RCV001004785 | SCV001164270 | likely pathogenic | Usher syndrome | 2019-10-29 | reviewed by expert panel | curation | The c.5857+2T>C variant in USH2A has been identified in at least 3 probands with Usher syndrome, including two who were compound heterozygous for a second pathogenic variant though phase was not confirmed (PM3, PP4; PMID 20507924, 20507924, 18641288, LMM unpublished data SCV000065566.6). The allele frequency of this variant is 0.01% (2/15422) of European chromosomes by gnomAD, which is a low enough frequency to apply PM2_Supporting based on the thresholds defined by the ClinGen Hearing Loss Expert Panel for autosomal recessive hearing loss (PM2_Supporting). This variant occurs within the canonical splice site (+/- 1,2) and is predicted to cause altered splicing, though the exact impact is unknown. Exon 29 is in-frame, and if the variant results in exon skipping, it would remove <10% of the USH2A protein. However, two truncating pathogenic / likely pathogenic variants in this exon have been reported in ClinVar, which may suggest it is required for normal protein function (PVS1_Moderate). In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as likely pathogenic for autosomal recessive Usher syndrome based on the ACMG/AMP criteria applied as specified by the Hearing Loss Expert Panel (PVS1_Moderate, PM3, PP4, PM2_Supporting). |

RCV000041870 | SCV000065566 | pathogenic | Rare genetic deafness | 2013-03-11 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | The 5857+2T>C variant has been reported in 2 probands with the clinical features of Usher syndrome type II, one of whom carried a second pathogenic USH2A varian t (Sandberg 2008, McGee 2010). This variant occurs in the invariant region (+1/2 ) of the 5' splice consensus sequence and is predicted to cause altered splicing leading to an abnormal or absent protein. In summary, this variant meets our cr iteria to be classified as pathogenic (http://pcpgm.partners.org/LMM). |

RCV000295857 | SCV000354057 | uncertain significance | USH2A-related disorder | 2016-06-14 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | The c.5857+2T>C variant variant occurs in a canonical splice site (donor) and is therefore predicted to disrupt or distort the normal gene product. The variant has been described in two studies in which it was found in a compound heterozygous state in one individual with autosomal recessive retinitis pigmentosa, and in a heterozygous state in two individuals with Usher syndrome type II (Sandberg et al. 2008; McGee et al. 2010). Control data are unavailable for this variant which is also not found in the 1000 Genomes Project, the Exome Sequencing Project, or the Exome Aggregation Consortium. Due to the potential impact of splice donor variants and the supporting evidence from the literature, this variant is classified as a variant of unknown significance, but suspicious for pathogenicity for USH2A-related disorders. |

RCV001036145 | SCV001199495 | pathogenic | not provided | 2024-01-19 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | This sequence change affects a donor splice site in intron 29 of the USH2A 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 USH2A are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 10729113, 10909849, 20507924, 25649381). This variant is present in population databases (rs397518022, gnomAD 0.01%). Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individuals with autosomal recessive inherited retinal dystrophy and Usher syndrome, type 2A (PMID: 18641288, 20507924; Invitae). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 48544). 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. |
