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.

Published functional studies demonstrate a damaging, temperature-sensitive processing effect on the ABCA4 protein (Sabirzhanova et al., 2015); In silico analysis, which includes protein predictors and evolutionary conservation, supports a deleterious effect; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 11379881, 19074458, 24713488, 11702214, 26354092, 23757202, 11527935, 11726554, 11328725, 29555955, 28118664, 28559085, 32531858, 25283059, 16917483, 23918662, 9781034, 10958763, 26103963, 16703556, 30337596, 30653986, 31456290, 32845050, 32467599, 31589614, 32619608, 32037395, 33732702, 35119454, 35656873, 34216551, 9973280, 29925512, 26092729) -

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 1108 of the ABCA4 protein (p.Arg1108Cys). This variant is present in population databases (rs61750120, gnomAD 0.02%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with Stargardt disease and retinitis pigmentosa (PMID: 10958763, 11379881, 16703556, 26103963, 30337596). 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: 92867). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt ABCA4 protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects ABCA4 function (PMID: 26092729). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Based on the classification scheme VCGS_Germline_v1.3.5, this variant is classified as Pathogenic. Following criteria are met: 0102 - Loss of function is a known mechanism of disease in this gene and is associated with Stargardt disease 1 (MIM#248200) and other inherited retinal diseases (OMIM). (I) 0106 - This gene is associated with autosomal recessive disease. (I) 0115 - Variants in this gene are known to have variable expressivity (PMID: 31522899). (I) 0200 - Variant is predicted to result in a missense amino acid change from arginine to cystine. (I) 0251 - This variant is heterozygous. (I) 0304 - Variant is present in gnomAD (v4) <0.01 for a recessive condition (313 heterozygotes, 0 homozygotes). (SP) 0309 - Multiple alternative amino acid changes at the same position have been observed in gnomAD (v4) (highest allele count: 75 heterozygotes, 0 homozygotes). (I) 0501 - Missense variant consistently predicted to be damaging by multiple in silico tools or highly conserved with a major amino acid change. (SP) 0604 - Variant is not located in an established domain, motif, hotspot or informative constraint region. (I) 0801 - This variant has strong previous evidence of pathogenicity in unrelated individuals. The variant has previously been observed in multiple individuals with Stargardt disease (ClinVar, PMID: 33129279).

The c.3322C>T (p.R1108C) alteration is located in exon 22 (coding exon 22) of the ABCA4 gene. This alteration results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 3322, causing the arginine (R) at amino acid position 1108 to be replaced by a cysteine (C). Based on data from gnomAD, the T allele has an overall frequency of 0.0127% (36/282728) total alleles studied. The highest observed frequency was 0.0201% (26/129052) of European (non-Finnish) alleles. This variant has been identified in the homozygous state and/or in conjunction with other ABCA4 variants in multiple individuals with features consistent with ABCA4-related retinal dystrophy; in at least one instance, the variants were identified in trans (Rivera, 2000; Bertelsen, 2014; Boulanger-Scemama, 2015; Ezquerra-Inchausti, 2018). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In an assay testing ABCA4 function, this variant showed a functionally abnormal result (Sabirzhanova, 2015). This alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Based on the available evidence, this alteration is classified as pathogenic. -

The ABCA4 c.3322C>T variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Arg1108Cys. This variant has been reported many times in the compound heterozygous state in individuals with Stargardt disease (see for examples Rozet et al. 1998. PubMed ID: 9781034; Bertelsen et al. 2014. PubMed ID: 24713488; Duncker et al. 2015. PubMed ID: 25283059; Zhu et al. 2021. PubMed ID: 33732702). This variant is reported in 0.020% of alleles in individuals of European (Non-Finnish) descent in gnomAD. This variant has been classified as pathogenic by the majority of ClinVar submitters (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/92867/). Given the evidence, we interpret this variant as pathogenic. -
