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 that the p.(R2038W) variant results in decreased ATP hydrolysis and decreased binding affinity for ATP (Biswas-Fiss et al., 2003); In silico analysis, which includes protein predictors and evolutionary conservation, supports a deleterious effect; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 9054934, 11379881, 15161829, 24763286, 28118664, 31054281, 29555955, 29854428, 33261146, 33090715, 31510083, 22328824, 22863181, 19230850, 9973280, 30093795, 12962493, 29925512) -

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

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with tryptophan, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 2038 of the ABCA4 protein (p.Arg2038Trp). This variant is present in population databases (rs61750643, gnomAD 0.007%). This missense change has been observed in individuals with Stargardt disease (PMID: 15161829, 24763286, 29854428, 29925512). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 99430). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae 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: 12962493). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
