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.

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product undergoes nonsense mediated mRNA decay. LoF is a known mechanism of disease.

• PP5: Variant 1-215867112-G-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr1-215867112-G-A is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 228417.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars. Variant chr1-215867112-G-A is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic]. Variant chr1-215867112-G-A is described in Lovd as [Likely_pathogenic].

Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	research	Ocular Genomics Institute, Massachusetts Eye and Ear	Apr 08, 2021	The USH2A c.8740C>T variant was identified in an individual with retinitis pigmentosa with a presumed recessive inheritance pattern. Through a review of available evidence we were able to apply the following criteria: PVS1, PM2. Based on this evidence we have classified this variant as Likely Pathogenic. -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Invitae	Nov 25, 2023	This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg2914*) 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 (rs766590491, gnomAD 0.003%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individuals with USH2A-related conditions (PMID: 24944099, 25472526). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 228417). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

The p.Arg2914X variant in USH2A has been previously reported in 4 individuals wi th Usher syndrome (Baux 2014, McGee 2010) and 1 individual with retinitis pigmen tosa (RP) (Zhao 2015), however hearing loss was not evaluated in the latter. At least 4 of these individuals were compound heterozygous for a second pathogenic variant in USH2A. This variant has been identified in 1/66678 European chromoso mes by the Exome Aggregation Consortium (ExAC, http://exac.broadinstitute.org), though this frequency is low enough to be consistent with a recessive carrier fr equency. This nonsense variant leads to a premature termination codon at positio n 2914, which is predicted to lead to a truncated or absent protein. Loss of fun ction of the USH2A gene is an established disease mechanism in Usher syndrome. I n summary, the p.Arg2914X variant in USH2A meets our criteria to be classified a s pathogenic for autosomal recessive Usher syndrome based upon the predicted imp act to the protein and the previously reported individuals with Usher syndrome ( www.partners.org/personalizedmedicine/lmm). -
