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.

ACMG classification

Classification was made for transcript

Our verdict: Likely_benign. The variant received -6 ACMG points.

BP4
Computational evidence support a benign effect (MetaRNN=0.018091947).
BP6
Variant 1-215647560-G-A is Benign according to our data. Variant chr1-215647560-G-A is described in ClinVar as Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity. ClinVar VariationId is 177746.
BS2
High Homozygotes in GnomAdExome4 at 3 AD,AR geneVariant has number of homozygotes lower than other variant known as pathogenic in the gene, so the strength is limited to Supporting.

Identified in a patient with Usher syndrome type II in published literature, however no information about a second variant was provided (McGee et al., 2010); 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: 32707200, 24944099, 20507924) -

The USH2A c.14753C>T; p.Thr4918Met variant (rs56136489) is reported in the literature in an individual affected with Usher syndrome type 2, although it was not demonstrated to be disease-causing and a second variant in this individual was not reported (McGee 2010). This variant is found in the general population with an overall allele frequency of 0.12% (331/282718 alleles, including one homozygote) in the Genome Aggregation Database. The threonine at codon 4918 is moderately conserved and computational analyses (SIFT, PolyPhen-2) predict that this variant is deleterious. However, due to limited information, the clinical significance of the p.Thr4918Met variant is uncertain at this time. References: McGee TL et al. Novel mutations in the long isoform of the USH2A gene in patients with Usher syndrome type II or non-syndromic retinitis pigmentosa. J Med Genet. 2010 Jul;47(7):499-506. -

p.Thr4918Met in exon 67 of USH2A: This variant is not expected to have clinical significance because it has been identified in 0.2% (119/66710) of European chro mosomes, including 1 homozygous individual, by the Exome Aggregation Consortium (ExAC, http://exac.broadinstitute.org; dbSNP rs56136489). Threonine (Thr) at pos ition 4918 is not conserved in mammals or evolutionarily distant species and 1 m ammal (Pacific walrus) carries a methionine (Met) at this position, suggesting t his change may be tolerated. Additional computational prediction tools do not pr ovide strong support for or against an impact to the protein. Although this vari ant has been reported in one individual with Usher syndrome type II, the authors classified it as a variant of uncertain significance and did not clarify whethe r a second USH2A variant was found in the individual (McGee 2010). -
