Variant summary

Our verdict is Uncertain significance. Variant got 2 ACMG points: 2P and 0B. PM2

The NM_206933.4(USH2A):c.10667G>A(p.Gly3556Glu) variant causes a missense change. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000342 in 1,461,728 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. G3556R) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

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.

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	GeneDx	Aug 19, 2022	Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; Has not been previously published as pathogenic or benign to our knowledge -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Invitae	Sep 24, 2021	This sequence change replaces glycine with glutamic acid at codon 3556 of the USH2A protein (p.Gly3556Glu). The glycine residue is highly conserved and there is a moderate physicochemical difference between glycine and glutamic acid. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with USH2A-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 48354). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function output the following: SIFT: "Deleterious"; PolyPhen-2: "Possibly Damaging"; Align-GVGD: "Class C65". The glutamic acid amino acid residue is found in multiple mammalian species, suggesting that this missense change does not adversely affect protein function. These predictions have not been confirmed by published functional studies and their clinical significance is uncertain. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -

The p.Gly3556Glu variant in USH2A has not been reported in any individual with h earing loss in any other families or in large population studies. The Glycine (G ly) at position 3556 is not conserved in mammals or evolutionary distant species , and 2 mammals (black flying fox and megabat) carry a glutamic acid (Glu), rais ing the possibility that such a change at this position may be tolerated. Additi onal computational prediction tools suggest that this variant may impact the pro tein, though this information is not predictive enough to determine pathogenicit y. In summary, the clinical significance of the p.Gly3556Glu variant is uncertai n. -
