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.

Molecular Genetics, Royal Melbourne Hospital
Significance:Likely pathogenic
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change is predicted to replace cysteine with phenylalanine at codon 1488 of the ABCA4 protein, p.(Cys1488Phe). The cysteine residue is highly conserved (100 vertebrates, UCSC), and is predicted to form a disulphide bond. There is a large physicochemical difference between cysteine and phenylalanine. The variant is present in a large population cohort at a frequency of 0.0008%, which is consistent with recessive disease (rs61750147, 2/243,254 alleles, 0 homozygotes in gnomAD v2.1). The variant has been identified in at least one Stargardt disease case with another pathogenic variant (PMID: 11673412). Multiple lines of computational evidence predict a deleterious effect for the missense substitution (7/7 algorithms). Two different missense changes at the same position (p.Cys1488Tyr, p.Cys1488Arg) determined to be likely pathogenic/pathogenic have been seen before (ClinVar IDs: 99284, 99285). Based on the classification scheme RMH ACMG Guidelines v1.2.1, this variant is classified as LIKELY PATHOGENIC. Following criteria are met: PM2, PM5, PM3_Supporting, PP3. -

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 (MIM #248200), cone-rod dystrophy 3 (MIM #6041163), fundus flavimaculatus (MIM #248200), early-onset severe Retinal dystrophy (MIM #248200) and retinitis pigmentosa 19 (MIM #601718). (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 cysteine to phenylalanine. (I) 0251 - This variant is heterozygous. (I) 0304 - Variant is present in gnomAD (v4) <0.01 for a recessive condition (29 heterozygotes, 0 homozygotes). (SP) 0309 - Multiple alternative amino acid changes at the same position have been observed in gnomAD (v4) (highest allele count: 15 heterozygotes, 0 homozygotes). (I) 0501 - Missense variant consistently predicted to be damaging by multiple in silico tools and highly conserved with a major amino acid change. (SP) 0600 - Variant is located at an annotated cysteine residue that is involved in a disulphide bond (DECIPHER). (I) 0701 - Other missense variants comparable to the one identified in this case has very strong previous evidence for pathogenicity. p.(Cys1488Arg) and p.(Cys1488Tyr) have been identified in multiple individuals with Stargardt disease (ClinVar; PMID: 22449572, 23769331, 29854428, 31766579, 30820146). (SP) 0801 - This variant has strong previous evidence of pathogenicity in unrelated individuals. This variant has been identified in at least five individuals with Stargardt disease (Clinvar; PMID: 11328725). (SP) 1208 - Inheritance information for this variant is not currently available in this individual. (I) Legend: (SP) - Supporting pathogenic, (I) - Information, (SB) - Supporting benign -

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

This sequence change replaces cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, with phenylalanine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 1488 of the ABCA4 protein (p.Cys1488Phe). This variant is present in population databases (rs61750147, gnomAD 0.002%). This missense change has been observed in individuals with Stargardt disease (PMID: 20647261; internal data). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 99286). 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%. This variant disrupts the p.Cys1488 amino acid residue in ABCA4. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 22449572, 28559085, 29555955, 29925512). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
