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.

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Gln635*) in the ABCA4 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in ABCA4 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 10958761, 24938718, 25312043, 26780318). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with ABCA4-related conditions (PMID: 10958763, 28559085, 29555955, 32531858). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 99096). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Variant summary: ABCA4 c.1903C>T (p.Gln635X) 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 frequency data for this variant in gnomAD is considered unreliable, as metrics indicate poor data quality at this position. c.1903C>T has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Stargardt disease, conerod dystrophy or sporadic retinitis pigmentosa (Rivera_2000, Weisschuh_2020). 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. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 10958763, 32531858). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 99096). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
