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.

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

The ABCA4 c.4195G>T (p.Glu1399Ter) variant is a stop-gained variant predicted to result in premature termination of the protein. The variant has been reported in three studies in which it is identified in a compound heterozygous state in six individuals with Stargardt disease (Rivera et al. 2000; Xin et al. 2015; Schulz et al. 2017). Three of these individuals are siblings and carry the p.Glu1399Ter variant and a reported pathogenic missense variant, each inherited from one of their unaffected carrier parents (Xin et al. 2015). The variant has not been reported in the literature in association with autosomal recessive cone rod dystrophy, autosomal recessive retinitis pigmentosa, or autosomal dominant macular degeneration. The p.Glu1399Ter variant was absent from 632 control subjects and is reported at a frequency of 0.000174 in the East Asian population of the Genome Aggregation Database. Based on the evidence and the potential impact of stop-gained variants, the p.Glu1399Ter variant is classified as likely pathogenic for ABCA4-related disorders. This variant was observed by ICSL as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population.
