RCV001386479 | SCV001586713 | pathogenic | not provided | 2025-01-13 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | This sequence change affects an acceptor splice site in intron 12 of the ABCA4 gene. It is expected to disrupt RNA splicing. Variants that disrupt the donor or acceptor splice site typically lead to a loss of protein function (PMID: 16199547), and loss-of-function variants in ABCA4 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 10958761, 24938718, 25312043, 26780318). The frequency data for this variant in the population databases is considered unreliable, as metrics indicate poor data quality at this position in the gnomAD database. Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individual(s) with cone-rod dystrophy (PMID: 26780318). 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: 1073468). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. |

RCV002225134 | SCV002503675 | likely pathogenic | Severe early-childhood-onset retinal dystrophy | 2023-03-30 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | This sequence change affects an acceptor splice site in intron 13 of ABCA4. It is expected to disrupt RNA splicing and likely results in exon 13 skipping, which would likely disrupt the protein product by removing 59 amino acids in the first extracellular domain. Loss of function is a well established mechanism of disease (PVS1_Moderate). The variant is present in a large population cohort at a frequency of 0.0008%, which is consistent with recessive disease (rs754765164, 2/249,438 alleles, 0 homozygotes in gnomAD v2.1.1 - PM2). It has been identified as homozygous in a retinitis pigmentosa case (DOI: 10.3760/cma.j.issn.1674-845X.2016.03.005), and is confirmed compound heterozygous with a pathogenic missense variant (p.Arg602Trp) in a Stargardt disease patient in this laboratory (PM3). Based on the classification scheme RMH ACMG Guidelines v1.1.1, this variant is classified as LIKELY PATHOGENIC. Following criteria are met: PVS1_Moderate, PM2, PM3. |
