Variant summary

Our verdict is Benign. The variant received -17 ACMG points: 3P and 20B. PM1PP2BP4_StrongBP6_Very_StrongBA1

The NM_000350.3(ABCA4):​c.1268A>G​(p.His423Arg) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.295 in 1,610,992 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, including 72,755 homozygotes. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. 14/21 in silico tools predict a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Likely benign (★★). Another nucleotide change resulting in the same amino acid substitution has been previously reported as Likely benign in ClinVar. Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. H423Y) has been classified as Likely benign.

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.

ACMG classification

Classification was made for transcript

Our verdict: Benign. The variant received -17 ACMG points.

PM1
In a hotspot region, there are 4 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 0 benign, 5 uncertain in NM_000350.3
PP2
Missense variant in the gene, where a lot of missense mutations are associated with disease in ClinVar. The gene has 578 curated pathogenic missense variants (we use a threshold of 10). The gene has 28 curated benign missense variants. Gene score misZ: -0.65813 (below the threshold of 3.09). Trascript score misZ: 1.3628 (below the threshold of 3.09). GenCC associations: The gene is linked to cone-rod dystrophy 3, retinitis pigmentosa 19, ABCA4-related retinopathy, severe early-childhood-onset retinal dystrophy, cone-rod dystrophy, Stargardt disease, retinitis pigmentosa.
BP4
Computational evidence support a benign effect (MetaRNN=0.035622448).
BP6
Variant 1-94078678-T-C is Benign according to our data. Variant chr1-94078678-T-C is described in ClinVar as Benign/Likely_benign. ClinVar VariationId is 99040.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.
BA1
GnomAd4 highest subpopulation (NFE) allele frequency at 95% confidence interval = 0.314 is higher than 0.05.

This variant was observed as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (where applicable). No publications were found based on this search. Allele frequency data from public databases allowed determination this variant is unlikely to cause disease. Therefore, this variant is classified as likely benign. -
