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.

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

The variant is observed at an extremely low frequency in the gnomAD v2.1.1 dataset (total allele frequency: 0.005%). Predicted Consequence/Location: Protein truncation variants are a common disease-causing mechanism. In silico tool predictions suggest damaging effect of the variant on gene or gene product (REVEL: 0.39; 3Cnet: 0.66). Same nucleotide change resulting in same amino acid change has been previously reported as pathogenic/likely pathogenic with strong evidence (ClinVar ID: VCV000228411 /PMID: 10738000). The variant has been reported to be in trans with a pathogenic variant as either compound heterozygous or homozygous in at least one similarly affected unrelated individual (PMID: 15025721, 17405132, 20513143, 26338283, 27032803, 29142287). Different missense changes at the same codon (p.Arg334Gln, p.Arg334Gly) have been reported as pathogenic/likely pathogenic with strong evidence (ClinVar ID: VCV000048342, VCV000552304 /PMID: 17405132, 29655801). Therefore, this variant is classified as Pathogenic according to the recommendation of ACMG/AMP guideline. -

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: 33124170, 32675063, 34781295, 17405132, 31964843, 36460718, 37217489, 10738000, 10909849, 19683999, 25333064, 15025721, 24944099, 26338283, 27032803, 29490346, 31589614, 31456290, 32050993, 18452394, 32531858, PMID39858579, 38347443) -

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

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with tryptophan, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 334 of the USH2A protein (p.Arg334Trp). This variant is present in population databases (rs397517963, gnomAD 0.03%). This missense change has been observed in individuals with Usher syndrome (PMID: 10909849, 15025721, 17405132, 18452394, 19683999, 20513143, 25333064, 26338283, 27032803, 28894305, 28944237, 29142287). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 228411). 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) has been performed for this missense variant. However, the output from this modeling did not meet the statistical confidence thresholds required to predict the impact of this variant on USH2A protein function. This variant disrupts the p.Arg334 amino acid residue in USH2A. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been observed in individuals with USH2A-related conditions (PMID: 17405132), which suggests that this may be a clinically significant amino acid residue. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

The p.Arg334Trp variant in USH2A has been reported in 9 probands with Usher synd rome who were either compound heterozygous or homozygous, and segregated in 9 fa mily members (Adato 2000, Auslender 2008, Baux 2014, Baux 2007, Dreyer 2000, Jai jo 2009, Krawitz 2014, Ouyang 2004). This variant has been identified in 4/11496 Latino chromosomes by the Exome Aggregation Consortium (ExAC, http://exac.broad institute.org; dbSNP rs397517963), however this frequency is low enough to be co nsistent with a recessive carrier frequency. In summary, this variant meets our criteria to be classified as pathogenic for autosomal recessive Usher syndrome b ased on multiple reports with pathogenic USH2A variants in individuals with Ushe r syndrome (http://personalizedmedicine.partners.org/). -
