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.

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.

Collection Method:clinical testing

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; internal data). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 99431). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.

Collection Method:clinical testing

The variant is observed at an extremely low frequency in the gnomAD v4.1.0 dataset (total allele frequency: <0.001%). Predicted Consequence/Location: 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. Damaging effect on gene or gene product predicted by in silico programs is uncertain [3Cnet: 1.00 (damaging >=0.6, benign <0.15)]. 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.

Review Status:no assertion criteria provided

Collection Method:clinical testing

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.
