Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely pathogenic. The variant received 8 ACMG points: 8P and 0B. PS3PM1PP2PP5

The NM_000350.3(ABCA4):​c.4610C>T​(p.Thr1537Met) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0000397 in 1,614,118 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity (no stars). ClinVar reports functional evidence for this variant: "SCV001233683: Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects ABCA4 function (PMID:24097981)." and additional evidence is available in ClinVar. Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. T1537T) has been classified as Likely benign. The gene ABCA4 is included in the ClinGen Criteria Specification Registry.

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.

ACMG classification

Classification was made for transcript

Our verdict: Likely_pathogenic. The variant received 8 ACMG points.

PS3
PS3 evidence extracted from ClinVar submissions: SCV001233683: Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects ABCA4 function (PMID: 24097981).; SCV002521013: Functional studies provide moderate evidence of the variant having a damaging effect on the gene or gene product (PMID:24097981).; SCV005881637: Study has shown the variant affected protein function (PS3, PMID:4097981)
PM1
In a hotspot region, there are 4 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 0 benign, 6 uncertain in NM_000350.3
PP2
Missense variant in the gene, where a lot of missense mutations are associated with disease in ClinVar. The gene has 578 curated pathogenic missense variants (we use a threshold of 10). The gene has 28 curated benign missense variants. Gene score misZ: -0.65813 (below the threshold of 3.09). Trascript score misZ: 1.3628 (below the threshold of 3.09). GenCC associations: The gene is linked to severe early-childhood-onset retinal dystrophy, retinitis pigmentosa, age related macular degeneration 2, retinitis pigmentosa 19, cone-rod dystrophy 3, ABCA4-related retinopathy, Stargardt disease, cone-rod dystrophy.
PP5
Variant 1-94024978-G-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr1-94024978-G-A is described in ClinVar as Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity. ClinVar VariationId is 99306.
