargardt disease (MIM #248200), fundus flavimaculatus (MIM #248200), early-onset severe retinal dystrophy (MIM #248200) and retinitis pigmentosa 19 (MIM #601718). (I) 0106 - This gene is associated with autosomal recessive disease. (I) 0115 - Variants in this gene are known to have variable expressivity (PMID: 31522899). (I) 0200 - Variant is predicted to result in a missense amino acid change from phenylalanine to cysteine. (I) 0251 - This variant is heterozygous. (I) 0304 - Variant is present in gnomAD <0.01 for a recessive condition (v2) (110 heterozygotes, 0 homozygotes). (SP) 0501 - Missense variant consistently predicted to be damaging by multiple in silico tools or highly conserved with a major amino acid change. (SP) 0600 - Variant is located in the annotated ABC2 membrane 3 domain (Pfam). (I) 0801 - This variant has strong previous evidence of pathogenicity in unrelated individuals. This variant has previously been reported as likely pathogenic and pathogenic four times in ClinVar in association with ABCA4-related eye disease. It has been reported in at least 10 patients with Stargardt or ABCA4-related eye disease in the literature where a 2nd disease-causing variant was identified in trans (PMIDs: 32821503; 22661472; 29925512; 28118664; 28446513; 21911583; 17296903; 31212395). This variant has also been reported as likely benign (based on case/control frequency data)/VUS (based on ACMG classification guidelines) by the same study (PMID: 28044389). (SP) 0705 - No comparable missene variants have previous evidence for pathogenicity. (I) 0905 - No published segregation evidence has been identified for this variant. (I) 1007 - No published functional evidence has been identified for this variant. (I) Legend: (SP) - Supporting pathogenic, (I) - Information, (SB) - Supporting benign -

The ABCA4 c.1964T>G 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, PM3-S. Based on this evidence we have classified this variant as Likely Pathogenic. -

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces phenylalanine, which is neutral and non-polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 655 of the ABCA4 protein (p.Phe655Cys). This variant is present in population databases (rs200692438, gnomAD 0.09%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with Stargardt disease (PMID: 21911583, 22229821, 22661472, 29925512). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 212727). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt ABCA4 protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
