Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 15 ACMG points: 15P and 0B. PM3_StrongPM2PVS1PP4

This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: The c.4510dupA (p.Arg1504LysX26) variant in USH2A is predicted to cause a premature stop codon in biologically-relevant-exon 21/72 that leads to a truncated or absent protein in a gene in which loss-of-function is an established mechanism (PVS1). This variant has been detected in 2 patients with hearing loss in trans with 2 different pathogenic variants (PM3_S; PMID:22135276). The allele frequency of the p.Arg1504LysX26 variant in the USH2A gene is 0.003% (3/111138) of European chromosomes by the Genome Aggregation Database (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org), which is a low enough frequency to award PM2 based on the thresholds defined by the ClinGen Hearing Loss Expert Panel for autosomal recessive hearing loss (PM2). At least one patient with a variant in this gene displayed features of retinitis pigmentosa (PP4; PMID:22135276). In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for autosomal recessive Usher syndrome based on the ACMG/AMP criteria applied, as specified by the Hearing Loss Expert Panel: PVS1, PM3_S, PM2, PP4.

Genes affected

USH2A (HGNC:12601): (usherin) This gene encodes a protein that contains laminin EGF motifs, a pentaxin domain, and many fibronectin type III motifs. The protein is found in the basement membrane, and may be important in development and homeostasis of the inner ear and retina. Mutations within this gene have been associated with Usher syndrome type IIa and retinitis pigmentosa. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

Observed with a pathogenic variant in an unrelated patient in published literature, but it is not known whether the variants occurred on the same (in cis) or on different (in trans) chromosomes (Carss et al., 2017); Frameshift variant predicted to result in protein truncation or nonsense mediated decay in a gene for which loss-of-function is a known mechanism of disease; Not observed at a significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); Classified as pathogenic by the ClinGen Hearing Loss Expert Panel (ClinVar SCV000840511.3; Oza et al., 2018); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 22135276, 10729113, 15325563, 18641288, 28041643, 31980526, 32581362, 32037395) -

Significance:Pathogenic

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg1504Lysfs*26) in the USH2A gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in USH2A are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 10729113, 10909849, 20507924, 25649381). This variant is present in population databases (rs727503731, gnomAD 0.003%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individuals with Usher syndrome (PMID: 10729113, 15325563, 22135276). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 166504). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Significance:Pathogenic

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:curation

The p.Arg1504LysfsTer26 variant in USH2A was identified in an individual with Retinitis pigmentosa, via a collaborative study between the Broad Institute's Center for Mendelian Genomics and the Pierce lab (https://oculargenomics.meei.harvard.edu/labs/pierce-lab/lab-members/). Through a review of available evidence we were able to apply the following criteria: PVS1, PM2, PM3, PP3, PP4. Based on this evidence we have classified this variant as Pathogenic. If you have any questions about the classification please reach out to the Pierce Lab. -

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

The Arg1504fs variant in USH2A has been reported in five individuals with Usher syndrome, of which at least three were compound heterozygous with a second patho genic USH2A variant (Weston 2000, Le Quesne Stabej 2012, Seyedahmadi 2004). This frameshift variant is predicted to alter the protein?s amino acid sequence begi nning at position 1504 and lead to a premature termination codon 26 amino acids downstream. This alteration is then predicted to lead to a truncated or absent p rotein. In summary, this variant meets our criteria to be classified as pathogen ic (http://pcpgm.partners.org/LMM). -
