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.

This sequence change replaces cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, with arginine, which is basic and polar, at codon 1455 of the ABCA4 protein (p.Cys1455Arg). This variant is present in population databases (rs758835368, gnomAD 0.003%). This missense change has been observed in individuals with Stargardt disease (PMID: 17982420, 22449572, 25312043, 29343940, 30834176, 32581362). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 377404). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) 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. -

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

The ABCA4 c.4363T>C (p.Cys1455Arg) missense variant has been reported in at least six studies in which it is found in a total of seven individuals with Stargardt disease including in four individuals in a compound heterozygous state and in two individuals in a heterozygous state. The variant was also found in one individual with early onset macular degeneration in a heterozygous state (Rosenberg et al. 2007; Westeneng-van Haaften et al. 2012; Fujinami et al. 2013, Fujinami et al. 2014, Fujinami et al. 2015; Lambertus et al. 2016). Control data are unavailable for this variant, which is reported at a frequency of 0.00003 in the European (non-Finnish) population from the Genome Aggregation Database. Based on the evidence, the p.Cys1455Arg variant is classified as pathogenic for ABCA4-related disorders. -
