Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 10 ACMG points: 10P and 0B. PP1_Strong PM4 PP4 PM2_Supporting PM3

This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: The c.8559-2A>G has been detected in >4 patients with Usher syndrome who were compound heterozygous for the this variant in trans with a truncating variant (PM3_VS; PMID:25356976, 19737284, 26338283, 19023448). Segregation data was also available for two reported families with Usher syndrome. In one family, the variant was identified in trans with a frameshift variant in two affected siblings, and four unaffected siblings were either heterozygous for a single variant or wild-type for both variants. In the second family, an unaffected sibling was heterozygous for a single variant (PP1_Strong, PMID:19023448). RT-PCR analysis of cells from a patient carrying the variant revealed that the variant causes skipping of exon 43, resulting in a 41 amino acid deletion of the USH2A protein (PM4, PMID:20596040) The allele frequency of the c.8559-2A>G variant in the USH2A gene is 0.046% (8/17232) of East Asian chromosomes by the Genome Aggregation Database ( http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org), which is a low enough frequency to award PM2_supporting based on the thresholds defined by the ClinGen Hearing Loss Expert Panel for autosomal recessive hearing loss and Usher syndrome (PM2_Supporting). Several patients reported to harbor this variant displayed clinical features of Usher syndrome (PP4; PMID:25356976, 19737284, 26338283, 19023448). In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for autosomal recessive Usher syndrome based on the ACMG/AMP criteria applied, as specified by the Hearing Loss Expert Panel: PM4, PM3_VS, PP1_S, PP4, PM2_P.

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.
