Genes affected
ABCA4 (HGNC:34): (ATP binding cassette subfamily A member 4) The membrane-associated protein encoded by this gene is a member of the superfamily of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters. ABC proteins transport various molecules across extra- and intracellular membranes. ABC genes are divided into seven distinct subfamilies (ABC1, MDR/TAP, MRP, ALD, OABP, GCN20, White). This protein is a member of the ABC1 subfamily. Members of the ABC1 subfamily comprise the only major ABC subfamily found exclusively in multicellular eukaryotes. This protein is a retina-specific ABC transporter with N-retinylidene-PE as a substrate. It is expressed exclusively in retina photoreceptor cells, and the gene product mediates transport of an essental molecule, all-trans-retinal aldehyde (atRAL), across the photoreceptor cell membrane. Mutations in this gene are found in patients diagnosed with Stargardt disease, a form of juvenile-onset macular degeneration. Mutations in this gene are also associated with retinitis pigmentosa-19, cone-rod dystrophy type 3, early-onset severe retinal dystrophy, fundus flavimaculatus, and macular degeneration age-related 2.

ABCA4-related disorder Uncertain:2
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingPreventionGenetics, part of Exact SciencesJan 27, 2024The ABCA4 c.1140T>A variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Asn380Lys. This variant has been reported in multiple individuals with autosomal recessive retinal dystrophies (see for example, Table S1, Patel et al. 2015. PubMed ID: 26355662; Table 1, Riveiro-Alvarez et al 2013. PubMed ID: 23755871; Table S4, Maltese et al. 2022. PubMed ID: 35836572). However, in Riveiro-Alvarez et al. this variant was reported in cis with another variant as c.[1140T>A; 5395A>G] (p.[Asn380Lys; Asn1799Asp]). This variant is reported in 0.091% of alleles in individuals of European (non-Finnish) descent in gnomAD, indicating it is relatively common. At this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingIllumina Laboratory Services, IlluminaApr 27, 2017This variant was observed as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (where applicable). No publications were found based on this search. Allele frequency data from public databases did not allow this variant to be ruled in or out of causing disease. Therefore, this variant is classified as a variant of unknown significance. -
