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 Likely_pathogenic. Variant got 7 ACMG points.

• PP5: Variant 1-94018526-T-C is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr1-94018526-T-C is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 236127.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars. Variant chr1-94018526-T-C is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic]. Variant chr1-94018526-T-C is described in Lovd as [Likely_pathogenic]. Variant chr1-94018526-T-C is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].
• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (BayesDel_noAF=-0.91).. Strength limited to SUPPORTING due to the PP5.

Submissions by phenotype

not provided Pathogenic:4

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Invitae	Nov 18, 2023	This sequence change falls in intron 36 of the ABCA4 gene. It does not directly change the encoded amino acid sequence of the ABCA4 protein. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This variant has been observed in individual(s) with Stargardt disease (PMID: 23918662, 28118664, 29848554). 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: 236127). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may create or strengthen a splice site. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
