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.

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Gln1408*) 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 (rs746551311, gnomAD 0.05%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with retinitis pigmentosa (PMID: 15325563, 26856745). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 438021). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

USH2A NM_206933.2 exon 19 p.Gln1408* (c.4222C>T): This variant has been reported in the literature in at least 4 individuals with retinitis pigmentosa as well as 1 individual with an unspecified suspected disease of genetic etiology, typically in the homozygous or compound heterozygous state (Seyedahmadi 2004 PMID:15325563, Tajiguli 2016 PMID:26856745, Hagag 2020 PMID:31266775, Molina-Ramirez 2020 PMID:32176120, Turro 2020 PMID:32581362). This variant is present in 0.02% (1/4818) of South Asian alleles in the Genome Aggregation Database (https://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/variant/1-216196582-G-A?dataset=gnomad_r3). Please note, disease causing variants may be present in control databases at low frequencies, reflective of the general population, carrier status, and/or variable expressivity. This variant is present in ClinVar, with several labs classifying this variant as Pathogenic (Variation ID:438021). Evolutionary conservation and computational predictive tools for this variant are limited or unavailable. This variant creates a premature stop at this codon which results in an absent or abnormal protein. Loss of function variants are a known mechanism of disease for this gene (Inaba 2020 PMID:33105608). In summary, this variant is classified as pathogenic based on the data above. -

The USH2A c.4222C>T; p.Gln1408Ter variant (rs746551311) is reported in the literature in several individuals affected with retinitis pigmentosa or Usher syndrome (Bonnet 2016, Seyedahmadi 2004, Tajiguli 2016). This variant has been observed in affected individuals both in the homozygous state and together with a second pathogenic variant (Bonnet 2016, Tajiguli 2016). This variant is found in the South Asian population with an overall allele frequency of 0.04% (14/30612 alleles) in the Genome Aggregation Database, and it is reported as pathogenic by multiple laboratories in ClinVar (Variation ID: 438021). This variant induces an early termination codon and is predicted to result in a truncated protein or mRNA subject to nonsense-mediated decay. Based on available information, this variant is considered to be pathogenic. References: Bonnet C et al.
