RCV000363478 | SCV000330870 | pathogenic | not provided | 2016-10-17 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | The c.1100-2 A>T splice site variant in the ABCA4 gene destroys the canonical splice acceptor site in intron 8. It is predicted to cause abnormal gene splicing, either leading to an abnormal message that is subject to nonsense-mediated mRNA decay, or to an abnormal protein product if the message is used for protein translation. The variant was not observed in approximately 6,500 individuals of European and African American ancestry in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, indicating it is not a common benign variant in these populations. Although this variant has not been previously reported to our knowledge, we consider it to be pathogenic. |
