Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 16 ACMG points: 16P and 0B. PS1 PM1 PM2 PM5 PP3_Strong PP5_Moderate

The NM_000350.3(ABCA4):c.4852T>C(p.Trp1618Arg) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. 12/21 in silico tools predict a damaging outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Likely pathogenic (★). Another nucleotide change resulting in same amino acid change has been previously reported as Likely pathogenicin ClinVar. Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. W1618C) has been classified as Likely pathogenic.

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.

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 16 ACMG points.

• PS1: Transcript NM_000350.3 (ABCA4) is affected with MISSENSE_VARIANT having same AA change as one Pathogenic present in ClinVar as 190984
• PM1: In a hotspot region, there are 6 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 0 benign, 8 uncertain in NM_000350.3
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PM5: Other missense variant is known to change same aminoacid residue: Variant chr1-94021404-C-A is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 2910114.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.972
• PP5: Variant 1-94021406-A-G is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr1-94021406-A-G is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 1480040.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.

Invitae

Nov 22, 2022

Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt ABCA4 protein function. In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. This variant disrupts the p.Trp1618 amino acid residue in ABCA4. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 31736247; Invitae). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 1480040). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with macular dystrophy (PMID: 26355662). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change replaces tryptophan, which is neutral and slightly polar, with arginine, which is basic and polar, at codon 1618 of the ABCA4 protein (p.Trp1618Arg). -
