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 submitterclinical testingLabcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), LabcorpJan 29, 2024This sequence change replaces aspartic acid, which is acidic and polar, with asparagine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 1532 of the ABCA4 protein (p.Asp1532Asn). This variant is present in population databases (rs62642574, gnomAD 0.2%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with Stargardt disease (PMID: 9973280, 11726554, 19217903, 22589445, 24409374, 29925512; Invitae). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 99304). 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%. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Pathogenic, no assertion criteria providedclinical testingPreventionGenetics, part of Exact SciencesSep 09, 2024The ABCA4 c.4594G>A variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Asp1532Asn. This variant has been reported to be causative for autosomal recessive Stargardt disease (see for examples: Lewis et al. 1999. PubMed ID: 9973280; Table S2, Zampaglione et al. 2020. PubMed ID: 32037395; Table S1, Lin et al. 2024. PubMed ID: 38219857). This variant is reported in 0.21% of alleles in individuals of Ashkenazi Jewish descent in gnomAD. This variant is interpreted as pathogenic. -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpMay 30, 2023Variant summary: ABCA4 c.4594G>A (p.Asp1532Asn) results in a conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00011 in 251478 control chromosomes (gnomAD). This frequency is not significantly higher than estimated for a pathogenic variant in ABCA4 causing Retinitis Pigmentosa (0.00011 vs 0.0014), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. c.4594G>A has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Stargardt disease and bull's eye maculopathy (examples: Lewis_1999, Shroyer_2001, Cella_2009, Giani_2012, Verdina_2014). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 11726554, 19217903 , 22589445, 24409374 , 9973280 ). Six clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 and all classified the variant as pathogenic/likely pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
