Description
The p.Gly1961Glu (NM_000350.2 c.5882G>A) variant in ABCA4 has been reported >20 individuals with Stargardt disease and other retinal phenotypes and segregated with disease in 5 affected individuals from 5 families, but has been associated with reduced penetrance (Allikmets 1997 PMID:9295268, Burke 2012 PMID:22312191, Burke 2012 PMID:22661473, Song 2011 PMID:22025579, Burke 2010 PMID:20696155, Wiszniewski 2005 PMID:16103129, Cella 2009 PMID:19217903, Cideciyan 2009 PMID: 19074458). The variant shows a statistically significant (p<0.0001) difference in allele frequency in cases (5%) compared to the general population (0.4%, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org). In vitro functional studies support an impact on protein function (Sun 2000 PMID:11017087). This variant has also been reported as Pathogenic by multiple clinical labs in ClinVar (Variation ID 7879). In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for Stargardt disease in an autosomal recessive manner, though it may show reduced penetrance and a milder clinical presentation compared to other pathogenic variants in the ABCA4 gene. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: PS3_Supporting, PM3_VeryStrong, PP1_Strong.
