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.

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp	Oct 25, 2023	This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg2040*) 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 (rs61753038, gnomAD 0.02%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individuals with ABCA4-related retinal dystrophy (PMID: 26161775, 29555955, 29925512; Invitae). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 99431). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	GeneDx	Oct 24, 2018	The R2040X nonsense variant in the ABCA4 gene has been reported in association with Stargardt disease (Baum et al., 2003; Downes et al., 2012; Fujinami et al., 2013; Jiang et al., 2016). This pathogenic variant is predicted to cause loss of normal protein function either through protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. The R2040X variant was observed in 3/18866 (0.016%) alleles in East Asian individuals in large population databases (Lek et al., 2016). We interpret R2040X as a pathogenic variant. -

The variant is observed at an extremely low frequency in the gnomAD v2.1.1 dataset (total allele frequency: 0.001%). Stop-gained (nonsense) is 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. The variant has been reported at least twice as pathogenic with clinical assertions and evidence for the classification (ClinVar ID: VCV000099431 / PMID: 12592048 / 3billion dataset). Therefore, this variant is classified as Pathogenic according to the recommendation of ACMG/AMP guideline. -

Sep 23, 2024

The ABCA4 c.6118C>T variant is predicted to result in premature protein termination (p.Arg2040*). This variant was reported, along with a second putative causative variant in the same gene, in individuals with Stargardt/retinal disease (see, for example, Birtel et al. 2018. PubMed ID: 29555955; Table S1, Fujinami et al. 2018. PubMed ID: 29925512; Table S2, Liu et al. 2020. PubMed ID: 33090715; Table S2, Sun et al. 2020. PubMed ID: 33301772). This variant is reported in 0.015% of alleles in individuals of East Asian descent in gnomAD. Nonsense variants in ABCA4 are expected to be pathogenic. This variant is interpreted as pathogenic. -
