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.

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change is predicted to replace asparagine with serine at codon 965 of the ABCA4 protein, p.(Asn965Ser). The asparagine residue is moderately conserved (100 vertebrates, UCSC), and is located within the Walker A motif in the ATP binding cassette transporter 1 domain, critical for nucleotide phosphate binding (PMID: 29145636). There is a small physicochemical difference between asparagine and serine. The variant is present in a large population cohort at a frequency of 0.01%, which is consistent with recessive disease (rs201471607, 35/282,722 alleles, 0 homozygotes in gnomAD v2.1). It has been identified in the homozygous state and compound heterozygous with a second pathogenic allele in multiple cases with retinal disorders including Stargadt disease, fundus flavimaculatus, retinitis pigmentosa, cone-rod dystrophy, and Bull's eye maculopathy (PMID: 17982420 , 20647261). Further, a p.Asn965Ser knock-in mouse model recapitulates the phenotype of Stargardt disease patients and Abca4 knockout mice (PMID: 29145636). Multiple lines of computational evidence predict a deleterious effect for the missense substitution (6/7 algorithms). Based on the classification scheme RMH ACMG Guidelines v1.2.1, this variant is classified as PATHOGENIC. Following criteria are met: PM3_VeryStrong, PS3, PM1, PM2, PP3. -

Published functional studies demonstrate a damaging effect with partial misfolding of the protein with mislocalization and low ATPase activity (Molday et al., 2018); 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: 9054934, 27739528, 28446513, 27939946, 28118664, 22968130, 25356976, 24453473, 24713488, 26780318, 28327576, 28704108, 29126757, 24097981, 21226556, 30204727, 29925512, 30718709, 30093795, 31456290, 32845050, 32845068, 32531858, 33732702, 32619608, 33090715, 33691693, 33301772, 33261146, 32244552, 17982420, 28559085, 29145636) -

This sequence change replaces asparagine, which is neutral and polar, with serine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 965 of the ABCA4 protein (p.Asn965Ser). The frequency data for this variant in the population databases is considered unreliable, as metrics indicate poor data quality at this position in the gnomAD database. This missense change has been observed in individuals with ABCA4-related disease and/or Stargardt disease (PMID: 17982420, 25356976, 27739528, 28559085). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 236096). 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%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects ABCA4 function (PMID: 22735453, 24097981, 29145636). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

The variant is observed at an extremely low frequency in the gnomAD v2.1.1 dataset (total allele frequency: 0.021%). Predicted Consequence/Location: Stop-gained (nonsense): predicted to result in a loss or disruption of normal protein function through protein truncation. The predicted truncated protein may be shortened by more than 10%. The variant has been reported at least twice as pathogenic without evidence for the classification (ClinVar ID: VCV000419605 /PMID: 21039602 /3billion dataset). Therefore, this variant is classified as Likely pathogenic according to the recommendation of ACMG/AMP guideline. -
