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.

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingGeneDxNov 10, 2021Not 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; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 24713488, 17982420, 22229821, 28559085, 30093795, 31589614, 33732702, 22264887, 24317291, 32619608, 31968401, 11726554, 11527935, 15192030, 33090715, 29925512) -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLabcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), LabcorpDec 14, 2023This sequence change replaces glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, with arginine, which is basic and polar, at codon 550 of the ABCA4 protein (p.Gly550Arg). This variant is present in population databases (rs61748558, gnomAD 0.003%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with Stargardt disease (PMID: 11726554, 28559085, 29925512). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 99070). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt ABCA4 protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

ABCA4-related disorder Pathogenic:2
Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingIllumina Laboratory Services, IlluminaOct 25, 2018The ABCA4 c.1648G>A (p.Gly550Arg) missense variant has been identified in at least seven studies in which it is found in a total of seven individuals including in three in a compound heterozygous state with a known pathogenic variant and four in a heterozygous state with an undetected second allele (Shroyer et al., 2001; Briggs et al., 2001; Stenirri et al., 2004; Thiadens et al 2012; Bertelsen et al. 2014; Fujinami et al., 2015; Salles et al. 2018). Six of these individuals exhibited Stargardt disease and the seventh exhibited generalized choriocapillaris dystrophy. The p.Gly550Arg variant was absent from 100 control chromosomes (Shroyer et al., 2001) and is reported at a frequency of 0.00006 in the South Asian population of the Exome Aggregation Consortium, but this is based on one allele, so the variant is presumed to be rare. Based on the evidence, the p.Gly550Arg variant is classified as likely pathogenic for ABCA4-related disorders. This variant was observed by ICSL as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingPreventionGenetics, part of Exact SciencesAug 14, 2023The ABCA4 c.1648G>A variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Gly550Arg. This variant has been reported many times as causative for autosomal recessive retinal dystrophy (see for examples Shroyer et al. 2001. PubMed ID: 11726554; Bertelsen et al. 2014. PubMed ID: 24713488; Table S1 in Stone. 2017. PubMed ID: 28559085; Zhu et al. 2021. PubMed ID: 33732702). This variant is reported in 0.0033% of alleles in individuals of South Asian descent in gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/variant/1-94528780-C-T). This variant has been classified as pathogenic by multiple independent submitters to the ClinVar database (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/99070/). Given the evidence, we interpret c.1648G>A (p.Gly550Arg) as pathogenic. -
