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.

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLabcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), LabcorpJan 11, 2024This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Ser1071Cysfs*14) in the ABCA4 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in ABCA4 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 10958761, 24938718, 25312043, 26780318). This variant is present in population databases (rs387906385, gnomAD 0.004%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with retinal disease including early onset severe retinal dystrophy, autosomal recessive retinitis pigmentosa, and Stargardt disease (PMID: 23755871, 29186038). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. This variant is also known as c.3211_3212insGT. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 372290). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

ABCA4-related disorder Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, no assertion criteria providedclinical testingPreventionGenetics, part of Exact SciencesMar 05, 2024The ABCA4 c.3210_3211dupGT variant is predicted to result in a frameshift and premature protein termination (p.Ser1071Cysfs*14). This variant has been reported many times as causative for autosomal recessive Stargardt disease (see for examples Allikmets et al. 1997. PubMed ID: 9054934; Eisenberger et al.. 2013. PubMed ID: 24265693; Porto et al. 2017. PubMed ID: 29186038). This variant is reported in 0.0035% of alleles in individuals of European (Non-Finnish) descent in gnomAD. Frameshift variants in ABCA4 are expected to be pathogenic. Given the evidence, we interpret this variant as pathogenic. -
