Description

The W41X nonsense variant has been reported previously in association with ABCA4-related disorders (Cideciyan et al., 2009; Schulz et al., 2017). This variant is predicted to cause loss of normal protein function either through protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. The variant is not observed at a significant frequency in large population cohorts (Lek et al., 2016). We consider this variant to be pathogenic.

Description

For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may create or strengthen a splice site. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 99036). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individuals with ABCA4-related retinal dystrophy (PMID: 19074458, 25444351, 30670881). This variant is present in population databases (rs61751410, gnomAD 0.0009%). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Trp41*) in the ABCA4 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in ABCA4 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 10958761, 24938718, 25312043, 26780318).
