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.

Nonsense variant predicted to result in protein truncation or nonsense mediated decay in a gene for which loss-of-function is a known mechanism of disease; Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (Lek et al., 2016); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 25640233, 25283059, 10090887, 25525159, 24713488, 29555955, 29847651, 30204727, 29925512, 28559085, 28118664, 31574917, 29854428, 26806561, 26103963, 31766579) -

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Gln1412*) 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 present in population databases (rs61750137, gnomAD 0.002%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individuals with various forms of retinal disease (PMID: 10090887, 24713488, 25283059, 28559085, 29847651). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 99263). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method: clinical testing

Stop-gained (nonsense): predicted to result in a loss or disruption of normal protein function through nonsense-mediated decay (NMD) or protein truncation. Multiple pathogenic variants are reported downstream of the variant (PVS1_VS). It is observed at an extremely low frequency in the gnomAD v2.1.1 dataset (total allele frequency: 0.000007, PM2_M). The variant has been reported at least twice as pathogenic/likely pathogenic with clinical assertions and evidence for the classification (ClinVar ID: VCV000099263, PMID:10090887). Therefore, this variant is classified as pathogenic according to the recommendation of ACMG/AMP guideline. -

Variant summary: ABCA4 c.4234C>T (p.Gln1412X) 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. Truncations downstream of this position have been classified as pathogenic in ClinVar. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 4e-06 in 251372 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.4234C>T has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with various forms of retinal disease (example: Maugeri_1999, Bertelsen_2014, Duncker_2015). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. Ten clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 and all classified the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
