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.

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

For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 517494). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individuals with Usher syndrome (PMID: 21569298, 25333064, 27460420, 27957503). This variant is present in population databases (rs751176116, gnomAD 0.0009%). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg2509Glyfs*19) 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). -

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

Variant summary: USH2A c.7524delT (p.Arg2509GlyfsX19) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 4e-06 in 250734 control chromosomes. c.7524delT has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Usher Syndrome (e.g. Bonnet_2019). To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publication have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 21569298). Nine submitters have cited clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014. All submitters classified the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

The p.Arg2509fs variant in USH2A has been reported in the compound heterozygous state in at least two individuals with Usher syndrome (Bonnet 2011, Krawitz 2014 , Bonnet 2016). It has been identified in 1/111126 European chromosomes by the G enome Aggregation Database (gnomAD, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/; dbSNP rs7 51176116). Although this variant has been seen in the general population, its fr equency is low enough to be consistent with a recessive carrier frequency for Us her syndrome. This variant is predicted to cause a frameshift, which alters the protein?s amino acid sequence beginning at position 2509 and leads to a prematur e termination codon 19 amino acids downstream. This alteration is then predicted to lead to a truncated or absent protein. Loss of function is an established di sease mechanism for autosomal recessive Usher syndrome. In summary, the p.Arg25 09fs variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for autosomal recessi ve Usher syndrome based on the predicted impact of the variant and compound hete rozygosity with other pathogenic USH2A variants in individuals with Usher syndro me. -
