Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 13 ACMG points: 13P and 0B. PS3PP3PP5_Very_Strong

The NM_000350.3(ABCA4):​c.4253+5G>T variant causes a splice region, intron change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0000105 in 1,613,796 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. 2/3 splice prediction tools predicting alterations to normal splicing. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic (★★). ClinVar reports functional evidence for this variant: "SCV000511894: Published functional studies demonstrate significant aberrant splicing with skipping of exon 28 (PMID:29162642)" and additional evidence is available in ClinVar. The gene ABCA4 is included in the ClinGen Criteria Specification Registry.

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.

ACMG classification

Classification was made for transcript

Our verdict: Pathogenic. The variant received 13 ACMG points.

PS3
PS3 evidence extracted from ClinVar submissions: SCV000511894: Published functional studies demonstrate significant aberrant splicing with skipping of exon 28 (PMID: 29162642); SCV001227605: Studies have shown that this variant alters mRNA splicing and is expected to lead to the loss of protein expression (PMID: 29162642).; SCV004729505: A functional study using a midigene splicing assay showed that this variant causes a significant decrease in correctly spliced mRNA (Sangermano et al. 2018. PubMed ID: 29162642).
PP3
Splicing predictors support a deleterious effect. Scorers claiming Pathogenic: dbscSNV1_ADA, dbscSNV1_RF. Scorers claiming Uncertain: max_spliceai. No scorers claiming Benign.
