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 creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Leu296Cysfs*4) in the ABCA4 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in ABCA4 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 10958761, 24938718, 25312043, 26780318). This variant is present in population databases (rs764759172, gnomAD 0.004%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with Stargardt disease (PMID: 21911583, 27739528, 28947085). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 438109). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Significance:Pathogenic

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

The frameshift variant c.885delp.Leu296CysfsTer4 in ABCA4 gene has been reported previously in individuals with Inherited retinal disease Tanaka K, et al., 2018, Carss KJ, et al., 2017. The variant is reported with 0.002% allele frequency in gnomAD Exomes and is novel not in any individuals in 1000 Genomes.This variant has been reported to the ClinVar database as Pathogenic/Likely Pathogenic. This variant causes a frameshift starting with codon Leucine 296, changes this amino acid to Cysteine residue, and creates a premature Stop codon at position 4 of the new reading frame, denoted p.Leu296CysfsTer4. This variant is predicted to cause loss of normal protein function through protein truncation. Loss of function variants have been previously reported to be disease causing Fujinami K, et al., 2015. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
