Genes affected

USH2A (HGNC:12601): (usherin) This gene encodes a protein that contains laminin EGF motifs, a pentaxin domain, and many fibronectin type III motifs. The protein is found in the basement membrane, and may be important in development and homeostasis of the inner ear and retina. Mutations within this gene have been associated with Usher syndrome type IIa and retinitis pigmentosa. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

• PM1: In a domain Fibronectin type-III 2 (size 96) in uniprot entity USH2A_HUMAN there are 24 pathogenic changes around while only 7 benign (77%) in NM_206933.4
• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (MetaRNN=0.014945865).

Usher syndrome type 2A Benign:3

Likely benign, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Illumina Laboratory Services, Illumina	Jan 12, 2018	This variant was observed in the ICSL laboratory as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. It had not been previously curated by ICSL or reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database (HGMD: prior to June 1st, 2018), and was therefore a candidate for classification through an automated scoring system. Utilizing variant allele frequency, disease prevalence and penetrance estimates, and inheritance mode, an automated score was calculated to assess if this variant is too frequent to cause the disease. Based on the score and internal cut-off values, a variant classified as likely benign is not then subjected to further curation. The score for this variant resulted in a classification of likely benign for this disease. -

not specified Benign:2

Benign, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Laboratory for Molecular Medicine, Mass General Brigham Personalized Medicine	Aug 23, 2017	p.Pro1178Ala in exon 17 of USH2A: This variant is not expected to have clinical significance because it has been identified in 1.24% (205/16512) of South Asian chromosomes by the Exome Aggregation Consortium (ExAC, http://exac.broadinstitut e.org; dbSNP rs372081834). -
Benign, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp	Mar 08, 2022	Variant summary: USH2A c.3532C>G (p.Pro1178Ala) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0014 in 251032 control chromosomes in the gnomAD database, including 4 homozygotes. This frequency is almost close to that estimated for a pathogenic variant in USH2A causing Usher Syndrome (0.0014 vs 0.011), supporting a benign outcome. To our knowledge, no penetrant association of c.3532C>G in individuals affected with Usher Syndrome and no experimental evidence demonstrating its impact on protein function have been reported. Nine clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. Multiple laboratories reported the variant with conflicting assessments with a predominant consensus as benign/likely benign (n=7) (VUS, n=2). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as benign. -

This variant was observed in the ICSL laboratory as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. It had not been previously curated by ICSL or reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database (HGMD: prior to June 1st, 2018), and was therefore a candidate for classification through an automated scoring system. Utilizing variant allele frequency, disease prevalence and penetrance estimates, and inheritance mode, an automated score was calculated to assess if this variant is too frequent to cause the disease. Based on the score, this variant could not be ruled out of causing disease and therefore its association with disease required further investigation. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (if applicable). No publications were found based on this search. This variant was therefore classified as a variant of unknown significance for this disease. -
