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.

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterresearchOcular Genomics Institute, Massachusetts Eye and EarApr 08, 2021The USH2A c.8981G>A variant was identified in an individual with retinitis pigmentosa with a presumed recessive inheritance pattern. Through a review of available evidence we were able to apply the following criteria: PVS1, PM2, PP3. Based on this evidence we have classified this variant as Pathogenic. -

Following criteria are met: 0102 - Loss-of-function is a known mechanism of disease for this gene. (N) 0106 - This gene is known to be associated with autosomal recessive disease. (N) 0201 - Variant is predicted to cause nonsense-mediated decay (NMD) and loss of protein (exon 45 of 72). (P) 0251 - Variant is heterozygous. (N) 0304 - Variant is present in gnomAD <0.01 for a recessive condition (4 heterozygotes, 0 homozygotes). (P) 0701 - Comparable variants have very strong previous evidence for pathogenicity. More than 10 NMD-predicted variants have been reported as likely pathogenic/pathogenic (ClinVar). (P) 0801 - Strong previous evidence of pathogenicity in unrelated individuals. This variant has been reported in unrelated patients with Usher syndrome and retinitis pigmentosa (PMIDs: 19881469, 28041643), and as pathogenic in ClinVar. (P) 1205 - Variant is maternally inherited. (N) Legend: (P) - Pathogenic, (N) - Neutral, (B) - Benign -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLabcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), LabcorpOct 14, 2023This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Trp2994*) in the USH2A gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in USH2A are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 10729113, 10909849, 20507924, 25649381). This variant is present in population databases (rs397518041, gnomAD 0.007%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with Usher syndrome or retinitis pigmentosa (PMID: 19881469, 28041643). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 48611). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Usher syndrome Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpOct 25, 2019Variant summary: USH2A c.8981G>A (p.Trp2994X) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 1.6e-05 in 251094 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.8981G>A has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Usher syndrome and retinitis pigmentosa (e.g. Carss_2017, Stone_2017, Yan_2009). These data indicate that the variant is likely to be associated with disease. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Three ClinVar submitters (evaluation after 2014) cite the variant twice as pathogenic and once as likely pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

In addition, this variant leads to a premature stop codon at posit ion 2994 and therefore, is predicted to lead to a truncated or absent protein. I n summary, this variant meets our criteria to be classified as pathogenic (http: //pcpgm.partners.org/LMM). -
